The effect of the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq was the Persian Gulf War.

Explanation:

The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2nd 1990 immediately led to a call by the UN Security Council for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops and economic sanctions against Iraq. The United States also hastily began sending troops to the Gulf region (Operation Desert Shield), announcing the immediate task of the troops was to defend Saudi Arabia. When political pressure from the international community did not cause Saddam Hussein to withdraw Iraqi troops from Kuwait, the UN Security Council also allowed the use of force to expel the occupier from the country. Over the next few months, the United States assembled an alliance of 34 countries against Iraq and deployed a total of about 575,000 troops to the Gulf. On January 12, 1991, Congress authorized the president to use military force to drive Iraq out of Kuwait.
