The Life Story of Saddam Hussein - How History Works

Saddam Hussein was known as The Butcher of Baghdad but you could say he was more of a Shepherd who led himself to the slaughterhouse like many dictators his rule is marked with the tropes of any Tyrant oppression aggression and violence yet he stands apart from the light of Hitler or Stalin for doing what they couldn't do or wouldn't do Saddam means the one who confronts.
It's a fitting name for a man whose time at the top was marked with backstabbing walls and Invasion on my orders Coalition forces have begun striking selected targets of military importance to undermine Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war.
Thankfully his reign of terror finally ended when he was forced into Exile and found hiding in a tiny Dugout on a secluded Farm but was his end out of the blue or had there been signs that it was a long time coming whatever you think you know we promise there's more to Saddam's story than meets the eye so it's time to learn how history works as we uncover Saddam Hussein's rise to power and fall to Madness

Why is it that the REAL REASON Saddam was eliminated is NEVER even mentioned in this and all other videos on YT? The real reason is: Sadam allowed any party to pay in ANY CURRENCY for his oil. That is the biggest threat he could convey on the US. The US ' agreement with Saudo Arabia to only accept US Dollars for their oil cemented the US' power in the world. And this continues to this day

Should we forget the atrocities that Sadam committed? Should we blame the people of Iraq or their ignorance and inability to be civilized in a way that most humans take for granted nowadays.

[@bigbod7611]

Your clearly uneducated in both topics of the Iran war and Kuwait war. The Iran war was started and forced upon Iraq by khomani and there’s many ways to prove this. Interview with khomanis in 1978 French tv they asked him what his plans were and who his enemy’s are and he said 1Shah2USA3Saddam because he was kicked out of Iraq and sent to France he hates the Ba’ath party and wanted to install his own shia govenement in Iraq since 1979 and when he came to power he violated the Algeria agreement invading over 60kms in Iraq attacking an oil refinery’s Iraqi boats in the Arabian gulf. Attacked Iraqi embassy and multiple attacks inside Iraq openly called for a uprising. Iraq put up over 20 UN violations against Iran and tried every peaceful Avenue and nothing worked. In October of 1979 Iraq gave its first offer to stop the war only 1 month after the war had started and they would all be rejected by khomani until 1988 he accepted the peace offer so please tell me more about how saddam started a war with Iran. If you want me to explain to Kuwait war for you as well I would be more then happy to and if you care to see here’s a nice little accurate documentary of who actually started the 1980 Iraq-Iran war kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZvIiIJ7n6xgqc0

One of my best friends was a Kurd that eventually had to flee to a refugee camp, and then flee the country because of the violence against Kurdish males under this man's regime. He and his family were simply apple orchard farmers and had their home burnt down twice, and then their trees burnt to the ground while they fled into the hills. My friend carried his very ill incapacitated mother on his back for 30 miles to avoid Saddam's men from abducting him and his younger brother and maybe much worse. Saddam is responsible for so many innocent people's deaths. I don't see how people that do those types of things are considered "hero" or someone to be proud of, no matter what other things they were doing. My friend lost his mother and brother both through these raids on homes of kurds, and he managed to escape with his life, barely to the US, seperated from his wife in an invasion one day. After arriving in the US, he worked two fulltime and one part time job, to be able to return and pay for help to get his wife through the countryside and eventually to the US. I had no idea of the horrors and fear that so many innocent people lived with daily under Saddam until I learned about them and their life story.

First of all .. I'm an iraqi who hates Sadam more than any other human who lived in this planet.. But there are many things which you said that wasn't accurate Kuwait ( I hate that Iraqis invaded it and sorry for it ) didn't """ ask politely for their money back """" They started to sell petrol in a very low price.. punishing Saddam ( and iraq ) for the delay in the payment ( there are some some sides who clames that was western strategy that's been placed for Kuwait to follow) What do you expect from a country with trillions of dollars of debt and a big artillery.. who planning to rebuild itself from the oil exports to do ? This is a shallow inaccurate video .. he who seeks truth should look for it in a different place

[@bebopuk]

you say you hate that iraq invaded Kuwait but then justify the invasion lol

[@TheAmanor123]

​@@bebopuki hate replying to idiots like you but I must do it because Its hard for me to ignore stupidity. He stated the facts of why iraq invaded them, he didnt say iraq was right in doing so. You see where im going with this? Iraq invaded koweit but koweit did play a dangerous game. They reduced the prices of the oil making iraq unable to repay their debt. Can you imagine owing 1000$ to the bank by next week and all of a sudden, the government decides to reduce the salary from 10$/hour to 1$/hour. It would take 100 hours to repay thr debt but now its 1000 hours and you cant afford that because its not substannable for you. How will you feed your family next month with no savings? You ll ve to work around 5 months before being debtfree. Imagine this at a national level now. Iraq s biggest export is oil. Koweits were dirty bastards for pulling such a move. Obviously you would answer in violence to such a sly dirty move. What other choices do you have. Im not even from the middle east and i can understand that much you idiot

[@charlesshelton7989]

As an American Air Force veteran of the war in Afghanistan: I do not belive we should have gone in to Iraq. However: Sadam was probably going to succumb to the Arab Spring before to long. Alternate History Hub has a good video talking about it.

[@alexanderlarsen5641]

As an Iraqi who’s studied the history of his country closely, I’m surprised of how accurate every piece of information mentioned in this video. Except one common wrong information which is Saddam didn’t study law or continued his college studies outside of Iraq.

[@popalzai15]

Lies lies about Saddam here this video should be deleted. Saddam was the best man ever and leaders of the world had fear from him especially USA

[@Nell302]

the greatest leader of all time

[@williamyt6174]

No... Don't pull a Jake Tran. Why would you do this

[@HowHistoryWorks]

Whole plan was for someone more qualified to write and narrate this channel. Unfortunately couldn’t do that at the start

[@parkerlamarbrook]

This is nothing like Jake Tran. HMW & HHW would have to start trying to scam us all with crypto, fake Rolexes, and 98% made up “facts”. Dude’s videos were always lazily made and never high quality by any stretch of the imagination, but damn, what a nosedive he took in the last year or two. Jake Tran is the worst.

Every clip was actual footage of saddam as a kid

[@ziadawad9567]

At least in his reign Iraq was a lot safer than it is now

[@bebopuk]

Wrong. Iraq is safer now. The clue is whether or not publicly saying "I don't like Saddam" decreased your lifespan

[@ziadawad9567]

@@bebopuk yeah now just saying anything would get you killed

[@bebopuk]

@@ziadawad9567 Strange way to deny that Saddam ran a fascist dictatorship. I'm guessing the reason you're lying about how Iraqis can publicly criticise Saddam now without fear of punishment or death is because you miss the rapist. You do you do bro

​@@bebopuku don't know shit. 😅 the Might of America and trillions of dollars over 20 years couldn't make Iraq into what saddam did. U were brain washed with American propaganda 😅

This enraged Saddam's father, who punished him severely

[@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96]

Okay the reason why I'm watching this video because it occurs to me that I know very little about the real Saddam Hussein I got introduced this guy through this guy on South Park I mean I knew that the character was based on the real life Iraqi dictator or wherever you want to call him but I decided to educate myself and learn more about the actual Saddam Hussein

So when you say the kurds wanted a “own nation” didn’t the native americans also want a “own nation” inside the now USA territory and what happened to them we surely don’t need to talk about that and what atrocities the americans did to native Americans before u come out here talking about others history how about u look at the mirror 😂
