It was constructed between 1979 and 1982. It was dedicated to the martyrs of the [[Iran–Iraq War]]. In 1986 the national square of Iraq, [[Great Celebrations square]], was built near the monument, and two other monuments were built close to the square in memory of the matyrs. In 1983, the [[Al-Shaheed Monument]] on the River, was opened and in 1989 the newly built [[Victory Arch]] became the entrances to the square. The monument also has an underground museum. ==Other websites== * [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/baghdad-monuments.htm Baghdad Monuments] {{DEFAULTSORT:Monument to the Unknown Soldier, The}} [[Category:Monuments and memorials]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in Iraq]] {{stub}}
