1990: Iraq's Declaration of Kuwait
On August 4, 1990, a puppet "Republic of Kuwait" was proclaimed under the leadership of Alaa Hussein during Iraq's occupation of Kuwait, serving as a political cover to justify control. However, it lasted for no more than four days, after which Kuwait was officially merged into Iraq. This maneuver was not recognized by Kuwait or the international community and led to an international embargo and death sentences issued against Alaa Hussein on charges of treason. He was later re-arrested, and his sentence was reduced to life imprisonment.
