The area we now know as Iraq were
three provinces of the turkish empire.
After the First World War the
empire was broken up.
The three provinces were combined as a League
of Nations mandate run by Britain thanks to
the Treaty of Sevres.
Iraqi nationalists rebelled.
Britain tried to crush de 100.000
troops but just gained more
opposition doing so.
In order to "run the country with
collaboration", Britain invited Faisal,
a member of a leading Arab family in
the middle east to become king of
Iraq.
Bitain supported the jewish
state of israel against the
opposition of the arab states
The Iraqi government agreed with the Iraqi
Petroleum Company that profits would be
delivered equally to the Iraqi government and the
British-dominated company.
The monarchy was overthrown. Iraq
became a Republic.
The republic was ruled by the Baath party.
Most of the Baathist were Sunni Muslims,
and although the presence of difference, Shiites
were brought into the new government in a
show of unity.
Saddam Hussein played a key role during this period.

despite British opposition.

It lasted 35 years, a Period within Iraq developed greatly
its economy and education.
Although, there was some improvement, the country was
dominated by a small number of landowners. Most of
the population was poor
Saddam used the wealth to build up education,
health and welfare services.
He was recognised with an award from de UN for creating the
most modern public helth system in the Middle East.
