What was the justification for the invasion of Iraq by its allies in 2003?
To remove "Weapons of Mass Destruction" from Saddam's control.
It's worth noting that the phrasing in the question of "its allies" is incorrect. Iraq was not invaded in 2003 by any country that it would have considered its allies. The United States was seen as an enemy imperialist power in Iraqi political circles as was the United Kingdom.
What was the difference in the government of Constantinople and Baghdad?
The answer is simple. Obviously, Constantinople was during time up to the 1900's, because now it is called Istanbul. Constantinople was ruled by the Ottoman Empire in 1299-1918. It was the capitol. Baghdad was also a part of the Ottoman Empire. That makes their government, if your using modern day terms, an autocracy or an oligarchy government. Hope that tid-bit helped!
