Islamic Revolution in Iraq

The Islamic Revolution in Iraq, primarily centered around the Shiite Muslim community, was a movement in the late 20th century advocating for the establishment of an Islamic government based on religious principles. It emerged as a response to the secular, authoritarian rule of President Saddam Hussein's regime, aiming to promote Islamic values, justice, and social reforms. While not a revolution in the traditional sense of overthrowing the government through mass uprising, it significantly influenced Iraqi politics and society, fueling ongoing tensions between religious and secular factions. The movement contributed to the broader context of regional Islamic activism and resistance.
