Kuwait, to Iraq's southwest, was conquered by Iraq in 1990. It was considered the 19th province of Iraq since during the Ottoman Period, Kuwait was part of the Mesopotamian region dominated by Iraq.

The borders of Iraq reverted to antebellum borders. That is to say that Iraq's borders returned to the way they were before any war began. Iraq had the same borders in 1992 as it did 1989. (The Persian Gulf War was from 1990, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, to 1991, when the UN Coalition evicted Iraq from Kuwait.)


How did the United Nations Un react in the early1990s to Iraq violation of an international treaty?

In the early 1990s, following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, the United Nations reacted swiftly by condemning the violation of international law and calling for Iraq's withdrawal. The UN Security Council imposed economic sanctions on Iraq and passed Resolution 678, authorizing the use of force to liberate Kuwait if Iraq did not comply by January 15, 1991. This led to the Gulf War, where a U.S.-led coalition intervened militarily to restore Kuwait's sovereignty. The UN's actions underscored its commitment to upholding international treaties and maintaining global peace and security.
