Why did the United states launch military action against Taliban government of Afghanistan?

The United States launched military action against the Taliban government of Afghanistan in October 2001 in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, which were orchestrated by al-Qaeda, a group harbored by the Taliban. The U.S. aimed to dismantle al-Qaeda's network and remove the Taliban from power for providing sanctuary to terrorists. This military intervention was part of a broader effort to combat terrorism and promote stability in the region. Additionally, the U.S. sought to support the Afghan people in building a more democratic and secure society.
