Abstract
By far and away the "War on Terror" is the longest war in American history. In Afghanistan, the primary center of gravity for the conflict, it has gone on for almost two decades and has cost the United States somewhere north of one trillion dollars and thousands of casualties. But it may soon be over. Given that the Trump Administration entered into a conditional "peace deal" with the Taliban in February 2020, which purports to culminate with a complete drawdown of the then 13,000 American forces in Afghanistan by May of 2021, it is certainly worthwhile to examine the chronology of the War on Terror in order to both appreciate and then to gauge the efficacy of the Trump peace deal. Indeed, the ultimate question is whether the U.S. will now end the War on Terror.
