- Abstract
Great Britain's participation in the Iraq War starting in 2003 is one of the most controversial events in recent British history and has strongly shaped the assessment of Tony Blair's premiership. Questions, what were the reasons and aims which motivated the British Government at the time to decide upon a course of full support of this war initiated by the United States, have not been fully explained to date. Sources now available indicate that very early on London decided to join the war and that the Government misled the public about its motives. The way in which the war was ultimately pushed through diplomatically and justified publicly has shaped the perspective on the war more decisively than it was long assumed.
