Answer 1

The correct sequence of events leading to the formation of ISIS is: Islamic revolution in Iran, al-Qaeda formation, September 11 attacks, passing of the Patriot Act, US invasion of Iraq, execution of Saddam Hussein, and the emergence of ISIS.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events that came before the formation of ISIS can be arranged in a specific sequence to understand the progression leading up to its rise. Al-Qaeda was formed by Osama bin Laden. Followed by turmoil in the Middle East with the Islamic revolution overthrowing the Shah of Iran, which set the stage for further conflict in the region. The tragedy of the September 11 attacks evidently led the United States to pass the Patriot Act and invade Iraq. The execution of Saddam Hussein by an Iraqi military court contributed to the power vacuum in Iraq. Finally, a group of Islamic militants emerged as a new force in the region, identifying themselves as ISIS.
