Iraq

Iraq has been extremely popular for the media and public ever since Desert Storm in '91. For two reasons: Armageddon the popular bibical name for the old battlefield of Megiddo in or near Israel & and the bible itself. Since Iraq is right next door to those historical events/sources (or legends, depending upon whose giving the lecture), people are interested in events there.

"IF" today's young people (today's 20 something generation) were to visit the 1960's in a time machine, they would witness monthly occurrences of military confrontations in that region. In fact, combat in those regions were so common, few in America, Britain & Europe paid little heed to them. Being in the midst of a serious cold war (a potential atomic war), the superpowers had bigger fish to fry.

Now that big fish is gone. So the little fish get a lot of attention now.

Iraq is prone to natural disasters such as droughts, sandstorms, and occasional floods. The Tigris and Euphrates rivers can cause flooding, while the country's arid climate makes it vulnerable to droughts and sandstorms, especially in the western regions. These natural disasters can have a significant impact on agriculture, infrastructure, and the livelihoods of people in Iraq.

Regardless of how well stuck together the Earth's surface may seem on the surface, it actually consists of several different slabs. Volcanoes and earth quakes occur along the lines where one plate rubs up against another. One such boundary runs through/underneath Italy, another Japan. But Iraq is well way from any boundary zone, so it doesn't see any volcanic activity.

Cordoba and Baghdad were both centers of learning and cultural exchange during the medieval Islamic Golden Age. They were known for their advancements in fields such as philosophy, science, and art, as well as their tolerance towards people of different religious and cultural backgrounds. Both cities were hubs of intellectual activity and attracted scholars from around the world.

This question is difficult to answer because Iraq has been settled for centuries under different names and terms "country" is nebulous.

Iraq has been settled by civilized peoples since roughly 5000 B.C.E., which was when the Sumerian Civilization was founded. However, the first term applied to the region was applied by the Ancient Greeks, who called the general area "Mesopotamia" or the "land between the rivers". The term "Iraq" was an Arab name for the region that appear later, but was used informally for the area.

The first time that somebody picked up a map and drew the outline of Iraq on it and said, "I will name this territory Iraq", then the answer would be 1918 when the British and French were dividing up former Ottoman territories and Iraq was an oil-rich territory that the British wanted. Iraq declared independence as sovereign nation in 1923 when Iraq was given independence from the United Kingdom, but Iraq was finally out of the United Kingdom's sphere of influence and proceeded to make its own policies in 1954 when King Faisal II was assassinated in a car-bombing and the Ba'ath Party took control of Iraq.

Sandstorms in Iraq are common due to its arid climate and large desert areas. The combination of strong winds and loose, dry soil can easily create a sandstorm that covers parts of the country. Human activities like deforestation and agriculture can also contribute to environmental conditions that make sandstorms more frequent.

A Baghdad battery consists of a ceramic pot, a copper cylinder, and an iron rod. When filled with an electrolyte such as vinegar or lemon juice, it generates a small electric current due to chemical reactions between the metals and the electrolyte. Though the exact purpose of these ancient batteries is still debated, they could potentially have been used for electroplating or medical purposes.

Yes it does snow in Iraq -- well, at least it did on January 11, 2008. However, people who live in Baghdad could not remember a previous day on which it had snowed. As a result, this was likely the first time. Accumulations ranged from one to several centimeters depending on where in the city you were that morning. Unfortunately, by late morning the snow had turned to rain. At least the citizens of Iraq had a chance to enjoy it while it lasted and many considered it an omen of peace.
