American-led invasion

The American-led invasion typically refers to military operations initiated by the United States and its allies to intervene in a conflict or overthrow a government. Notable examples include the invasion of Iraq in 2003, aimed at removing Saddam Hussein from power under the belief he possessed weapons of mass destruction. Such invasions often involve seeking to establish stability, promote democracy, or protect human rights but can also lead to prolonged conflict, humanitarian crises, and significant geopolitical consequences. The effectiveness and morality of these invasions are frequently debated in political and public discourse.
