The Iraqi Republic (Arabic: الجمهورية العراقية, romanized: al-Jumhūrīyah al-'Irāqīyah), colloquially known as the First Iraqi Republic, as well as Qasimist Iraq (1958–1963) and Nasserist Iraq (1963–1968), was a state forged in 1958 under the rule of President Muhammad Najib ar-Ruba’i and Prime Minister Abdul-Karim Qasim. ar-Ruba’i and Qasim first came to power through the 14 July Revolution in which the Kingdom of Iraq’s Hashemite dynasty was overthrown. As a result, the Kingdom and the Arab Federation were dissolved and the Iraqi republic established. Arab nationalists later took power and overthrew Qasim in the Ramadan Revolution in February 1963, and then Nasserists consolidated their power after another coup in November 1963. The era ended with the Ba’athist rise to power in a coup in July 1968.
