Maurice Noble · Answer 1

The United States' role in the Persian Gulf War was to avoid a geopolitical oil crisis, as if Iraq had control of the Kuwait, Saddam Hussein (leader of Iraq) would have 20% of the world oil reserves. President Bush stated at the time that the U. S. stand to lose if Iraq had control of the reserves, and the decision was to invade Iraq with a 34-nation UN coalition and more than 500.000 american troops.
