The Persian Gulf War began in response to Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, prompting a coalition of nations led by the United States to intervene. The United Nations condemned the invasion and imposed economic sanctions on Iraq, while NATO supported the coalition forces. In January 1991, Operation Desert Storm was launched, resulting in a swift military campaign that liberated Kuwait by February 1991. The conflict highlighted the geopolitical significance of oil and the international community's commitment to uphold sovereignty.
