Answer:

The Gulf War was the result of the aggression of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who tried to take over Kuwait in August 1990.

Step-by-step explanation:

Coalition forces first gathered in Saudi Arabia to protect the oil-rich country from Iraqi aggression; then used air and ground strikes to push Iraq forces out of Kuwait in early 1991.
