| | | | | Hans Blix: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - Persian Domination; 550 BCE to 652 CE In CE 600 the country which in our modern time known as Iraq was a province of the Iranian Empire known as khvarvaran province, to which it had belonged since Cyrus the Great. Intensive irrigation agriculture of the lower Tigris and Euphrates and of tributaries such as the Diyala and Karun formed the main resource base of the Sasanian monarchy.
The Arabic term Iraq, a derivative form of Persian Ērāk (lower Iran) was not used at this time; in the mid-6th century the Iranian Empire under Sasanian dynasty was divided by Khosrow I into ...

| | | | | Hans Blix: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - The Turkish Conquest During the late 14th and early 15th centuries, the Black Sheep Turkmen ruled the area now known as Iraq. In 1466, the White Sheep Turkmen defeated the Black Sheep and took control. Later, most of Iraq would become part of the Safavid Empire that arose in Iran in 1501.
In the 16th century Iraq became a part of the Ottoman Empire, although the Safavids temporarily recaptured much of Iraq during the first part of the 17th century.

| | | | | Hans Blix: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - The Arab conquest and the early Islamic period The first organised conflict between local Bedouin Arab tribes and Iranian forces seems to have been in 634, when the Arabs were defeated at the Battle of the Bridge. There was a force of some 5000 Muslims under Abū `Ubayd ath-Thaqafī, which was routed by the Iranians. Around 636, a much larger Arab Muslim force under Sa`d ibn Abī Waqqās defeated the main Iranian army at the Battle of al-Qādisiyyah and moved on to sack the capital of the Iranian Empire the Ctesiphon. By the end of 638, the Muslims had conquered almost all of Western Ira ...

| | | | | Hans Blix: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - Ethnic Diversity & Religion The inhabitants were very mixed. There was an aristocratic and administrative Persian upper class, but most of the population were middle class Persian Zoroastrians and the rest Aramaic-speaking peasants. There were a number of Tāzis (Arabs), most of whom lived as pastoralists along the western margins of the settled lands, but some lived as townspeople, especially in Hireh (al-Hira). In addition, there were another group of Iranian, Kurds, who lived along the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, and a surprisingly large number of Greeks, mostly prisoners ca ...

| | | | | Hans Blix: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - Ancient Times For most of historic time, the land area now known as modern Iraq was almost equivalent to Mesopotamia. The Mesopotamian plain between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates (in Arabic, the Dijla and Furat, respectively), is part of the Fertile Crescent. Many dynasties and empires ruled the Mesopotamia region such as Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia.

"I don't think they existed," commented Kay. "What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the last Gulf War and I don't think there was a large-scale production program in the nineties." Kay criticized the intelligence that led to the war in testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), saying "we were all wrong and that is most disturbing." Kay's successor, nam ...

The Iraq Survey Group continued the work of United Nations inspectors, led by Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, who were mandated by the U.N. Security Council to search for illegal weapons before the conflict (See Iraq disarmament crisis). The replacement of UNMOVIC/IAEA with British and American scientists was consistent with general trends in the country, which saw the influence of the U.N. ...

In early August of 2002, US Vice President Dick Cheney met with leaders of the Iraqi opposition groups, pledging that the Bush Administration intended to replace Saddam Hussein with a democratic government. This pledge was viewed cynically by those who recall George H. W. Bush's call for Iraqis to overthrow Saddam in 1991, which led to the murder of a large number of Shiites in Southern Iraq when US air forces held back and let Saddam's helicopters fly in the southern No-Fly Zone to defeat the uprising.

| | | | | | Hans Blix: Encyclopedia II - Iraq disarmament crisis - Authority under US Constitution The Constitution grants the power to declare war exclusively to Congress, but declares the President to be Commander in Chief of the armed forces. Because of this division of power, there has long been controversy regarding the authority of the President outside of a declared war. Nonetheless, of the hundreds of times the United States has exercised force outside its borders, only five have been as part of a declared war.
In 1973, amid increasing domestic controversy about the Vietnam War, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution to ...
