IS then ISIL was formed in Iraq by some of Sadam's generals, when US and the allies invaded a lot of his top generals went deep underground and later some of them wanted to be reincorporated into the new Iraqi forces, US denied that request which in turn resulted in them forming ISIL. Later when the war broke off in Syria they saw the opportunity to use the instability and go there as well, which started the Syrian chapter.
In Iraq they were mostly dormant and preparing for the moment when the US troops will leave, this is why the shit hit the fan then.
Historically it's the same old scheme, the west wants to exploit some country so they, invade, topple the government or install a puppet dictator which pretty much always ends up backfiring, but hey learning from your past mistakes is for suckers! This same thing happened over and over again during the last century, this is how Idi Amin came to be in Uganda, why there is rampant corruption in central african countries or why Iran is the way it is (and the entire middle east as well), look up the history of the 19th century omitting the world wars and focusing on everything else that have happened and you'll see what I'm talking about.
