How did saddam Hussein’s occupation of Kuwait become an international crisis?

History

Answer: The First Gulf War.

Explanation:

During the Iran-Iraq War, Kuwait financially assisted the Saddam Hussein regime with about $ 60 million. After the war ended, Iraq did not repay the debt. Iraq accused Kuwait of abusing standard oil fields and attacked Kuwait in August 1990. The Kuwaiti government fled to Saudi Arabia, and the Iraqi plundered this vibrant country. This invasion of Kuwait has provoked an international backlash. Saddam Hussein ignored UN warnings to withdraw from Kuwait.

Further sanctions implied the termination of all relations with Iraq, but the occupation continued. The UN then decided to respond by force. Coalition forces led by the US, Canada, Turkey and several other countries have attacked the Iraqi army. After the bombing, a ground offensive was launched. In a relatively short period, Iraqi forces were expelled from Kuwait, and retreating Iraqis destroyed about 700 oil sources. In the Gulf War, allied forces lost some 400 soldiers, while Iraqi casualties numbered about 20,000.
