Best Answer

The start of the Persian Gulf War was when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990. He invaded Kuwait mostly because he wanted the oil. The United Nations put sanctions on Iraq, but Saddam went on until the United States and a few other countries invaded. On February 28, 1991, Iraq retreated.

Iraq invaded Kuwait and Saddam Hussein threatened an invasion of Saudi Arabia. If Saddam had control over these two countries, he would damage the greatest oil states by increasing price of oil.
