    The Iraq War began in 2003 when President Bush ordered a US ground invasion of Iraq due to suspicions that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. US forces took control of Baghdad in April 2003, ending Hussein's rule, and Hussein was captured in December 2003 after months in hiding. Iraq held its first free election in 50 years in January 2005 while Hussein went on trial for past crimes and was ultimately executed in December 2006. US troops began withdrawing in 2008 and completed their withdrawal from Iraq by December 2011, ending major military involvement in the 8-year war.
