In 1990, Saddam Hussein's Iraq invaded its neighbor, Kuwait. Several months later an American-led military coalition waged a brief war to reverse the invasion.

In this video, we'll go very deep to explain the context, background, causes, political issues, and aftermath of this highly important conflict, and why it still matters.
