Abstract:
The study of "The social developments in Hilla - from 1958 - 1968 " is one of the topics that deserve to be studied because academic studies did not pay much attention to the social history only recently. The attention was limited to the political and economic aspects despite the great importance of the social aspect as it touches the social life in its details clearly and directly. Therefore, I chose the study (The Social Developments in Hilla 1958 - 1968) as the subject of my thesis in order to study certain aspects of the history of social status of Hilla. The reason for making the duration of the research starts in 1958 was the revolution of 14th of July of the same year, which ended the reign of the monarchy, which lasted for 37 years. The revolution came with social, economic and political laws and reforms in the interest of the people by improving the status of the peasants and reducing feudalism and standing by students and workers and improve their living conditions in addition to the cultural and urban development witnessed by the city during that period. The reason for ending the search in 1968 was the white coup on July, 17 of the same year by Baathi leaders and headed by Ahmed Hassan al - Bakr.The thesis consisted of an introduction, four chapters and a conclusion. The first chapter deals with the general situation in Hilla before the revolution of July 14, 1958, the first section includes the social life of the Hilli community. The second section deals with the economic life while the third section includes the position of the political forces from the economic and social conditions.The second chapter is devoted to the study of the social relations in rural areas. The first section deals with the social relations in rural areas. The second section includes the social customs and traditions. The third section includes the role of women in society. The fourth section referred to the law of agrarian reform, while the fourth section is about the agricultural associations. The fifth sections deals with the migration from the countryside to the city.The third chapter was entitled the social developments in the city. The first topic dealt with the role of the middle classes in Hilla. The second topic dealt with the role of the labor movement. The third topic dealt withthe religious and archeological milestones. The fourth topic dealt with the role of culture in the development of the society. The fifth section addressed the urban development and recreational facilities in Hilla. The fourth chapter reviewed the social services in Hilla. The first section deals with educational services. The second section is devoted to the health services and its development, and the third section deals with the communication and transportation services.We concluded that the social life in Hilla during the period 1958 - 1968 witnessed important developments and changes that moved the Hilli society from the recession that existed during the royal era (1921 - 1958) to the state of an open and developed society on the world, which was witnessed by the Western world. The revolution of July 14, 1958 confirmed that its mission is to provide social services to the deserving Iraqi people in cities, villages and rural areas, in addition to the development of educational institutions due to the state interest in the education sector and increasing its expenditure on educational services. That led to educational development and the increase in the number of students at all levels, as well as for teachers, and the disappearance of old fashioned ways of teaching during the period of research due to the spread of schools, and applying of compulsory education, free books and stationery as well as the promotion of cultural and scientific level through scholarships outside Iraq. The Scientific and literary meetings played a role in the social and human development through social and cultural associations. They provided various services to the community. Several newspapers and magazines also participated in raising awareness, the advocating of reformation as well as addressing negative situations and improving social conditions for better. Health conditions during the period of research have been developed due to the expansion of the establishment of health institutions like hospitals and clinics, in addition to the concern for maternal and child health. This is reflected in the Institute of Motherhood and Childhood in Hilla. Life and health statistics showed an increase in the number of live births at the expense of the dead. A significant proportion of children's diseases and obstetrics for women had been dealt with also
