The Iran-Iraq War, also known as the Imposed War (جنگ تحمیلی, Jang-e-tahmīlī) in Iran, and Saddām's Qādisiyyah (قادسيّة صدّام, Qādisiyyat Saddām) in Iraq, was a war between the armed forces of Iraq and Iran lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. It was commonly referred to as the (Persian) Gulf War until the Iraq-Kuwait conflict (1990â??91), which became known as the Second (Persian) Gulf War and later simply the (Persian) Gulf War.
It has been called "the longest conventional war of the 20th century", and cost 1 million casualties and US$1.19 trillion. (D. Hiro)
The war began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980 following a long history of border disputes, demands for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime, and secret encouragement by the US administration (Jimmy Carter, conveyed through Saudi Arabia) which was embroiled in a dispute with the new regime in Iran.
The conflict saw early successes by the Iraqis, but before long they were repelled and the conflict stabilized into a long war of attrition. The United Nations Security Council called upon both parties to end the conflict on multiple occasions, but a ceasefire was not agreed to until 20 August 1988, and the last prisoners of war were not exchanged until 2003. The war irrevocably altered politics in the area, playing into wider global politics and leading to the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
The war is also noted for extensive use of chemical weapons by Iraqi forces
NOT LEFT OR RIGHT, RIGHT OR WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bong30 Reviewed by Bong30 on . Support the cause I want all Canadian men to stand up and lobby the government so they can allow single immigrant women that can cook and clean into this country. I'm sick and tired of canned goods and take out. If this keeps up I'm going to be broke and starved not to mention food poisoning. Our women can't cook, you'll be sorry if you let them try. Rating: 5
