Explanation: Saddam Hussein (1937-2006), was an Iraqi President, known for his dictatorial regime. He has imposed many murders of opponents, their torture, and the expulsion and ethnic cleansing of the Kurds in Northern Iraq. After US intervention in Iraq, and the establishment of a new regime, Saddam Hussein was executed in 2006.
N 2006, former Iraq ruler Saddam Hussein was "executed by the new government" This took place after he was found hiding by US forces after a long and exhaustive search.
In 1968, during the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago, governors gathered to discuss, once again, the future of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.
There were two opposing groups. On the one hand, the ones who didn't want the U.S. to continue participating in the War, led by Eugene McCarthy. On the oher hand, the winning side, who supported the war, led by Hubert Humphrey.
As a result, that same day outside the Convention, thousands of antiwar activists gathered to protest and to show their respect for McCarthy. But they were not alone, because Richard Dale, who was the Major of Chicago by then, deployed thousands of police officers to alleviate the situation. The event ended up in a complete disaster: people beating each other and getting hurt. Therefore, this episode is also known as "the Battle of Michigan"
