Iraqi insurgency (2003-2011)
ongoing warfare in mainly central Iraq, which began after the 2003 invasion of Iraq
An Iraqi Insurgency started after the 2003 American invasion and the removal of Saddam Hussein from power. The insurgency lasted until the end of the Iraq War which caused another Iraqi Insurgency which lasted from 2011-2013. The insurgency was diverse with different sects and religions that would normally be enemies fighting against the US forces together.[11] However this alliance later broke apart and later caused a civil war in Iraq.[12][13]
