Answer 1

After Saddam Hussein was removed from power in 2003, the most immediate consequence was that civil war broke out between different ethnic and religious groups. This led to widespread violence and instability in the country as various factions vied for power and control. Other events such as the rise of ISIS and the refugee crisis developed later in the following years.
