Introduction
The Kuwaiti war was a result of ongoing economic warfare and allegations with a predetermined Iraqi Invasion since Iraq was unable to pay back the debt it had gained from Kuwait in order to finance its war against Iran. This led to a change in the Kuwaiti policy once the war was over in comparison to the policies that Kuwait held before the war.
Life in Kuwait before and after the war
Life in Kuwait was very pleasant as well as economically beneficial for the country before the Iraqi invasion and this is because Kuwait enjoyed mass production of oil barrels on a daily basis. The infrastructure was slowly improving within Kuwait and this was seen as a development of the country into the first world country status within a short period of time. However, after the war was over, Kuwait had lost a few of its oil wells, 737 in numbers, after Iraq had set these oil wells on fire according to their “scorched Earth” policy back in the day. Much of Kuwait’s infrastructure was damaged and needed rapid repairs so as to function properly again. The economy of the country was badly hampered but gradually rose yet again.

Evolution in Kuwait before and after the war
Kuwait had very different philosophies before the war. It saw Iran as a threat and decided to fund Iraq, seeing it as an ally and a method through which Kuwait thought that it would save itself from any kind of invasion. Kuwait also believed in mischievous economic warfare and implemented such warfare through various policies and methods so as to gain as much economic benefit as it could possibly garner. However, after Kuwait witnessed its invasion from its own considerable ally, it realized that funding anyone could portray large threat to the country instead. After the war, Kuwait reinstated its philosophies of economic warfare by reducing such activities to a minimum while increasing their economic worth at the same time, leading Kuwait to become the strongest economic nation in the world. It decided to use money on its interior problems such as infrastructure and general public services. It also aimed at making its army stronger so it wouldn’t need to depend on coalition forces or Western approach like it had to do so in the Gulf war.
Conclusion
Kuwait focused on reiterating economic and infrastructure strategies after the war while I improved the living standards within the country, stopped funding war efforts and started to invest on its own military personnel. Therefore, instead of being weakened by the invasion, Kuwait developed much faster and became stronger than it used to be.
