Saddam kept touching his beard before his execution, and people thought he was afraid, but his daughter understood what he meant
Iraq has a long history and is the birthplace of the Two Rivers civilization, with city-states already emerging in 4700 BC. Since the establishment of the Babylonian kingdom 2,000 years ago, Iraq has been baptized by war, and they have no longer feared the sound of artillery and cries after years of war.
In modern times, Iraq has temporarily entered a period of peace, due to its special geographical location, rich underground crude oil resources, crude oil reserves ranked fourth in the world. It was precisely because of crude oil that Iraq fell into war again, and Saddam Hussein came into being.
Saddam Hussein was Iraq's fifth president, and during his presidency, the country's oil economy reached a peak and raised Iraq's standing in the Slanc world. However, Saddam Hussein launched many wars, causing resentment among the people at home, and their evaluation of Saddam Hussein was mixed.
Saddam Hussein was born in 1937 in a peasant family, because of his poor family conditions, so he paid special attention to the country's economic development. In 1947, Saddam Hussein attended a nationalist school, which deepened his views on the nation.
In 1979, after 20 years of ups and downs, Saddam finally became the president of Iraq. After he took office, he quickly integrated the divided religion and economy, vigorously developed the economy, and at the same time introduced a number of bills for the welfare of the people, just to win the support of the people.
At the same time, Saddam Hussein also focused on correcting the distribution of power to avoid a recurrence of coups. Saddam Hussein was aggressive and ambitious, and his greatest dream was to become a national hero of the entire Arab world.
Iraq and Iran fought an eight-year Iran-Iraq war because of territorial issues, and towns and people on both sides were constantly attacked, until 1990, when the two countries shook hands and made peace, and Saddam Hussein was designated a "dangerous element" by the United Nations.
In February of the same year, Saddam Hussein declared war on Kuwait again, intending to overthrow the Kuwaiti government and annex Kuwait, and the United States and other countries launched a 42-day military attack on the Iraqi army after being authorized by the United Nations, and finally through the Gulf War, the US military once again established its status as a military power.
Until 2003, Saddam Hussein was accused of using prohibited weapons and would face brutal U.S. blows if he did not leave Iraq within 48 hours. Of course, Saddam Hussein rejected the proposal, but he was no match for the United States after all, and after fleeing for more than half a year, he was captured by American troops in his hometown of Tikrit.
In 2006, Saddam Hussein was hanged, and before the execution, Saddam Hussein refused to wear a black hood, but kept touching his beard with his hands in front of the camera, and people at the time thought it was because he was afraid of making a subconscious move, but his daughter understood what he meant.
Saddam Hussein meant: I was betrayed by a traitor, give me revenge. After investigation, the daughter finally determined that the person who betrayed her father was his most trusted personal bodyguard, Muslat, who provided the US military with Saddam's location for $25 million.
Since the traitor was found, he naturally could not be allowed to live, so Muslat was assassinated by Saddam's supporters, and he was not paid $25 million.
