The U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 began on March 20, as part of a broader campaign to eliminate Saddam Hussein's regime, which the U.S. government accused of possessing weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and having links to terrorism. Despite the swift military success and the toppling of Hussein, no WMDs were found, leading to significant controversy and debate over the justification for the invasion. The subsequent occupation faced resistance and resulted in prolonged conflict, instability, and a humanitarian crisis in Iraq. The war fundamentally reshaped the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and had lasting implications for U.S. foreign policy.
