Why did George Bush get involved in the Iraq-Kuwait affair?

George H.W. Bush became involved in the Iraq-Kuwait affair primarily to respond to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, which threatened regional stability and the global oil supply. The invasion was viewed as a blatant act of aggression, prompting Bush to build a broad international coalition to oppose Saddam Hussein. The U.S. aimed to protect Kuwait's sovereignty and ensure the security of oil resources vital to the world economy, leading to the Gulf War in early 1991.
