The Global War on Terrorism refers to the international military campaign launched after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. This campaign aims to eliminate terrorist groups, particularly Al-Qaeda and its affiliates, and to prevent future attacks. Countries around the world have participated in various operations to combat terrorism, focusing on intelligence sharing, military action, and counter-radicalization efforts. The conflict has led to significant military engagements, notably in Afghanistan and Iraq, where coalition forces sought to dismantle terrorist networks and stabilize regions. The Global War on Terrorism has also sparked debates about security, civil liberties, and the effectiveness of military intervention in addressing the root causes of terrorism.
