Why did the united states attack afghanistan in 2001?

History
1 answer:
densk [106]2 years ago

Answer:

In late 2001, the United States and its close allies invaded Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban government. The invasion's aims were to dismantle al-Qaeda, which had executed the September 11 attacks, and to deny it a safe base of operations in Afghanistan by removing the Taliban government from power. The United Kingdom was a key ally of the United States, offering support for military action from the start of preparations for the invasion. The invasion followed the Afghan Civil War's 1996–2001 phase between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance groups, which resulted in the Taliban controlling 80% of the country by 2001. The invasion became the first phase of a 20-year long war in the country and marked the beginning of the U.S. War on Terror.

Explanation:

Answer:

C. Osama bin Laden, aided by the Taliban, hid in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks.

Explanation:

The war in Afghanistan was a war that initially faced the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, ruled by the Taliban, and, once overthrown, its insurgency, on the one hand, and an international coalition commanded by the United States, for control of the Afghan territory, and that continues as War of Afghanistan (2015-present). It began on October 7, 2001 with the "Operation Enduring Freedom" of the US Army and "Operation Herrick" of British troops, launched to invade and occupy the Asian country. The invasion was unleashed in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States, of which this country blamed Osama bin Laden. To begin the invasion, the United States relied on a peculiar interpretation of Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, on the right to self-defense.

What were some of the major grievances Martin Luther had with the catholic church
hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Martin luther had proposed his 95 thesis to the catholic church. 

Which ended up getting him excommunicated by the pope. The 95 Thesis explained the true meanings of what the bible truly said, proving the pope to be a liar,cheat and wrong. The pope was telling the people that the way to getting into heaven was by paying the church, and paying money would clear them from their sins. Martin Luther began his 95 thesis conserning these rules. He began to change them into the correct wording. Meaning instead of lying to the people like the pope, Martin wrote the true words of God. One wrote "As long as you have faith in the lord, you are able to enter into the holly lands".

The phrase "chariot kingdoms became important naval powers to defend their coasts" sums up the situation following the Sea Peoples' assaults the best.

<h3>Was Egypt destroyed by the Sea Peoples?</h3>

During and before the Late Bronze Age collapse, the Sea Peoples, a fictitious seafaring confederation, are thought to have attacked ancient Egypt and other places in the East Mediterranean (1200–900 BCE).

<h3>The Sea People who assaulted Egypt were who?</h3>

This time, they are categorized as "foreign countries" in the inscription and are clearly identified as Sea Peoples: the Pele group, Trekker, Shekels, Deneen, and Washes. They set their camp at Amor and dispatched an army to the Nile. Once more, the pharaoh was standing by to greet them.

<h3>How did the sea people fare?</h3>

Just as mysteriously as they appeared, the Sea People of the Bronze Age vanished. There are no records of them anywhere after their defeat by the hands of Ramesses III in 1178 BC. Some people think they blended with the existing society.
