Eli5: how did America actually destabilize the Middle East in the Iraq war? What was done specifically that caused all of the chaos in the countries we were involved in?

Imagine what would happen if some country came and invaded California. It would destabilize the entirety of America even though it was just California that was invaded. Now imagine if they invaded Wyoming or something. No one would give a shit.
That is what happened with Iraq. Iraq was a player in the region so taking them out affected everyone else.
