IrakKonflikten

The Iraq War, also known as the Iraq Conflict, was a major military campaign waged by a coalition of countries led by the United States, with the support of the United Nations, against Iraq. The conflict began in March 2003, following the United Nations' resolution authorizing military action against Iraq for its alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction and ties to terrorism. The war resulted in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime and the establishment of a provisional government.

The coalition forces, primarily from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, faced significant resistance from Iraqi forces and insurgents. The conflict was marked by intense urban warfare, particularly in Baghdad, and saw the use of heavy artillery and air power. The war ended in December 2011, with the withdrawal of the last U.S. troops, although the country has since experienced ongoing violence and instability.

The aftermath of the war has been characterized by efforts to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure and establish a stable government. However, the country continues to face challenges such as sectarian violence, corruption, and economic instability. The conflict has had significant impacts on the region and the world, including the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the ongoing Syrian Civil War.
