Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein was the fifth President of Iraq, serving from 1979 until his overthrow in 2003 during the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. He was known for his authoritarian regime, aggressive military campaigns, and use of brutal repression against dissent. Hussein's rule was marked by severe human rights abuses and significant conflicts, including the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War. His defiance of international sanctions and refusal to comply with United Nations resolutions ultimately led to his downfall. Following his capture, he was tried and executed for crimes against humanity.
