Question 19 • TX-US History Studies Since 1877 B-Credit Recovery Summer School
Baghdad fell to US-led forces in April 2003, only a few weeks after the invasion began. Saddam Hussein did not escape the country; he was captured later that year, and the search did not find the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction cited as a reason for the invasion. The Taliban gained strength in Afghanistan, not Iraq. The correct choice is “the capital city of Baghdad fell quickly.”
