Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr | 1968 – 1979 | 11 years | resigned or stood down, the article saysread from the ruler's own article | |
| Saddam Hussein | 1979 – 2003 | 24 years | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1968 – 2003. Only 35 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Flags and arms, in order
Each symbol with the years its own statement gives; the timeline flies the one of the year on screen.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 3 causes the record names and 0 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
