The American shock and awe bombing of Baghdad in 2003 was a demonstration of the overwhelming military power and advanced technology of the U.S. military. It aimed to quickly incapacitate the Iraqi government and military forces, instilling fear and showcasing the effectiveness of air power in modern warfare. This strategy was intended to minimize ground troop casualties and expedite the war's conclusion by rapidly dismantling the enemy's command structure. Ultimately, it reflected a broader strategy of psychological warfare, seeking to demoralize both Iraqi forces and the civilian population.
The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq began on March 20, 2003, and Baghdad was captured on April 9, 2003, taking just under three weeks.

The worst occupiers for Baghdad were arguably the Mongols in the 13th century, particularly under Hulagu Khan, who sacked the city in 1258. This invasion resulted in massive destruction, loss of life, and the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate, leading to a significant decline in Baghdad's cultural and economic significance. Additionally, the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 also had devastating consequences, resulting in widespread violence, instability, and a prolonged conflict that severely impacted the city's infrastructure and civilian life.
