The US began fighting in Afghanistan in 2001

History

Answer:

The statement is true. The US began fighting in Afghanistan in 2001, after the terrorist attacks of September 11th.

Explanation:

After 9/11, the clues of those responsible for the terrorist attacks in New York led to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, headed by Osama Bin Laden. In 2001 Bin Laden was a refugee in Afghanistan, where there was a radical Islamist political regime by the Taliban. The Taliban came to power after the withdrawal of the invading army from the USSR in the late 1980s. The United States needed a strong military response to show the world its capacity to react to terrorist attacks on its territory.

In this previous context, the US initiated its actions against Afghanistan in October 2001. The Taliban regime refused to deliver Osama Bin Laden to the US, which led them to prepare a war to seize him even invading the country and overthrowing the Taliban regime.  

The military actions were quick and the US managed to overthrow the Taliban political regime and take the cities of Kabul and Kandahar in a month. In November 2001, the US considered that it had won the war. But his real objective, to capture Osama Bin Laden, had failed. Bin Laden and part of the Al Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan first fled to the mountains on the border with Pakistan (which are difficult to access militarily) and later camouflaged themselves within the population of Pakistan. Despite the political fall of the Taliban within the government of Afghanistan, they continued to dominate some territories and did not stop fighting against US military troops.

What ultimately led to the failure of communism?
Black_prince [1.1K]
Communism failed to provide incentives for workers and citizens to work hard and be productive. While there are many benefits from equality, if pushed to an extreme it robs people of an incentive to make an effort. There was little if any reward for hard work or innovation and a lack of punishment for poor or inefficient work. The lack of incentives was a major reason for the poor performance of Eastern Europe economies.

Creon s argument that he is older and wiser than his son is an example of __________. ethos pathos logos harmatia
maria [59]

Croen's argument that he is older and wiser than his son is an example of ethos.

Ethos is when an argument is constructed based on the ethics or credibility of the person that is making an argument.  Ethos is in contrast to pathos, which appeals to emotions. Logos appears to logic or reason. Harmatia is something completely different and means when a fatal flaw leads to the downfall of a tragic hero.
