In 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, citing various reasons, including allegations that Kuwait was overproducing oil and driving down prices, which harmed Iraq's economy. He also claimed historical claims over Kuwait, asserting it was part of Iraq. The invasion led to international condemnation and ultimately sparked the Gulf War, as a coalition of countries intervened to repel Iraqi forces from Kuwait.
The United States led coalition during the First Gulf War showed remarkable restraint before beginning the air war and ultimate land invasion into Kuwait and Iraq. The coalition operation began with Operation Desert Shield sending the bulk forces to secure Saudi Arabia. Once diplomacy failed to secure Saddam Hussein's withdrawal did the phase of Desert Storm begin.
