Answer: The Gulf War began with Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gulf War was fought from August 1990 to February 1991. It was a conflict between an international coalition led by the United States and its allies (France, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia) on the one hand and Iraq on the other. Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein, carried out aggression on Kuwait to control the country's oil wealth. After the international community tried to resolve the dispute through diplomacy, Iraq did not give up on its goals. The United States then launched attacks with its allies from Saudi Arabia. The technologically more advanced allies destroyed a vast number of Saddam Hussein's troops in a relatively short time, after which the Iraqis withdrew.
