Research Notes On The Invasion Of Kuwait 

Oil is in Kuwait - people want the oil so they invade to get the oil and Kuwait sell it and people buy it. 

July 1990 - Saddam Hussein a right wing dictator accuses Kuwait from stealing oil from Iraq's Rumaila oilfields. Saddam was Muslim , however, he didn't rule a Islamic state of government.

Saddam Hussein demanded a repayment of $2 Billion Dollars from the Kuwait Government and people. He blamed them for the over production of oil that had been made, the result of so much oil made the economy come down and the money for oil was reducing because it wasn't really in high demand because there was so much to give and buy, however, Kuwait refused to be threatened by Saddam Hussein.

The result of the Invasion of Kuwait in 8th of August 1991 was because there was too much oil in Europe , Saddam Hussein believed Kuwait was making the economy weak so he wanted them to pay money of billions and billions of pounds and Kuwait refused , therefore, Saddam Hussein decided to invade Kuwait because of their refusal. The Kuwait Government implied that they couldn't pay the full $10 Billion dollars that Saddam Hussein demanded but they could pay $9 Billion dollars and pay the remaining $1 Billions dollars later , however, The Iraq government were not satisfied, therefore, they decided that On the 2nd of August 1990, Iraq would launched a invasion by bombing Kuwait's Capital , named Kuwait city on The 8th of August 1991, resulting to the death of thousands of Kuwait's people and a up rising from its people against Iraq. Saddam Hussein decided to target the Highway between Kuwait and Iraq named "Highway 80", which was later used in the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq's forces in 1990 and the USA in 2003.

The President of America George.W.Bush decided to take no further action to prevent the invasion of Kuwait and on the 2nd of August 1990 Iraq forces attacked Kuwait by saying The Gulf War was about a "New World Order Of Peace" , however, George bush realised since American had a oil deal with Kuwait this affected america if no oil was being made, therefore, they didn't like what Saddam Hussein was doing , moreover, they went to the League of Nations to resolve their problem with Saddam Hussein because they were sort of "partners" with the country that Saddam Hussein ruled over as a dictator.

On the 22nd of January 1991, Iraqi troops began to blow up Kuwaits oil wells and they blew up a a coupe of the oil wells occupied by American and this made the American government annoyed and made them come to the defense of the Kuwait government as well as Iran's people. The American involvement in this Iran vs Iraq war began in the fourth year of the war, when there was a very high number of deaths on both sides, going from hundreds to thousands of men, moreover, The United states President believed American needs to get involved to bring peace,in addition to this, he believed that the war could come to the west of the world, therefore, he wanted to go to the war before the war came to him. Iraqi threw more wood into the fire by Iraqi forces capturing  20 year old Us Army Specialist Melissa Rathbun-Nealy and Army Specialist David Lockett, Melissa Rathbun-nealy was the first female U.S. Prisoner of war since World War 2 and the American people found out that their citizens were in troubled and demand the government to get theses people back safely straight way and supported the resistant task force of Kuwaits people against Iraqis troops, military and the Dictator Sudan Hussein.

The invasion of Kuwait became an international affair when the United Nations(UN) demanded for Iraq's forces to withdraw from Kuwait straight way, however, The UN treated Iraq saying that if Iraq didn't withdraw they forces, the UN will pass the bill named "OPERATION DESERT SHIELD". This meant that 250,000 USA troops would march into Saudi Arabia if Iraq didn't meet the withdrawal deadline. This was a big deal because America was apart of the Coalition Forces, therefore, this meant that as well as Americas forces , there will be 45,000 British troops as well as Egyptian and Syrian forces with american, resulting into more than 295,000 troops marching into Saudi Arabia.
