The war in Afghanistan is considered the longest war in U.S. history due to its prolonged duration, beginning in October 2001 after the September 11 attacks and officially concluding in August 2021 with the U.S. withdrawal. Multiple factors contributed to this length, including ongoing insurgency from the Taliban, complex tribal dynamics, and challenges in nation-building efforts. Additionally, shifting strategies and fluctuating public support led to a protracted conflict that spanned nearly two decades.
