Über dieses E-Book

Iraq is located in the Middle East and is bordered by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Iraq has a complex history filled with wars and political instability. Iraq gained independence from Great Britain in 1932 and was ruled by a monarchy until 1958 when a military coup led to the establishment of a republic. The country has been led by a variety of different leaders, including Saddam Hussein who came into power in 1979. Hussein led Iraq into a war with Iran from 1980-1988 and later invaded Kuwait in 1990. This led to the Gulf War, which resulted in Iraq’s defeat and the imposition of heavy economic sanctions. In 2003, the United States led an invasion of Iraq and overthrew Hussein’s government. This led to a prolonged period of instability and violence which has continued up until the present day. Iraq’s population is primarily composed of Shiite Muslims with a significant minority of Sunni Muslims as well as Kurds who predominantly reside in the northern part of the country. Iraq has a rich cultural history, with a diverse mix of ancient civilizations, such as the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. The country is also home to many religious sites sacred to both Shia and Sunni Muslims including the cities of Najaf, Karbala, and Samarra. Despite the ongoing conflict and violence in the country, Iraq has made significant progress in recent years towards greater political stability and economic development. However, the country still faces many challenges, such as political corruption, sectarian violence, and the threat of terrorism.
