Kuwait belonged to Iraq?

Answer 1

Yes, and Iraq itslef was artifically created with borders drawn by the British.

But culturally, Kuwait has always been a part of Mesopotamia/Iraq.

Answer 2

NO.
The history of Kuwait goes back to the year 1613 AD, The country was formed when several clans from different Middle Eastern tribes settled near the area now known as the "Kuwait Bay". The word Kuwait came from the small Kout (or castle) of Bin eree'er who was the prince of bani Khaled tribe. Tribes came mainly from central Arabia (specifically the region of Nejd), and northern Arabia. Today, Nejd is part of Saudi Arabia, while northern Arabia is divided between the modern states of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Iraq. However, some clans also came from other parts of the region, including Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt, to name a few.
The Al-Sabah family was chosen by the people of Kuwait. This process is known as "mubaya'a", which means "to give one's self" in Arabic. Before the Kuwaiti constitution was drafted, the Al-Sabah family ruled Kuwait in practice (de facto). Anyone else had the ability to be appointed as ruler of Kuwait, as long as the majority of citizens wanted them.

In the Anglo-Ottoman Convention of 1913, the British concurred with the Ottoman Empire in defining Kuwait as an "autonomous caza" of the Ottoman Empire and that the Shaikhs of Kuwait were not independent leaders, but rather qaimmaqams (provincial sub-governors) of the Ottoman government. After World War I, the Ottoman Empire was financially crippled and the invading British forces invalidated the Anglo-Ottoman Convention, declaring Kuwait to be an "independent sheikhdom under British protectorate."

so it is not part of Iraq..
