สงครามอิรัก

Also known as Operation Iraqi Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, Invasion of Iraq, Iraq Invasion, Occupation of Iraq, War in Iraq, Second Gulf War, Gulf War II

The Iraq War, also referred to as the Second Gulf War, was a protracted armed conflict in Iraq from 2003 to 2011. It began with the invasion by a United States–led coalition, which resulted in the overthrow of the Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein. During the US occupation of Iraq, the conflict persisted as an insurgency that arose against coalition forces and the newly established Iraqi government. US forces were officially withdrawn in 2011. In 2014, the US became re-engaged in Iraq, leading a new coalition under Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve, as the conflict evolved into the ongoing Islamic State insurgency.

AI overview

The Iraq War was an armed conflict that began in 2003 when the United States and allied forces invaded Iraq, overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein, and then faced years of insurgent opposition before officially withdrawing in 2011. It matters because it was a prolonged conflict that shaped Middle Eastern geopolitics, resulted in significant casualties and costs, and led to ongoing regional instability, including the later rise of the Islamic State group that drew the U.S. back into military involvement in 2014.
