Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait primarily to acquire its large oil reserves and cancel a large debt Iraq owed to Kuwait. He also sought to expand Iraqi power in the region and address grievances related to oil production quotas and alleged oil theft.
And having asked what's the topic question, I also ask at the same time : What then caused the Iran vs Iraq war?
Could that have been a western false flag op? Having 2 neighbors fight eachother tooth and nail to weaken them both?
Did we end up in this spiral of death due to American desires to keep selling truckloads, trainloads, of the latest weaponry, around the world?
WHY ARE WE IN THIS WAR AGAINST CHINA?! THAT WAS TRUMP!!!
Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait primarily to acquire its large oil reserves and cancel a large debt Iraq owed to Kuwait. He also sought to expand Iraqi power in the region and address grievances related to oil production quotas and alleged oil theft.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Economic Motives:
Iraq, heavily indebted after the Iran-Iraq War, viewed Kuwait's oil wealth as a solution to its financial problems.
- Debt Cancellation:
Saddam Hussein demanded that Kuwait write off Iraq's war debts, claiming Iraq had protected the region's Sunni monarchies from Iranian expansionism, which was a justification for the debt.
- Oil Disputes:
Saddam Hussein accused Kuwait of overproducing oil, which depressed prices and hurt Iraq's oil revenues. He also alleged that Kuwait was stealing oil from the Rumaila oil field, which straddled the border.

Iraq had long-standing claims to Kuwait, viewing it as historically part of Iraq.
