Answer:
Iraq is a country in Western Asia. It
became independent from British rule in 1932. Three decades later there was a
series of coups by military officers. Since 1968, it was ruled by Arab

key role in the 1968 coup that brought the party to power. This government

the President of Iraq in 1979, Saddam ran a dictatorial government and
suppressed any opposition to his rule. He was known to have got a number of
political opponents killed and persons of ethnic minority massacred.
