Name one U.S. military conflict after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

After the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. launched a long campaign to prevent terrorism and target groups like al-Qaeda. People often use this name to describe the broader U.S. efforts in places like Afghanistan and other countries over many years.

After the September 11 attacks, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan to fight al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power for supporting them. This conflict began in 2001 and lasted for many years, making it one of the longest U.S. wars.

The War in Iraq began in 2003, when the United States led an invasion to remove Saddam Hussein from power. It is often discussed as part of the broader “War on Terror” era that followed the September 11 attacks. Many U.S. troops served there for years, and it had a major impact on U.S. foreign policy.
