The Iraqi branch of the #BaathParty toppled the dictatorship of #AbdAlKarimQasim in 1963 on #ThisDayInHistory. The #RamadanRevolution was the first successful Ba'th coup, and thousands of #socialists were killed, but its alliance with non-Ba'thists ensured it did not last a year.

A #WildcatStrike happened on #ThisDayInHistory in 2003 at Motherwell, #Scotland, as train drivers refused to move ammunition for an Anglo-American invasion of #Iraq. The war ultimately killed half a million civilians, proving even bloodier than the longer rule of the #BaathParty.
