The Iraqi Revolution refers to a series of political changes in Iraq, particularly the events of July 14, 1958, when a military coup overthrew the monarchy led by King Faisal II. This revolution was driven by widespread dissatisfaction with the monarchy's ties to Western powers and social inequalities. The coup was led by Abdul Karim Qasim, who established a republic and aimed to implement reforms. Following the revolution, Iraq experienced significant political turmoil, including conflicts between various factions and the rise of Ba'ath Party in the 1960s. The revolution marked a turning point in Iraqi history, leading to a series of authoritarian regimes and ongoing struggles for power that shaped the country's future.
