President George W. Bush's 'Axis of Evil' Speech
On January 29, 2002, during his State of the Union address, U.S. President George W. Bush famously described Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as an 'axis of evil.'
This statement marked a significant moment in U.S. foreign policy, signaling a strong stance against these countries due to their alleged support for terrorism and pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
Bush's characterization of these nations as an 'axis of evil' generated considerable debate and controversy, both domestically and internationally, shaping the geopolitical landscape in the early 21st century.
