- USA and UK invaded Iraq claiming that Hussein had WMD's, Hussein

- Saddam Hussein
- Leader of Iraq from 1978-2003
- He was a dictator who used brutal methods to control his population and used
aggressive foreign policy (invades other nations)
- Leader of Iraq from 1978-2003
- Ethnic Groups in Iraq
- Sunni Muslims these were the 2nd largest group, lived
mainly in the center of Iraq. Hussein was a Sunni
therefore they had more power.
- Shi'ah Muslims were the largest group and dominated south Iraq. Have less power
than Sunnis. In 1999 Hussein drained marshes of Southern Iraq which affected
Shi'ah living standards, limited political power
- Kurds were the smallest group who live in Northern Iraq. They have no
political influence. Hussein used chemicals weapons against them in 1988
- Sunni Muslims these were the 2nd largest group, lived
mainly in the center of Iraq. Hussein was a Sunni
therefore they had more power.
- Why did USA and UK decide to invade Iraq in 2003?
- 1998- Hussein had the UN inspectors removed so nobody knew if he still had WMD's from the
1980's or if had developed new ones since 1998. Saddam's secret police were very strict in
Iraq which held suspicions that Hussein was trying to hide something.
- 1999-2001- In 1999 and again in 2001 Hussein refused efforts to get the inspectors back in Iraq.
However it was another miscalculation he told the UN he had no WMD's. Saddam had become
weaker since 1991.
- 8th November 2002- The UN passes UN Resolution 1441 (which meant that the USA and the UK
could criticise Hussein because he broke previous resolutions and given one last chance to
comply, if he did not do this he would face serious consequences)
- November 2002-March 2003- An UN weapons inspection team, led by
Hans Blix, is allowed back into Iraq. They find no evidence that Hussein
has any WMD's.
- 1998- Hussein had the UN inspectors removed so nobody knew if he still had WMD's from the
1980's or if had developed new ones since 1998. Saddam's secret police were very strict in
Iraq which held suspicions that Hussein was trying to hide something.
