Baghdad (Arabic: بغداد ,بغداد Kurdish: Bexda, Iraqi pronunciation: [bɐʁˈd̪ɑːd̪]) is the capital of the Republic of Iraq. The population of Baghdad, as of 2011, is approximately 7,216,040, making it the largest city in Iraq, the second largest city in the Arab world (after Cairo, Egypt), and the second largest city in Western Asia (after Tehran, Iran). According to the government, the population of the country has reached 35 million, with 9 million in the capital.
Located along the Tigris River, the city was founded in the 8th century and became the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate. Within a short time of its inception, Baghdad evolved into a significant cultural, commercial, and intellectual center for the Islamic world. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions (e.g. House of Wisdom), garnered the city a worldwide reputation as the "Center of Learning".
Throughout the High Middle Ages, Baghdad was considered to be the largest city in the world with an estimated population of 1,200,000 people. The city was largely destroyed at the hands of the Mongol Empire in 1258, resulting in a decline that would linger through many centuries due to frequent plagues and multiple successive empires. With the recognition of Iraq as an independent state (formerly the British Mandate of Mesopotamia) in 1938, Baghdad gradually regained some of its former prominence as a significant center of Arab culture.

► Political Comments Will Be Deleted. Edit: Okay, none of you get to comment. Just relax and watch some old TV. Uploaded because nobody else has. Probably deleted from many DVRs from years ago, now rescued from my tape and presented for your enjoyment. "Discovery Times" was launched in April 2002 as a joint-venture between the New York Times and Discovery Communications. In April 2006 the NYT sold its stake in DT, ending its ownership in the channel. DT became "Investigation Discovery", abbreviated and stylized as ID, on January 27, 2008. (All researched information I didn't know of before because I haven't had cable TV since 2007.)
Fascinating insight in to Iraq in the 1950s. The country is steeped in a rich history and culture. The very beginnings of civilisation started here and where man began cultivating the land and where writing was conceived. It even used to be a tourist hot spot.

Exclusively for the first time from inside the camp known as the "Liberty" that elements of the MKO terrorists were held there for years. Camp Liberty is a former United States military installation in Baghdad which has been used from 2012 to 2016 to house 3000 members of MKO terrorists. The MKO has assassinated over 12,000 Iranians in the last 4 decades. The terrorist group had even killed large numbers of Americans and Europeans in several terror attacks before the 1979 Iran’s Islamic Revolution. Lastly, the United States has helped the last group of the MKO terrorists to escape from Iraq to Albania in September 2016.

Ce documentaire reviens sur Madīnat as-Salām Baghdad fondée en 762, par le deuxième calife abbasside Abu-Jafar Al-Mansur et construite en quatre ans par 100 000 ouvriers. Selon les historiens arabes, il existait à son emplacement plusieurs villages pré-islamiques, dont l'un s'appelait Bagdad. Ce nom est cité dans le Talmud, de deux siècles antérieur. Après la prise du pouvoir par les Abbassides au détriment des Omeyyades de Damas en 750, l'emplacement est choisi comme capitale du califat. Même si, à partir du xe siècle, elle a pour rivales dans cette fonction, d’abord Le Caire (avec la dynastie des Fatimides), puis Cordoue avec le nouveau califat des Omeyyades, elle joue le rôle d’une des capitales de l’islam et le restera jusqu’au milieu du xiiie siècle. Le Bagdad des Abbassides est...

The region now known as Iraq has always been, in many ways, world history's ground zero. From this rich territory sprang the earliest cities and empires, earliest armies, and earliest tyrants. The Kings: From Babylon To Baghdad tells the story of Iraq through the history of its rulers, from Sargon the Great to Saddam Hussein. This feature-length documentary explores the connections and relevance between ancient and modern Iraq and between Iraq and the rest of the planet. Using dialogue drawn directly from primary sources - original texts of ancient records - it depicts events in dramatic, living reenactments. Lush cinematography filmed on location frames the dramatizations and contemporary reportage. And interviews with the world's leading experts on the historical and current relevance ...
On 22 November 2003, shortly after takeoff from Baghdad, Iraq, an Airbus A300 cargo plane owned by European Air Transport ("DHL") was struck on the left wing tip by a surface-to-air missile. Severe wing damage resulted in a fire and complete loss of hydraulic flight control systems. Because outboard left wing fuel tank 1A was full at takeoff, there was no fuel-air vapour explosion. Liquid jet fuel dropped away as 1A disintegrated. Inboard fuel tank 1 was pierced and leaking. Returning to Baghdad, the three-man crew made an injury-free landing of the crippled aircraft, using differential engine thrust as the only pilot input. This is despite major damage to a wing, total loss of hydraulic control, a faster than safe landing speed and a ground path which veered off the runway surface and on...
