US Invasion of Iraq

The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a military campaign launched by the United States and its allies, claiming to remove Saddam Hussein’s government due to concerns over weapons of mass destruction and alleged links to terrorism. Despite limited evidence of such threats, the invasion resulted in rapid the overthrow of Saddam's regime. However, it also led to prolonged instability, violence, and the emergence of insurgent groups. The decision to invade was highly controversial, with debates about the justification, consequences, and the impact on regional and global security.
