		Regent Abd al-Ilah (who ruled until Faisal II was 18 in 1953) and political strongman Nuri as-Said were strongly pro-British, while Rashid Ali al-Gaylani was an anti-British nationalist who looked to closer ties with Nazi Germany.
		Such was the unpopularity of both the monarchy's foreign and domestic policy by this stage, that a military coup on July 14, 1958, led by a Free Officers' Movement (modelled on Nasser's), was able to sweep it away with little resistance.
		King Faisal II, Abd al-Ilah and Nuri as-Said were all executed and a republic proclaimed.
