He never knew his father, Hussein 'Abid al-Majid, who disappeared six months before Saddam was born.
Because after the coalition forces had swept in through Kuwait in the South and flanked Saddam from the West, and had managed to surround Saddams army in Iraq, George Bush decided to withdraw the troops from Iraq instead of pushing into Iraq and annihlating Saddams army, which was their original objective. Because he didn't, Saddam ended up still in power, and caused many more deaths. It wasn't until the 2nd gulf war he was captured and executed.
The first war with Iraq started in 1990. This war, also known as Operation Desert Storm, the Persian Gulf War, First Gulf War, Gulf War I, or the First Iraq War, started when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
No, the war in Iraq did not end with Saddam Hussein's capture in December 2003. While his capture marked a significant turning point, the conflict continued for several years as insurgency, sectarian violence, and political instability persisted. The U.S. military remained engaged in Iraq until December 2011, and the situation evolved into a broader struggle involving various factions and the rise of groups like ISIS.
