Rise & Fall in Iraq - From Monarchs to Baathists Unveiled!
Table of content
Hey History Buffs! 🎉 Welcome to your super-duper awesome guide on the End of the Iraqi Monarchy in 1958 and the rise of the Baathists in 1968. Think of this as the "Netflix" of history notes - binge-worthy and super fun!
The Monarchial Iraq 🤴👑
Key Points
-
Economic Development: Yes, the monarchy helped grow the economy.
-
Education: A+! Education was improved, and illiteracy dropped.
-
Social Inequality: But, hold on! A few rich landowners held the power, leaving everyone else as landless peasants. 🤑💸
-
Foreign Control: Britain was like the schoolyard bully, dominating the Iraqi playground. Not cool, right?
Real-World Example
Imagine your school is run by only the rich and popular kids while everyone else gets left out. That’s kinda how it was. And let’s say those rich kids have a "special advisor" from another school who thinks they know it all. That’s Britain for you.
The Change is Coming (1952 Agreement and Resentment)
Key Points
-
1952 Oil Agreement: The Iraqi government made a deal with the Iraqi Petroleum Company for a 50-50 profit split. 🛢️
-
Still Unhappy: But wait, people were still mad because the British still had too much control. Imagine sharing your toys but not getting to decide how to play with them!
Real-World Example
You and your sibling agree to share your PlayStation, but your sibling still decides what games to buy and when to play. Annoying, right?
The Coup of 1958 ✊
Key Points
-
Overthrow: Army said "bye-bye monarchy, hello republic!" in 1958.
-
Changes: Iraq left the Baghdad Pact (a club of countries led by Britain) and took more control over their oil.
Real-World Example
Imagine if all students decided to replace the school principal because they felt the rules were too unfair. Big change, huh?
