Answer
The 1963 Ramadan Revolution led to the execution of Abd al-Karim Qasim, who had been the leader of Iraq since 1958. The revolution was led by a group of army officers who were opposed to Qasim's policies, and they quickly took control of the country. Qasim was executed on February 9, 1963, and the new government was led by Abdul Salam Arif.
