The German occupation of Europe and their threat to invade Britain is what led to D-Day.

A few months. It is said that the Iraq War started on March 20, 2003 but that was the date when America declared they were going to invade Iraq. But in preparation for the attack,100,000 troops were moved to Kuait by Febuary 18th.
AnswerIf you mean the current offensive campaign, it started on March 19, 2003.Some believe the 2003 campaign traces it roots back to the Gulf War in the early 90s and is often considered the inevitable conclusion of the coalition forces decision not to remove Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, from power at the time.Iraqi forces violently invaded the country of Kuwait in August of 2000. After 7 months of intense fighting and alleged atrocities committed by Iraqi forces, the United States responded to the Kuwaiti request for military intervention and led a multi-nation coalition.Another perspective with a great deal of support is the Bush administration in 2003 used the false argument of Iraq possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction to invade in the hopes of creating a puppet government in Iraq which would favor U.S. oil interest.
The US argued that it believed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction that they were not letting UN inspectors view. To prevent Iraq from using those weapons, an invasion was necessary.Whether or not that was the actual reason for the invasion is subject to controversy.
The USA.
Australia didn't invade on her own. They did however support the US- led invasion in various roles. Australia sent a small number of troops to support the US and British forces along with Poland and Denmark. This is because of the strong ties Australia has to the US especially in military terms. The ongoing ANZUS Treaty is part of this.
Iraq is a country in middle East. It is divided on very deep rooted ethnic and sectarian lines. Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it was ruled by Saddam Hussein. Under Saddam's autocratic rule these sectarian and ethnic divides were not very prominent. However, US invasion and subsequent failure to control situation has led to rise of ISIS in the country which is threatening regional peace.
