Most of the economic embargo on Iraq continued after the war. There were also countries that enforced other sanctions such as no-fly zones. Iraq finally agreed to pay for some of the damages done to Kuwait. In 1998, Iraq blocked the inspectors, which then made the U.S and Britain to launch a four-day air attack. In response Iraq refused to follow inspection rules and threatened to fire at planes patrolling no-fly zones.

There were four main causes for the Iraqis to invade Kuwait. When Iraq invaded Kuwait a Coalition was formed against them, started by President George Bush. Many countries joined the Coalition to help out. The war started with air strikes and ended with ground troops. When Iraq was driven out of Kuwait they destroyed the country. After the war American Gulf War Vets were faced with the new Gulf War Syndrome and some casualties. The UN also had some problems to take care of with Iraq. Kuwait needed some rebuilding but remained an independent nation.
