In his childhood, his father died and his mother went to a village after giving him the custody of relatives. After a few years, she did a second marriage.

The Stepfather's treatment was not good to him. Life was not easy for him. Young boys of the street made fun of him. At that time he was a bit of, lonely person. He Hectored the other boys. At a young age, he left his home and started living with his uncle. 

From his young age, he participated in the protests against the government. He was very active in these activities. Like other Iraqi people, he was against the British colonial government and rich Dukes. with time he became more intense in his believings. In 1958 revolution the British supporting royalty was finished. And an era of crisis full of violence began. 

The decade of 60 proved most important for Saddam Hussein. He succeeded to be favourite of Ahmed Hassan Al_Bakr, an important leader of the Ba'ath party and a close relative to his uncle. At that time, Saddam was not an officer nor a part of the army, but he accomplished many tasks for Ahmed Hassan Al_Bakr. 

In 1968, the Ba'ath party came into power, and Ahmed Hassan Al_Bakr became president of Iraq.

In this period, he remained right hand of Ahmed Al Hassan. The important and secret tasks of government, he accomplished himself. To remove the opponents from the public view was also included in the tasks. 

President Bakr took the oil industry into government 'management. A new era of development began. Roads and schools were built. Electricity in villages was also reached. The political intendancies of Saddam Hussein were increasing. In 1979 Ahmed Al Baker gave resignation on health grounds.

Saddam Hussein became president.

Soon he exposed a rebellion against the government in front of the council and his party. The persons who took part in the rebellion were killed or arrested. The personality of Saddam Hussein dominated the government of the Ba'ath party. If there was an ideology that was the only saddamism.

The political preferences of Saddam Hussein were crossing the borders of Iraq 🇮🇶. He considered himself a great leader like Salahuddin Ayubi in history. 

Saddam Hussein began to dismiss the relationships with neighbour countries. In 1980 Iraq attacked Iran. Against the expectations of Saddam Hussein, this war comes to be a horrible experience to him. It continued for eight years and ten lakh people died in the war. As a result of the war, Iraq faced economic issues. Saddam asked for economic help from the neighbourhood countries.

He claimed to Kuwait 🇰🇼 that they have stolen Iraq 🇮🇶 's oil and at not receiving the asked amount, he entered Iraq 🇮🇶 's Army in Kuwait in August 1990. 

This step arose extremely bad for him.

He was expecting the powers that helped him in the Iran war, if they do not help him in this war, they will not go opposite of him. But the circumstances were changed. 

America and its allies preferred the security of their interests in Khaleej(Israel and oil).

America and Britain attacked Iraq 🇮🇶. They claimed that Iraq had atomic weapons. Americans took over Iraq's government. Saddam Hussein was arrested and was hanged on.
