Saddam Hussein.
The war fought to remove Saddam Hussein from Kuwait was the Gulf War, also known as Operation Desert Storm, which took place in 1990-1991. Following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, a coalition of forces led by the United States intervened to expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait. The conflict began with an extensive air campaign in January 1991, followed by a ground offensive that swiftly liberated Kuwait by late February 1991.
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. However, the separation of Kuwait by the British early on made it independent to all but the Iraqis.
