on Terror. The War on Terror is an international military campaign led by the United States and the United Kingdom with the support of other NATO and non-NATO countries. The campaign was started in 2001 with the US/UK invasion of Afghanistan in response to the September 11 attack. Since then, other operations have got started, the largest being the War in Iraq, beginning with a 2003 invasion. Originally, it was funded against al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations with the purpose to depose them. The phrase War on Terror was first used by former U.S. President George W. Bush and other higher U.S. officials to designate a global military, political, legal and ideological battle against organizations designated as terrorist and against the people who were accused of having a connection to them, offer them support or were presented as providing a threat to the U.S. or to the other countries. It was typically used paying particular attention on militant Islamists and al-Qaeda.
Even more disastrous was Mary's marriage in 1554 to Philip II, King of Spain, which was conducted at Winchester Cathedral rather than in London, owing to Philip's unpopularity. Although Philip was never crowned in England, important documents bore his signature and were issued in the name of the "King and Queen". There was opposition to his involvement in English affairs. One expression of this was the serious rebellion under the leadership of Sir Thomas Wyatt (the Younger) to depose Mary and put her half-sister, Elizabeth, later Elizabeth I, on the throne. Philip was an uncompromising Roman Catholic and unpopular in England. At his order, Mary joined in a war against France, with the result that Calais, the last relic of the English conquests won during the Hundred Years' War with France, was lost in 1558. Its loss upset her deeply: "When I am dead and opened, you shall find Calais lying in my heart", she is reported to have said.
