What were the causes and results of the First Gulf War in 1991?

Well, the "First Gulf War" was the only Gulf War. What is going on now in Iraq and Afghanistan has very little to do with the Persian Gulf as a strategic necessity. To answer the question, the causes were the British exclusion of Kuwait when the country of Iraq was formed after World War 1, and the power vacuum created by the ending of the Cold War. Sadaam Hussein saw an opportunity to annex Kuwait in 1990 and create an Arab alliance in the Mideast, but other Arab countries did not go for it. The threat to the Persian Gulf oil suppy led to the formation of the Gulf Coalition, and Iraq was ejected from Kuwait in 1991. The long-term results of the war were a continued Western military presence in the Persian Gulf region, and the removal of Iraq as a threat to Persian Gulf oil exportation.

Did George W. Bush declare war without the senate approval?

President George Bush actually went to Congress and got Congress's approval for the use of Military Force, which is a type of war declaration. There were actually at least three such war authorizations that would apply to Iraq. Any one of them would have been well within the requirement of the Constitution.

The "Authorization for Use of Military Force against Iraq" was approved by Congress in October 2002.

Congress had previously given the Commander-in-Chief a very general authority for the War on Terror, which would include war in or against Iraq, which was a known and proven supporter and haven for terrorists. That authorization was granted just after 9/11.

And George W. Bush could have invaded Iraq under authority of the Iraq War resolution of 1991 that his father G. H. W. Bush had been granted by Congress. Why? Because Saddam had never surrendered in that war, since the end of the active campaigns to take back Kuwait there had been a series of ceasefires, breakings of the ceasefire, and continuing missile and air raids by the US to enforce the ceasefire agreements -- the war was in low-grade sort-of-pause but it was still a war. That's not a "loophole"!
