The Persian Gulf War, which began in 1990, was primarily caused by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, driven by Saddam Hussein's desire to control Kuwait's oil reserves and eliminate its debt from the Iran-Iraq War. The invasion was met with widespread international condemnation, leading to a coalition of nations, led by the United States, forming to oppose Iraq's aggression. The conflict escalated into a military campaign, known as Operation Desert Storm, aimed at liberating Kuwait and restoring its sovereignty. The war ultimately highlighted issues of regional power dynamics and the importance of oil in global politics.
