The fall of the Taliban in 2001 was primarily triggered by the U.S.-led invasion following the September 11 terrorist attacks. The Taliban's refusal to surrender Osama bin Laden and dismantle al-Qaeda prompted military action, culminating in a swift offensive known as Operation Enduring Freedom. This campaign, combined with the support of the Northern Alliance and widespread discontent among the Afghan populace, led to the rapid collapse of Taliban control over Afghanistan. By December 2001, the Taliban regime had effectively been overthrown.
