Answer

If 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.
