Answer:

Saddam Hussein in 1990, accused Kuwait stealing Iraq oil through slant drilling from Kuwaiti oilfields and for the oil prices which were declining and affecting the economy of Iraq. Hussein declares Iraq's invasion of Kuwait because he needed to control over the oil reserve in Kuwait. Kuwait, one of the world's major oil producers, by invading it, he tried to control the oil market.
