Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq, from 1979 until his ousting in 2003, was characterized by authoritarianism, brutality, and a cult of personality. He maintained power through a combination of political repression, widespread surveillance, and the use of military force against dissent, including violent crackdowns on uprisings. His regime was marked by human rights abuses, including torture and executions, particularly against ethnic and political opponents. Additionally, Saddam's aggressive foreign policy, notably the Iran-Iraq War and the invasion of Kuwait, had significant regional implications and contributed to international sanctions and military intervention.
Saddam Hussein had a profound impact on the Middle East through his authoritarian rule in Iraq and his aggressive foreign policies. His invasion of Iran in 1980 sparked a brutal war that lasted eight years, destabilizing the region and leading to widespread devastation. Additionally, his invasion of Kuwait in 1990 prompted the Gulf War, resulting in international military intervention and long-term U.S. presence in the region. Hussein's regime also influenced sectarian tensions and power dynamics, particularly between Sunni and Shia communities, which continue to affect the Middle East today.
The country was Austria.
He believed that the person who should rule the country was not the richest but the wisest.
He was the rule of Iraq.

suddam husein run his country by using his outhority to implement such rule that is not agreable.
Iraq is a country in middle East. It is divided on very deep rooted ethnic and sectarian lines. Before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it was ruled by Saddam Hussein. Under Saddam's autocratic rule these sectarian and ethnic divides were not very prominent. However, US invasion and subsequent failure to control situation has led to rise of ISIS in the country which is threatening regional peace.
Your so pathetic, you have no proof that saddam hussein killed, murdered, and ruled brutally. And your saying that saddam has WMD. The united states broke their way into iraq forcfully and found nothing. i can back this up because George bush himself said;and i quote; ''we broke into iraq because we thought they had mass destruction weapons, did they? no they didnt''. Thats the proof that they didnt have WMD. His own people love him, iraq was one of the most poorest countries in the world but saddam hussein made it one of the richest. They didnt have water or elecdtricity he gave them all of that. Have you seen the cities the iraq? Im sure you havent so put your mouth where the evidence is. Thank you for your time :)
by Viet Vo I think Saddam Hussein killed people because he like to see people dying and did it for fun. I think he also did this is because he played to much violent shooting games and using it in real life. The U.S capture himin a secret under ground bunker. He was hanged around 2006 because he was found GUILTY and after his death, they made a statue of him as mormorial.
Saddam Hussein, President of Iraq for the past two decades, has the dubious distinction of being the world's best known and most hated Arab leader. And in a region where despotic rule is the norm, he is more feared by his own people than any other head of state. A former Iraqi diplomat living in exile summed up Saddam's rule in one sentence: "Saddam is a dictator who is ready to sacrifice his country, just so long as he can remain on his throne in Baghdad." Few Iraqis would disagree with this. Although none living in Iraq would dare to say so publicly.
