What war started in 2004?

Answer 1

The Iraq War, also known as the Second Gulf War, began in 2003, not 2004, when the United States, along with coalition forces, invaded Iraq in March of that year. However, significant combat operations and the subsequent insurgency continued into 2004, leading to increased violence and instability in the region. The war was framed around the U.S. government's claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a threat to global security. The conflict had profound and lasting impacts on Iraq and broader Middle Eastern geopolitics.
