The country that Iraq invaded to trigger the crisis that resulted in the Persian gulf war was Kuwait.
In reaction to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait, a coalition of 35 nations led by the United States launched a Gulf war against Iraq. On August 2, 1990, the Iraqi force invaded the neighbouring State of Kuwait and captured it completely two days later.
Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, also known as the Gulf War (1990–91), led to an international battle known as the Persian Gulf War.
The invasion and occupation of Kuwait were put into motion by Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, with the ostensible goals of obtaining Kuwait's substantial oil reserves, paying off a sizable debt Kuwait owed Iraq, and consolidating Iraqi dominance in the area.
The U.S.-led reaction to the first significant international crisis of the post-Cold War era would establish crucial precedents for the use of military force during the following decades.
