In August of 1990. Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq, ordered his army to cross the border into little Kuwait. Kuwait was a major supplier of oil to the United States. The Iraqi takeover posed an immediate threat to neighboring Saudi Arabia, another major oil exporter.

In the last months of 1990, the United States participated in the defense of Saudi Arabia in a deployment known as Operation Desert Shield. More than 500,000 US troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia in the event of an Iraqi attack on the Saudis.

What resulted in Operation Desert Shield becoming Operation Desert Storm, where the invasion and subsequent refusal of Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait within a period established by the United Nations, led to military intervention by an authorized coalition of forces by the United Nations led by the United States .

The correct answer is B: The invasion of Kuwait by the leader of Saddam Hussein in Iraq was an attempt to control oil in the Persian Gulf.
