Detailed explanation-1: -What incident triggered the Persian Gulf War? The Persian Gulf War, also called Gulf War (1990–91), was an international conflict triggered by Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cause of the Gulf War is commonly considered as being a reaction to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. And ultimately, it was this that prompted international condemnation at the UN, the consequential Resolutions that provided the pathway to war.
Detailed explanation-3: -Iraq blamed Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates for the price drop, claiming that it was caused by the overproduction of crude oil by those countries in disregard of the national production quota set for them by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Gulf War, which lasted from August 1990 to February 1991, was a global conflict that began when Iraq’s dictator Saddam Hussain attacked neighbouring Kuwait, declaring it as its “19th province.” Following Hussain’s defiance of UN warnings, the US and its partners compelled Iraqi forces to withdraw from Kuwait.
