Question

C. The United States eliminated Iraq's dictator but created resentment among many Muslims.
D. The United States destroyed Iraq's weapons of mass destruction but failed to occupy the country.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The invasion of Iraq, which occurred between March 20 and May 1, 2003, was carried out by a coalition of countries, led by the United States along with the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland. Other countries were involved in the occupation phase. The invasion marked the beginning of the war in Iraq.

The invasion of Iraq caused a political fracture between the great powers, which were divided between those who actively opposed the invasion, such as France, Belgium, Germany, Russia, China (as well as other countries that showed a passive opposition), and those that did publicly support the United States, as was the case in the United Kingdom, Spain, Poland, Portugal and other nations that made up the coalition. The invasion (and consequently the war) also caused the first global civic manifestation in history against a conflict.

Answer 2

From the provided answers, the most true answer would be that the United States eliminated Iraq's dictator but created resentment among many muslims - C.

Today, Iraq is a hotbed of arguing and assassinations beween the two prevalent muslim groups which are at each other throats.
