Ghazi of Iraq

Ghazi (1912 - 1939) was king of Iraq from 1933 to 1939. He was born in 1912 in Mecca, in present-day Saudi Arabia, the son of Faisal I, the first king of Iraq. A staunch nationalist, opposed to British interests in his country, Ghazi's reign was characterized by tensions between civilians and the army, which sought control of the government. He supported General Bakr Sidqi[?] in his coup, which replaced the civilian government with a military one.

He died in 1939 in a car accident involving a sports car he was driving. His son Faisal succeeded him.
