Question 116 of 128

Name one U.S. military conflict after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Official USCIS answers

(Global) War on Terror
War in Afghanistan
War in Iraq

Why this is the answer

After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the U.S. began military actions abroad. The War in Afghanistan started in 2001, and the War in Iraq started in 2003. These are accepted answers because they are U.S. military conflicts after 9/11.

💡 Memory tip: Think: 9/11 → Afghanistan (2001), then Iraq (2003).
