What happened during this conflict?The war contained three stages of strategies. The first consisted of causing the Taliban to collapse, and this succeeded initially, but as the Taliban rebuilt itself, step two was put into place. This step was to completely defeat the Taliban army and lastly they reformed the American army and protect the U.S. from future terrorism.
