Surprisingly enough, most of the Iraq War occurred within the borders of Iraq, a country in the Middle East.

More specifically, though, the initial fighting to topple Saddam Hussein was primarily concentrated in the southeast of the country in the Shatt Al-Arab and the Shiite Holy Region (Karbala, An-Najaf, and the nearby regions), terminating with the entry to Baghdad. The majority of the fighting against the militant factions (Mujahidin, Fedayeen, Sadr's Militia et al.) occurred in what is colloquially called the "Sunni Triangle" which had vertices at the cities of Baghdad, Fallujah, and Ba'aquba. There was scattered fighting outside of this area in the southern area of the Kurdish Region in Northern Iraq and in the Western Anbar Province.
