How It Started:  On July 17, 1990, Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein accused Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates of flooding the world oil market. Specifically, he accused Kuwait for stealing oil from a disputed supply, the Rumaila oil field which ran beneath both countries, and thus waging "economic war" against Iraq. On August 2, 1990, Iraqi military forces invaded and occupied Kuwait. 

When?  On August 2, 1990, Iraqi military forces invaded and occupied Kuwait.  images/iraniraq.gif

 U.S. involvement in the situation was immediate, as Sheikh Jaber Al Sabah, the Emir of Kuwait, met with then- Secretary of Defense Richard Cheney to request U.S. military assistance, and President George Bush condemned Iraq's actions. While U.S. military commanders and strategists formulated offensive plans, the United Nations passed a resolution calling for military action if Hussein did not withdraw his forces by January 15, 1991  mittedFileView?file=history_gulfwar.htm mittedFileView?file=history_gulfwar.htm h=668&tbm=isch&tbnid=GVPwBMR6s6SfiM%3A&imgrefurl=http%3A%2 F%2Fwww.historyguy.com%2FGulfWar.html&docid=psFyWctWs-- tIM&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.historyguy.com%2Fgulf_war_troops.j pg&w=600&h=425&ei=TTLUUqDkDIXYyQHTjIDwCQ&zoom=1&ved=0C G0QhBwwAg&iact=rc&dur=996&page=1&start=0&ndsp=9
