Abstract
Researchers in political and historical affairs almost agree that the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait did not come out of nowhere, but was the result of many local, regional and international factors, and concerns the political, economic, social and historical aspects, as the Iraq-Iran war left many repercussions, which made Iraq burdened with external debts, resulting in economic stagnation and a state of general frustration that exacerbated the situation, as a result of the cessation of Western cooperation and the interruption of financial support from the Gulf States, which coincided with a number of international circumstances that prevailed in the world, which ultimately led to increased tension in Iraqi-Kuwaiti relations, which led to an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, which prompted the UN Security Council to issue many resolutions in this regard.
