@iraqii.165: On this day, 14th July of 1958, King Faisal II of Iraq was tragically k1lled during a military coup that marked the end of the Hashemite monarchy. Born in 1935, Faisal became king at the age of three after the assassination of his father, King Ghazi. He ruled under a regency until coming of age, navigating a complex political landscape shaped by colonial legacies, pan-Arabism, and internal unrest. His reign, though marked by modernization efforts and close ties with the West, came to a violent end at just 23 years old, as Iraq transitioned into a republic and entered a new, turbulent chapter in its history. Despite his young age, King Faisal II of Iraq left behind a legacy of ambition, vision, and diplomacy. During his short reign, he oversaw a period of rapid modernization—expanding education, improving infrastructure, and promoting economic reforms aimed at transforming Iraq into a leading power in the Middle East. One of the most remarkable aspects of his leadership was the long-term national development plan that aimed to shape Iraq’s progress over the next 100 years. His government invested in schools, hospitals, roads, and ambitious agricultural and industrial projects—laying the groundwork for a modern Iraqi state. Faisal was also a skilled diplomat, cultivating strong international alliances, particularly with the United Kingdom. He enjoyed a warm personal friendship with Queen Elizabeth II, with whom he shared correspondence and several state visits. Their relationship was built on mutual respect, royal ties, and strategic interests, reinforcing Iraq’s position as a key ally in the region. Had his life not been cut short, many believe Iraq’s path may have taken a very different course—guided by a young monarch with a global outlook and a heart set on national unity and development. *educational purposes only* #foryou #fyp #foryoupage #viral #explore #viralvideo #xyzbca #iraq
