At age 20 he joined the Ba-ath party. They tried to assassinate Iraq's president and he escaped to Syria where he practiced law. ]]> 2019-03-24 19:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kcorgliano00/8r9wzxp7btsi/wish/344596194 kcorgliano00 https://padlet.com/kcorgliano00/8r9wzxp7btsi/wish/344599224 In 1963, the government in Iraq was overthrown in the Ramadan Revolution. Saddam returned to Iraq but, was arrested for violence with the Ba-ath Party. In prison he remained involved in politics and his party ended up taking over the presidency of Iraq. Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr became the president and Saddam was his deputy. Saddam proved himself modernizing Iraq's infrastructure, industry, and health-care system, and raised social services, education, and farming subsidies to levels unparalleled in other Arab countries in the region. al- Bakr wanted to unite Syria and Iraq which would've left Saddam powerless so he forced him to resign. Saddam started to focus on Kuwait and created a war between them.  In 1993, when Iraqi forces violated a no-fly zone imposed by the United Nations, the United States launched a damaging missile attack on Baghdad. In 1998, further violations of the no-fly zones and Iraq's alleged continuation of its weapons programs led to further missile strikes on Iraq which would occur intermittently until February 2001.

The same year that Saddam ascended to the presidency, Ayatollah Khomeini led a successful Islamic revolution in Iraq's neighbor to the northeast, Iran. This resulted in Iraq invading Iran. The Gulf War's resulting economic hardships further divided an already fractured Iraqi population. Iraq forces entered a no fly zone and the United States launched a missile at them which opened the door of violence between the United States and Iraq. Saddam executed government officials, terrorized the citizens of Iraq and made them a militant country. ]]> 2019-03-27 02:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kcorgliano00/8r9wzxp7btsi/wish/345528661 kcorgliano00 https://padlet.com/kcorgliano00/8r9wzxp7btsi/wish/345533337 Saddam was trying to create a union government but that quickly changed to become a power hungry leader. On December 13, 2003, Saddam was finally captured and awaited trial. December 30, 2006 he was hung and buried in his birthplace. ]]> 2019-03-27 03:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kcorgliano00/8r9wzxp7btsi/wish/345533337 kcorgliano00 https://padlet.com/kcorgliano00/8r9wzxp7btsi/wish/345534643 Saddam Hussein was a tyrant leader who made Iraq involved in wars and weapons more so then before and created a bag scenario for them. ]]> 2019-03-27 03:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kcorgliano00/8r9wzxp7btsi/wish/345534643
