the persian gulf war began when iraq invaded what country?
kuwait
while in power, saddam hussein showed complete disregard for peace and security in the region. in 1980, iraq invaded iran and began the iran–iraq war, which lasted until 1988. during the war, hussein used chemical weapons on at least 10 occasions, including attacks against civilians. in 1990, iraq invaded kuwait and began the persian gulf war. after the ceasefire agreement was signed between saddam and the un in 1991, which suspended the hostilities of the gulf war, iraq repeatedly violated 16 different unsc resolutions from 1990 to 2002. the iraq survey group interviewed regime officials who stated hussein kept weapon scientists employed and planned to revive iraq's wmd program after the inspections were lifted, including nuclear weapons. under un resolution 1441, he was given a "final opportunity" to comply, and he again violated the resolution by submitting a false report to unmovic inspectors and continually preventing them from inspecting iraq's wmd sites.
