Second Gulf War

The Second Gulf War, also known as the Iraq War, began in 2003 when a coalition led by the United States invaded Iraq. The main justification was the belief that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a threat. The invasion quickly toppled Saddam Hussein's government. However, no weapons of mass destruction were found, leading to widespread controversy. The war resulted in long-term instability, violence, and significant civilian suffering. It also altered regional dynamics and had lasting global political implications, sparking ongoing debates about the reasons for and consequences of the conflict.
