In May 2003, after the United States overthrew Saddam Hussein's regime, the former Iraqi government forces were dissolved.

Chronology of major events in Iraqi history

The area was occupied by Arabs in 656. It was a part of Persia for a long time before, but almost all the capitals of the regimes were built in the two river basins, such as Persian Empire, Babylon of Alexandria, Seleucia of Seleucid Dynasty, Rest Empire and Taixi Peak of Sassanian Dynasty.

In 762, the caliph moved to Baghdad, the northern suburb of Taixi Peak, the capital of Sassanian dynasty. Since then, Baghdad has been the center of the Arab world until 1534 was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire.

19 15, British troops occupied Iraq and ruled in the name of the League of Nations. Until 1932, Iraq became independent and became a monarchy ruled by the Hashemite dynasty.

From 65438 to 0958, the Arab Baath Socialist Party with a socialist background overthrew the pro-Western Hashemite dynasty and gained the ruling position. Western countries have resisted this.

Saddam Hussein became the leader of the party in 1979 and exercised a harsh dictatorship. During Saddam's rule, he attacked and killed dissidents. In A.D. 1980, due to sectarian conflicts, Saddam and his neighbor Iran fought the Iran-Iraq War for eight years. At this time, after the Islamic Revolution, Iran became a country hostile to the United States. So the United States supported Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war.

1990, Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait, and Kuwait quickly fell because of its low military resistance. Saddam Hussein declared that "Kuwait became a province of Iraq", but it was quickly condemned by the United Nations and the United States-Britain coalition "operation desert storm" and carried out air strikes against Iraqi ground forces. In June of the following year, when the Gulf War broke out, Iraq was defeated by the multinational forces led by the United States and was expelled from Kuwait. This led to the United States-led countries imposing long-term sanctions on Iraq, claiming that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and conducting weapons inspections on it many times in the name of the United Nations.

On March 20th, 2003, the United States organized coalition forces to attack Iraq on the grounds that Iraq expelled the International Atomic Energy Agency from Iraq without international supervision and verification. This has not been approved by the United Nations. A war broke out in Iraq, and a few weeks later the Baath Party regime was defeated by the United States and Britain. During this period, the Iraqi army did not have much resistance to the American army, and a large number of Iraqi soldiers surrendered. Iraq is under the control of the United States and its allies, but there is no evidence that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction. Paul bremer, the chief executive appointed by the United States, is the highest chief executive in charge of Iraq affairs in the United States and serves as the head of Iraq. The Iraqi Interim Governing Council, composed of various political forces, is discussing the drafting of the Constitution and the capital construction plan.

On June 1 2004, the United Nations, the United States and Iraq elected an interim Iraqi government with Allawi as Prime Minister. On June 28th, the US-British coalition forces handed over power to the Iraqi interim government.

On June 30, 2005, Iraq held a general election. On April 6th, jalal talabani was elected President of the Iraqi transitional regime. On May 20, 2006, the first official government after the war was sworn in with the approval of the parliament. The Prime Minister is Jawad al-Maliki. However, in order to resist the military occupation of the United States and Britain, terrorists carried out car bomb attacks on Iraqi police, government agencies and US troops stationed in Iraq. The escalation of violent conflicts between Iraqi Shiites and Sunni Muslims has also become a thorny issue for the Iraqi government.
