    There once was a man named Saddam Hussein, who was president of Iraq. He had fame, power, and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Before they hung him from the gallows, these were his final words. He said: "My WMD'S are yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first! I left everything I own in once piece." Ever since, terrorists all over the world set sail for the Middle East, searching for One Piece, the weapons that would make their dreams come true.

      @@ReySchultz121 Just like Christianity there was a schism where due to religious/ political regions two main sects of islam formed with one being sunni and the other being Shia. So there is just 2 that's all you need to know. Shias are obviously the minority but are armed and formed into militias all over the Middle East by Iran as part of geopolitics of Iran. Shiasim in general was a tiny minority until a group called the Safavids came to power and forced convert all sunnis with Iran and in Iranian dominions to shiaism as a power move. As for religious differences there really isn't much between sunnis and Shias.

    You missed two very important issues,
    1. when Saddam invaded Iran, it was coordinated with Iranian generals who hoped that they can use the shock and chaos that will follow to take down the Khomeini regime. it was planned that the operation will take less than 3 weeks for those generals to get the job done, Khomeini instead use the opportunity to consolidate his power taking the aggression as an excuse to do so
    2. Saddam only invaded Kuwait after getting the green light from the USA, the US ambassador to Iraq told him "we do not have any defense agreements with Kuwait ", which he took as green light to invade
    Other comments:
    Iraqis did not dislike the royal family because they were Syrians or whatsoever , they disliked the fact that it was an absolute monarchy acting as a puppet to the UK. they were the Hashemite family from Mecca.
    The royal family of Iraq were actually from Hijjaz, mecca to be exact, (western part of Saudi Arabia now), they lost their kingdom by being betrayed by the UK after WWI , which promised them the same lands to the Zionist state and France.
    Instead of giving the Hashemites a united Arab kingdom as they promised, they give them three separate kingdoms and the fourth state was Israel
    they lost two of them to revolt against the absolute monarchies that were puppet to the UK, only Jordan now has a hashemite king
    Ben Saud was willing to go farther in obeying the UK than the Hashmites, so they used him to give the hashmite a humbling delete.

    Just discovered this channel and I find it really great. :)
    I do however have one opinion: there is quite the focus on wars and politics, but not so much on social history necessarily. My parents lived in Baghdad during Saddam's vice-presidency and I half expected to hear an account of how Iraq looked like socially and economically during the different stages of Saddam's power, as this would give more insight to uninitiated people than the results of his deposing alone.
    This might be a great burden for the lengths your videos currently have and would maybe make them a bit too long to serve as introductions. But yeah, just a thought :)

    Great Video Feature History , However you i was puzzled to see a few IMO important things omitted:
    1. USA Supported Saddams war in Iran, at least "morally" giving Saddam the impression that USA supported his politics in the middle east.
    2. Prior to invading Kuwait, incurring the wrath of USA, Saddam actually contacted the US foreign ministry to ask about their stance regarding the issues between him and Kuwait. He got an answer that was essentially "what happens there is none of our business". Thus he believed that to be a "go ahead" for his invasion, hence his violent reaction when USA suddenly defended Kuwait militarily.
    3. While the UN did place sanctions on Iraq, none of the military action taken by NATO against Iraq in 2003 (not sure about 1990) was condoned by UN, quite the opposite.
    4.Arab nationalism. From what i know Arab nationalism divides into Pan-arabism (the wish to unite all arabic speaking people in a federation, like Bismarck unified Germany) and Baathism (More generic National state centered nationalism). In the "arab cold war" as you call it, Egypt and syria were Pan-arabist, at least from 1960-70 (under Nassir in Egypt).

      They didn't supported him just morally, the US was supporting him with weapons, advisors and billions of dollars, it's even comical. It would be comical if it weren't for the deaths and the refugee crisis.

      5. Denmark joined the invasion force the day after the war broke out, but critically before any UN sanction to do so. Incidentally, the political party that thought that was a great idea lost power in '08, and regained it in '15, where they immediately shut down the commission investigating the illegal war that they involved us in.

      Yet another example of a narrative being repeated so often that it becomes the accepted truth. Bush said when he left office that he wished he hadn’t let that banner be hung because he knew it would get taken the wrong way by a media that reveled in embarrassing him. He’s spent his post-presidency years working with veterans of these conflicts, helping them heal. He is visibly bothered by what happened, a condition we now have a term for: Moral Injury. Saddam, for all he stumbled into doing correctly, never took up the time to care for veterans injured or maimed in his conflicts.
