| | | | Safavids: Encyclopedia II - Qom - History Qom as an urban settlement existed in the pre-Islamic ages. Architectural discoveries indicate that Qom was a residential area from the 5th millennium BCE. Pre-Islamic remaining relics and historical texts point to the fact of Qom being a large regional city.

During the caliphate of Omar ibn Khattab, Qom fell to the invading Arab armies of Islam. In 645CE, Abu Moosa Ashari, also dispatched forces under his command to the area. Conflicts resulted between the incoming Arab army ...

| | | | Safavids: Encyclopedia II - History of Iraq - Rule Under Saddām In July 1979, Bakr resigned, and his chosen successor, Saddām Husayn, assumed the offices of both President and Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council. He was the de facto ruler of Iraq for some years before he formally came to power.
Territorial disputes with Iran led to an inconclusive and costly eight-year war, the Iran-Iraq War (1980 – 1988, termed Qādisiyyat-Saddām – 'Saddām's Qādisiyyah'), eventually devastating the economy. Iraq declared victory in 1988 but actually achieved a weary return to the < ...
