Explanation:

The Persian Gulf War was a result of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Saddam Hussein thought that Kuwait should not be a separate country, and that it belongs to Iraq. He ordered his troops to march on Kuwait and invade it. The Iraqi army didn't had any problems doing this as Kuwait was not capable of defending itself against the Iraqi army. Kuwait though was one of the largest exporters of oil in the world, so the Iraqi invasion quickly rang the alarm, and the US and UN sent their troops in Kuwait in order to release it from Iraq. They managed to do so with relative ease, as they were superior in every sense to the Iraqi army, and Kuwait was soon free again. Unfortunately, the country had a lot of damage done of the short living invasion and the war for its liberation.
