The small oil-rich country of Kuwait, historically part of the Ottoman Empire, was invaded by Iraq on August 2, 1990. Kuwaiti forces retreated to neighboring Saudi Arabia and appealed to the UN for help. President George H. W. Bush ordered the deployment of massive military forces along the Saudi border with Kuwait, supported by a coalition of more than a dozen other nations. Between January 17 and February 28, 1991, combat operations in Operation Desert Storm routed the Iraqi army and sent it fleeing back to Iraq. In the retreat, many Kuwaiti oil wells were set ablaze.
