       The Invasion of Kuwait, also known as the Iraq–Kuwait War, was a major conflict between Ba'athist Iraq and the Emirate of Kuwait, which resulted in the seven-month-long Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, and subsequently led to direct military intervention by US-led forces Supported by 34 countries in the Gulf War and the setting alight by Iraq of 600 Kuwaiti oil wells.
In 1990 Iraq accused Kuwait of stealing Iraqi petroleum through slant drilling, although some Iraqi sources indicated Saddam Hussein's decision to attack Kuwait was made a few months before the actual invasion. 

    Some feel there were several reasons for the Iraqi move,
1)including Iraq's inability to pay more than US$80 billion that had been borrowed to finance the Iran–Iraq war, and
2) Kuwaiti overproduction of petroleum which kept revenues down for Iraq.
