Kuwait came to the world's attention in the summer of 1990, when Iraq invaded the tiny emirate. Though Kuwait was liberated within eight months, it took more than 10 years and $160 billion for the country to recover from the devastation caused by the Iraqui occupation.
The citizens of Kuwait are among the most prosperous in the world, thanks to the country's oil wealth.
