On September 11, 2001, an Islamist organization called al-Qaeda carried out terrorist attacks on U.S. soil that killed nearly 3,000 people. The United States determined that the Taliban, Afghanistan’s Islamist ruling group, was supporting al-Qaeda and sheltering its leaders. In October, forces led by the United States and the United Kingdom invaded Afghanistan and removed the Taliban from power. Two years later, the Second Persian Gulf War began when U.S. and U.K. forces invaded Iraq and overthrew the government of Saddam Hussein, who was accused of supporting terrorists and possessing weapons of mass destruction, a suspicion that was ultimately not proven true.
