In 1917 - The king of Afghanistan, Amanullah, signed a treaty with Lenin to declare his countries full independence. And also declared a British war . Britain first resisted this but then came apparent and just went along with Afghanistan’s independence.
In 1973 - The king was removed forcibly from power and a republic was declared by a prominent member of his own family, Daoud, who thought of a socialist government, winning the support of the USSR. The USSR stands for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Going along with traditional ideas and thoughts, Islamic leaders and other ethnic leaders of mainly Pashtuns formed the Mujahedeen and began to raise peoples attention to put an end to this, armed.
The Iraq war officially started on the 20th March 2003, under the US government and administration of President George W. Bush and the British Minister Tony Blair. US cruise missiles and bombs were dropped on Iraq's capital city, Baghdad. They were targeting Saddam Hussein, his sons, key members of his leadership and government buildings. Key battles followed in the Iraqi towns of Umm Qasr, Basra, Nasiriya and Karbala. US military officials admitted the Iraqi resistance was stronger than they had expected, but they slowly moved towards Baghdad. Britain is one of 26 countries which make up the multi-national force in Iraq. It has the second-largest representation in the country - after the U.S.
1,304,486,066,752 was spent on the iraq war 397 british troops have been killed The war started in 2003 because they thought iraq had weapons Weapons of Mass Destruction . it was named ‘Operation Desert Fox’; a US and UK bombing campaign to destroy Iraq’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programme. This was followed in 1999 by a UN resolution to replace UNSCOM which was rejected by Iraq, and further US and UK bombings in 2001 to try to disable Iraq’s air defence network. Public awareness of the issue was raised after President George W Bush listed Iraq in his ‘axis of evil’ Repeated negotiations over Iraqi cooperation with UN weapons inspections teams were to follow before UNMOVIC were able to begin inspecting sites in November 2002. In March 2003 the US and Britain called on the Security Council to authorise military action against Iraq, but were met with stiff opposition from France, Russia, Germany and several Arab countries. Despite this, on 17 march President Bush gave Saddam and his sons 48 hours to leave Iraq or face war. Saddam did not comply and the invasion began on 19 March .It cost 6.5 billion dollars a month
The US led invasion of 2003 because of suspicion of lethal weaponry sparked a violent insurgency that has deepened ethnic, tribal and sectarian divisions. Although there has been a reduction in violence since 2007, the security conditions remain difficult. The continuing violence has hampered reconstruction efforts and despite sitting on some of the world’s largest oil reserves, Iraq is only the world’s 11th largest producer of oil. Corruption and oil smuggling, as well as long-term economic problems, have also hindered the country’s development and millions lack clean drinking water and are reliant on food aid. Despite these, and numerous other challenges, there is hope for Iraq’s civil society, with many encouraged by the country’s recent NGO law. Whilst the 2011 elections were relatively peaceful no party won enough votes for an overall majority in parliament. It took eight months of negotiations to form a power-sharing government.
The War on Afghanistan officially began in 2001, following the September 11 attacks on the US. The armed forces from America and United Kingdom joined forces to bring down the Al-Qaeda group. The mission to attack Afghanistan came after the attack on the World Trade Center. The objective of the US Army was to bring down the Taliban regime and to create a proper democratic state. The lives of nearly three thousand American civilians were taken away in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The United States identified the attackers as members of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group based out of Afghanistan. The first goal of the US Army was to bring down the Taliban in Kabul. The US and British Forces joined forces and brought down the Taliban in Kabul and from most parts of the Afghanistan region. All this was done in a matter of weeks from the initial invasion of Afghanistan. Some of the Taliban officials fled to places in Pakistan and hid in underground tunnels. The leader of the Al-Qaeda group, who was Bin Laden, was the world’s most wanted man. US Officials spent thirteen years trying to bring down Bin Laden, and they finally succeeded in 2011, as they killed Bin Laden in his hide out. The main goal of the mission was to bring down Bin Laden. May of 2011 was the big year as the Obama administration succeeded in killing off Bin Laden. When the invasion took place in 2001, the objective was to bring to trail, all the leaders of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group. Throughout the years, Afghan President, Hamid Karzai has talked with world leaders about bringing peace between the government and the Taliban groups. However, this has not yet been established. There continues to be several car bombings, killings and ambushes taking place throughout the country. The US cost for the war has gone well over its expectations and it still continues to grow. The cost is one of the reasons why US has declared to bring back most of the troops in 2011. The Afghanistan War costs the US government about six and a half billion dollars a month, which is definitely an increase from previous years. Under the Obama administration, it has been confirmed that by the end of 2011, a total of ten thousand US troops would be pulled back from the war. This would bring down the expenditure by a whole lot. During the September attack, four commercial airlines flights were hijacked and two were directed at the Twin Towers. Another one was hit in the Pentagon in Arlington. The last flight was headed for the White House, but the passengers and flight officials attempted to reroute the flight. There were no survivors from any of the flights that were hijacked. This is what led to the massive invasion of Afghanistan. Today, many people are relieved that the Al-Qaeda leader is killed. Even though US officials are on Afghan soil, there are attacks that take place.
The Iraq War, or the War in Iraq was a conflict that occurred in Iraq from March 20, 2003 to December 18, 2011, though sectarian violence continues since and caused hundreds of fatalities. Prior to the war, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom claimed that Iraq's alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction posed a threat to their security and that of their coalition/regional allies.

US troops led the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, in coalition with the UK and other nations.
ReplyDeleteThe numbers of US "boots on the ground" have mostly fluctuated between 100-150,000 apart from the period of the "surge" in 2007.
This was President George W Bush's drive to improve security in the country, especially in the capital Baghdad, by sending in 30,000 extra troops.
