Brigadier General Abd al-Karim Qasim.

It is commonly believed that King Faisal II was replaced with Saddam Hussein. This is not the case as King Faisal was ejected through a coup d'état and Saddam was not part of the Army. Brigadier General Abd al-Karim Qasim came to power as "President". He too was overthrown by a coup in 1963 by Colonel Abdul Salam Arif who ruled until 1966 when he died and his brother Rahman Arif became the Present. The Ba'aths under Ahmed Hasan Al-Bakir overthrew Rahman Arif in 1968 and his lieutenant, Saddam Hussein, would not come to power until 1979.

Who colonized Iraq?

Officially, No, but many consider it to be because the power that the British exercised over Iraq during its mandate-period resembles colonization. Iraq was part of the Mandate System and as such, the British expended a great deal of manpower to "modernize" and "control" the country. Officially, however, mandates were not colonies in that a mandate has the future purpose of becoming a realized independent state. A colony does not have such a purpose. The Mandate of Iraq was maintained from 1919 until 1921 when the British transferred authority to King Faisal I. However, the British interfered often with Iraqi policy and maintained boots on the ground until 1954.
