Why did Saddam Hussein use weapons of mass destruction against Kurdish people and pellete Muslims? They started a turf war within Iraq’s borders. They sided with Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War. They plotted to give control of Iraq to Saudi Arabia. They rebelled against Saddam Hussein’s rule.
The Persian Gulf War (1991) was caused by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on 2 August 1990, and had two major phases.The first phase was Operation Desert Shield—a largely defensive operation in which the United States and Saudi Arabia rushed to build up the defensive forces necessary to protect Saudi Arabia and the rest of the gulf, and the United Nations attempted to force Iraq to leave Kuwait through the use of economic sanctions. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O126-ThePersianGulfWar.html
