Kuwait is a sovereign state in Western Asia located at the head of the Persian Gulf. The geographical region of Kuwait has been occupied by humans since antiquity, particularly due to its strategic location at the head of the Persian Gulf.[1][2][3] In the pre-oil era, Kuwait was a regional trade port.[4][5][6] In the modern era, Kuwait is best known for the Gulf War (1990–1991).
