When did the Iraq and American war start?

Answer

If you mean the current offensive campaign, it started on March 19, 2003.

Some believe the 2003 campaign traces it roots back to the Gulf War in the early 90s and is often considered the inevitable conclusion of the coalition forces decision not to remove Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, from power at the time.

Iraqi forces violently invaded the country of Kuwait in August of 2000. After 7 months of intense fighting and alleged atrocities committed by Iraqi forces, the United States responded to the Kuwaiti request for military intervention and led a multi-nation coalition.

Another perspective with a great deal of support is the Bush administration in 2003 used the false argument of Iraq possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction to invade in the hopes of creating a puppet government in Iraq which would favor U.S. oil interest.

When did Iraq become an independent kingdom?

This question is difficult to answer because the term "separate country" is nebulous. If the question is asking when was the first time that somebody picked up a map and drew the outline of Iraq on it and said, "I will name this territory Iraq", then the answer would be 1918 when the British and French were dividing up former Ottoman territories and Iraq was an oil-rich territory that the British wanted. If your question is about when Iraq declared independence as sovereign nation, then the answer would be 1923 because that is when Iraq was given independence from the United Kingdom. If your question is about when Iraq was finally out of the United Kingdom's sphere of influence and proceeded to make its own policies, the answer is 1954 when King Faisal II was assassinated in a car-bombing and the Ba'ath Party took control of Iraq.

Who colonized Iraq?

Officially, No, but many consider it to be because the power that the British exercised over Iraq during its mandate-period resembles colonization.

Officially, however, mandates were not colonies in that a mandate has the future purpose of becoming a realized independent state. A colony does not have such a purpose. The Mandate of Iraq was maintained from 1919 until 1921 when the British transferred authority to King Faisal I. However, the British interfered often with Iraqi policy and maintained boots on the ground until 1954.
