The reason of how and why this all begun was because Saddam had accused Kuwait of lowering the price of oil for the world. He had also said that they were selling way to much so he decided to order an attack on August 2, 1990. After that occured it had all taken action within hours. The United States had also tried to convince Iraq from evacuating out of Kuwait. After they agreed to Embargo with Iraq. Then the U.S. and many other countries had sent 1,000 more of there troopers to Saudi Arabia to enforce the Embargo. After that happened the U.S had said if Iraq did not withdraw by January 15,1990 then they would use there power. Since they did not seem to have done anything about it. That is when the war started on January 15th of 1991.
