Answer:
B) Iraq's leader Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait was an attempt to control the oil in the Persian Gulf.
Explanation:
Though it was known that the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had developed some chemical weapons and had used them against his own people, its stockpiles of forbidden weapons were not the main motivation for the First Gulf War of 1990-1991. His aggression and occupation of Kuwait and the geographical proximity of Saudi Arabia, the world´s largest oil producer, caused concerns that he might be attempting to gain control over vast reserves of oil in the Middle East, which would have given him enormous geopolitical influence.
