In which year did the Invasion of Kuwait by Iraq occur?

The invasion of Kuwait by Iraq occurred in 1990 when the Iraqi military, led by Saddam Hussein, invaded and occupied Kuwait for approximately seven months. The primary reasons behind this invasion were Iraq's accusation that Kuwait was overproducing oil and its refusal to alleviate Iraq's massive debt resulting from the Iran-Iraq War. Additionally, Iraq sought to control Kuwait's vast oil reserves as it would have given them significant power over the global oil market.
