Abstract

The United States' aggression against Iraq raised many questions about the explanations for why the US aggression occurred against Iraq. The triggering factors for declaring war against Iraq were multifaceted, including political, economic, ideological, and strategic positions. This undergraduate thesis aims to find the factors that caused the aggression of the US military forces against Iraq as well as the US government policies toward Iraq which were based on various interests. This research uses the theory of realism in international relations that is based on the pursuit of national interests and national security. The research concluded that the US aggression against Iraq in 2003-2008 period was based on the interest of US hegemony in the Middle East.
