==Background==
Main article: Operation Inherent Resolve
Since 2014, the United States of America had engaged in military operations against the Islamic State, in an operation codenamed Operation Inherent Resolve. Unfortunately, they did nothing to weaken the Islamic State. Unsatisfied with the results of airstrikes against the Islamic State, the United States decided to formally declare war on the terrorist empire. This further escalated the War against the Islamic State, and helped to start World War III.
