Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party (Revolutionary Command Council)

The Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party (Revolutionary Command Council) was a political organization in Iraq that aimed to unite Arab countries through socialism and Arab nationalism. Founded in the 1940s, it promoted socialist ideas and Arab unity, leading to a military coup in 1968 that brought Saddam Hussein to power. The Revolutionary Command Council was its ruling body, making key decisions and consolidating authority. The party’s policies combined socialism, strong centralized control, and Arab identity, shaping Iraq’s politics until the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.
