Question 47 • Modern World History

What happened as a result of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003?

Answer
A
Iraq gave up the al-Qaeda members it had been harboring.
B
Osama bin Laden was forced into hiding and left al-Qaeda weakened.
C
Saddam Hussein was convicted of war crimes and executed.
D
Many countries joined the invasion and helped secure peace in Iraq.

Explanation

After the 2003 invasion, Saddam Hussein was captured, tried in an Iraqi court, convicted of crimes against humanity, and executed in 2006. Choice C describes that outcome, though the conviction was specifically for crimes against humanity rather than war crimes. The invasion did not make Iraq surrender al-Qaeda members it had been harboring, and it did not secure lasting peace.
