This week for my blog I am going to be talking about a presentation we did on genocides. A genocide is a mass killing based off of a culture, race, color, religion, etc. We were all put into groups and we chose which person we wanted to do a powerpoint on. Our group Saddam Hussein. He was the fifth president of Iraq and he created chaos in Iraq. He started a war with Iran and then during that war he killed anyone that was in his way of rising to power. He especially hated Kurdish people. He killed over 500,000 people in two decades. He was a terrible guy who went into hiding and then was found by the american army. He was found in a spider hole underground in his hometown where he grew up with his uncle. He was in that spider hole for six months. The american army captured Saddam Hussein and then we gave him back to the Iraq government where he went through trial and was charged for 2,000 murders and was sentenced to death by hanging. Overall he was a crazy harmful man who did a lot of harm on innocent people. After he was overthrown Iraq was in shambles . It was very hard for them to recover. Overall Saddam Hussein was a bad person who killed thousands of innocent people for no reason in particular but for fame and power over Iraq. Overall this was sad and dark time for Iraq and today is still remembered. To this day people are still hurting from it today. The world will never be the same after what Saddam hussein did to the world and especially to Iraq and Iraq people and the Kurdish people he did not like. http://www.biography.com/people/saddam-hussein-9347918
