Saddam Hussein was the President of Iraq from July 16, 1979, until April 9, 2003.
As vice president under his cousin, General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, Saddam tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces by creating repressive security forces and cementing his own authority over the apparatus of government.
Saddam led Iraq as head of the Ba'ath Party, practiced one-party rule, censorship, oppressed the Iraqi Turkmen and instigated violence against Iraq's Shia, Kurdish, and Marsh Arab populations. He also espoused secular pan-Arabism, economic modernization and Arab socialism.
Saddam tried to build Iraq into a regional power. Under Saddam, Iraq fought Iran (1980–1988) and invaded Kuwait in 1990 leading to the Gulf War in 1991. Suspicion among United States and United Kingdom government members (in a political climate affected by 9/11) that Saddam was attempting to build weapons of mass destruction ultimately led to his downfall. Saddam's government collapsed as a result of the 2003 invasion of Iraq led by the United States, and he was captured by American forces on December 13, 2003. On November 5, 2006, he was convicted of crimes against humanity by the Iraq Special Tribunal and was sentenced to death by hanging.[4]
On December 26, Saddam's appeal was rejected and the death sentence upheld. He was hanged in front of lawyers, officials, and a doctor at approximately 06:00 Baghdad time (03:00 UTC) on December 30, 2006, according to Iraqi television.[5]
