20th century to 20th-century
Would there be any objection to moving this article to 20th-century history of Iraq? Since 20th and century are working together as a compound adjective before the noun history, it should be hyphenated. 20th century history of Iraq would remain as a redirect to the new title. If there's a consensus, or at least no objection, I'll make the move in about a week. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 04:15, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Political history overrepresented
In the article 20th-century history of Iraq the political history of Iraq as a Ba'athist state is overrepresented, while other aspects of Iraq history is underrepresented. Even if the Mandatory Iraq period and Kingdom of Iraq period are mentioned briefly, the article takes only the political aspect of the history of Iraq in the 20-th century Alkhalm2 (talk) 21:43, 14 November 2018 (UTC).
Investigation: Iraq 1927
What we know what happened to Iraq is it all got destroyed from Syria, but we found this on the web on Bing
Microsoft Bing: In 1927, huge oil fields were discovered near Kirkuk and brought economic improvement. Exploration rights were granted to the Iraqi Petroleum Company, which despite the name, was a British oil company. King Faisal I was succeeded by his son Ghazi in December 1933.
Thank you Bing for telling us the answers now wikipedia, tell us
Wikipedia: After World War I, Iraq passed from the failing Ottoman Empire to British control. Kingdom of Iraq was established under the British Mandate in 1932. In the 14 July Revolution of 1958, the king was deposed and the Republic of Iraq was declared. In 1963, the Ba'ath Party staged a coup d'état and was in turn toppled by another coup in the same year, but managed to retake power in 1968. Saddam Hussein took power in 1979 and ruled Iraq for the remainder of the century, during the Iran–Iraq War of the 1980s, the Invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf War of 1990 to 1991 and the UN sanction during the 1990s. Saddam was removed from power in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Hassaaninvestigations (talk) 03:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
