The Background of the Iraq War

The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Even during the Palestine-Israel conflict that has been the most sensitive issue all-around history, the reason for the war is to support the Jewish community of Palestine and Israel and to ensure an ally in the region due to the interest in oil in a particular region. Moreover, it is often said that this issue raised due to the suffering of Jews who suffered during World War II. A concept that has been built in the minds of the people is that whenever Israel policies criticize the activities of Palestine, or any other Arabs is due to anti-Semitic concerns.Similarly, for Afghan Jihad that occurred during 1980, the Soviets started a brutal war against Afghanistan. Apparently, the cause behind the war that the Soviets highlighted was due to corruption and terrorism. But, in reality, the reason behind the war was in order to get access to the Indian Ocean for military training and to get control over natural resources of the region.All through history, it is apparent that Iraq has its own significance. It has been the center of attraction all around the world because of its geography and resourcefulness. It has its certain importance in history because It has been the main hub for providing the most essential resource all across the world such as oil and petroleum. It has been invaded several times by different nations of the world but one of the most atrocious wars that occurred in the history of Iraq was when America led invasion on Iraq in 2003.This war began after the telecast of the speech addressed by President Bush, where he gave a 48- hour ultimatum to the president of Iraq named Saddam Hussein to either leave the country or face the military conflict. On March 19, America started the actual war by striking the location where President Saddam and the top lieutenants of the country were expected to meet. One of the main reasons behind the war was the terrorist attacks on America on September 11, 2001, because of the Bush Administration suspected Iraq for having access to massive destructive weapons that could have caused mass destruction.
