What two religious or ethnic groups were kept down by Saddam Hussein's dictatorship?

The Kurds (an ethnic group) and the Shiite Arabs (a religious group) were the most prominent of Saddam Hussein's ethnic/religious adversaries, but many smaller groups like the Marsh Arabs, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Turcomans (Iraqi Turkmen), the Jews, the Yazidis, Catholics, etc. were also targeted by Saddam Hussein.


What religious group comprises a majority of Iraqi population but held political authority and economic power under the Saddam Hussein?

The two pieces of the question do not fit together. The "religious group comprises a majority of Iraqi population" was the Twelver Shiite Muslims and the "religious group that held political authority and economic power under the Saddam Hussein" was the Sunni Muslims. The Sunnis were an empowered minority while the Shiites were a powerless majority.


Why did Saddam Hussein kill people?

Saddam Hussein was a horrible person. He attacked nearly everyone who opposed his reign or was from outside of his Sunni Arab ethnic group. Saddam Hussein repressed the Sunni, Shiite, and Yazidi Kurds because they sought to have an independent country and gain equality with Arab Iraqis. Saddam Hussein preferred to maintain a discriminatory and prejudicial system.

What group in Iraq had the most power under Saddam Hussein?

Under Saddam Hussein, the most powerful group in Iraq was the Ba'ath Party, which he led. The party promoted Arab nationalism and socialism, consolidating power through a network of loyalists and security forces. The Sunni Arab minority, particularly from Saddam's Tikriti clan, dominated key positions in the government and military, marginalizing other ethnic and religious groups, particularly the Shiites and Kurds. This concentration of power contributed to widespread repression and conflict during his regime.


What were Saddam Hussein's reasons for killing the Kurds?

As a Sunni, Saddam Hussein was suspicious that the Shiite population of Iraq was sympathetic to Iran (an Shiite Islamic theocracy). The Sunnis and the Shiities have been at odds with each other for centuries (just as the Protestant and Catholic divisions continue in Northern Ireland).
