Mesopotamian Democratic Union

The Mesopotamian Democratic Union was a political group in Iraq during the 1940s and 1950s, advocating for democratic governance, national sovereignty, and modernization. It aimed to promote political reform, social progress, and stability in the region, emphasizing national unity across ethnic and religious divisions. Although it was active mainly before the 1958 Iraqi Revolution, the Union played a role in shaping early political debates about Iraq’s future, balancing modernization with traditional values within a democratic framework. Its efforts reflected the broader aspirations among Iraqis for greater political participation and national independence during that era.
