An Iraqi Insurgency started after the 2003 American invasion and the removal of Saddam Husayn from power. The insurgency lasted until the end of the Iraq War which caused another Iraqi Insurgency which lasted from 2011-2013. The insurgency was diverse with different sects and religions that would normally be enemies fighting against the US forces together.[11] However this alliance later broke apart and later caused a civil war in Iraq.[12][13]
