The war was over in 1991. A short review of the leadup: The US didn't like Saddam very much and in '86 he discovered the US sold arms to their enemy (Iran).

The war began when Iraq invaded Kuwait. That doesn't go unnoticed around the world. Kuwait exports a large percent of the world's oil on the market. The invasion was also unjustified which warranted defense and liberation. So the US along with the UN and many of its members began the Persian Gulf War.
