The American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were primarily triggered by the 9/11 attacks and the perceived threat of terrorism. The 9/11 attacks, carried out by the extremist group al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001, caused significant loss of life and had a profound impact on the United States. The U.S. government, under President George W. Bush, responded by launching the War on Terror, with a focus on eliminating al-Qaeda and its Taliban hosts in Afghanistan.

Iraq became a target due to concerns about weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and alleged ties between Iraq's government, led by Saddam Hussein, and terrorist organizations. However, the claim about WMDs turned out to be unfounded, and the Iraq War became a highly controversial and debated conflict.

Hurricane Katrina and the USSR's involvement are not directly related to the causes of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
