The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and its consequences

The term 'Islamic State' has become firmly entrenched in people's minds. But where did this terrorist organisation come from, what does Al-Qaeda have to do with it, and what role did the United States play? A concise historical review - from the end of the First World War to the storming of Mosul in 2014 - provides answers to these questions. However, this does not require a superfluous flood of facts and figures, but rather a 'common thread' described as simply as possible, which presents a complex topic in an understandable way.

The term 'Islamic State' has become firmly entrenched in people's minds. But where did this terrorist organisation come from, what does Al-Qaeda have to do with it, and what role did the United States play? A concise historical review - from the end of the First World War to the storming of Mosul in 2014 - provides answers to these questions. However, this does not require a superfluous flood of facts and figures, but rather a 'common thread' described as simply as possible, which presents a complex topic in an understandable way.
