| dc.description.abstract | The Iraq War and its catastrophes were perhaps the most engaging issues of its time. The initial elation of early victories were short-lived, as the nation became the epicenter of global chaos just three years later. Iraq became a worldwide symbol of international turmoil, and America lost its title to being the world’s peacekeepers. The question remains, how did the Iraq War end in such a blunder? Americans, Iraqis, and other bystanders have pondered over this matter since the war’ end in 2011. Through analyzing Iraqi experiences, interviews of American soldiers, and the plethora of documents pertaining to United States leadership in Iraq, the answer to this precipitous question has become apparent. American officials’ gross misinterpretation of the nature of the Iraq War overlooked the crucial keys to stabilizing the nation. As a result, Iraq rapidly spiraled out of control as the American occupation failed to keep the peace. | en_US |
