A Revolutionary Quest for Unity and Security
The events of July 14, 1958, marked a significant turning point in Iraqi history, characterized by both a coup and a revolution.

This dual nature of the events highlights the complexities of political change in Iraq during this period, illustrating the interplay between military action and public support in shaping the nation’s future.
