The war in Afghanistan began in 2001 as a response to the September 11 terrorist attacks carried out by al-Qaeda, which was based in Afghanistan and protected by the Taliban regime. The U.S. sought to dismantle al-Qaeda's infrastructure and remove the Taliban from power to prevent further terrorist activities. The invasion aimed to establish a stable government and promote democratic governance, leading to a prolonged military engagement in the region.
