Fallujah Uprising

The Fallujah Uprising was a major conflict in 2004 during the Iraq War, where Iraqi insurgents, including former military and local fighters, revolted against U.S. and Iraqi government forces in the city of Fallujah. They aimed to resist occupation, control the city, and oppose the presence of foreign troops. The U.S. responded with intense military operations, leading to heavy fighting, significant destruction, and civilian casualties. The uprising highlighted the complexities of insurgency, local grievances, and challenges in stabilizing Iraq during the occupation.
