Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 primarily to assert control over its oil reserves and to address Iraq's economic difficulties following the Iran-Iraq War. He accused Kuwait of overproducing oil, which he claimed harmed Iraq's economy, and sought to erase Iraq's debt by annexing Kuwait. Additionally, Hussein aimed to enhance Iraq's regional power and influence by controlling Kuwait's resources. The invasion ultimately led to the Gulf War, as it prompted a coalition of nations to intervene and drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait.
