Baghdad is the capital and largest city of Iraq, situated along the Tigris River. Founded in the 8th century, it became a major cultural and intellectual center during the Islamic Golden Age. The city's strategic location made it a hub for trade and scholarship, attracting many scholars and artists from different parts of the world.
Throughout its history, Baghdad has experienced numerous conflicts and changes in governance, particularly during the Abbasid Caliphate, when it reached its peak prosperity. The city has been the center of significant events, including invasions, rebuilding efforts, and modernization processes in the 20th century, contributing to its rich and complex history.
