The September 11 attacks prompted immediate U.S. military action. In October 2001, the U.S. invaded Afghanistan to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban regime that sheltered them. In March 2003, the U.S. invaded Iraq, citing concerns about weapons of mass destruction and links to terrorism. These conflicts, collectively known as the War on Terror, reshaped American foreign policy and military operations for two decades.
