Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. A History of Modern Middle Eastern Rulers, Rebels, and Rogues. Stanford University Press, 2016. p.152. Beginning in 1916 in Mecca then Xxxx Xxxxxx led the Arab revolt. With the help of the British and specifically the famous “Xxxxxxxx of Arabia” the campaign was a success. He changed the narratives when appropriate, from Islam to Arab Nationalism, depending on his audience. Gradually, his army took Ottoman Arab territory and on October 1, 1918 set up a fully Arab government in Damascus. This was the end of the merry relationship between these Arabs and the West. The British and the French disregarded their promises of a unified Arab state and the Americans went against their public espousal of self- determination and the fertile crescent was carved up into British and French mandates according to the parameters set earlier by the Xxxxx-Xxxxx agreement. Iraq was granted to the British. It is important to note that the drawing of Iraq’s borders was such that the British could control and exploit any oil found in the area. This helps to explain why, for example, towns like Erbil and Sulaymaniyah were brought into the fold despite the largest demographic group in each of these towns being Kurdish. British rule was initially rejected by the Iraqi people. Rebellions sprouted up across Mesopotamia. These rebellions were politically oriented, not ethnically nor religiously. For example, the 1920 Iraqi revolt against the British brought together various tribes and classes across ethno-religious boundaries in fighting the British.13 Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish, and Tyari tribesmen played an important role in this failed rebellion, highlighting the fact that the so-called ethno-cultural mosaic that Iraq once was, was very much still intact at the 13 Atiyyah, Xxxxxxx X. “Iraq: 1908-1921 A Socio-Political Study”.

Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. A History of Modern Middle Eastern Rulers, Rebels, and Rogues. Stanford University Press, 2016. p. 185. 1B: The Iraqi Monarchy Xxxxxx was initially only granted limited power. The British expected this concession to be enough to quell the Arab frustrations at the time. The Iraqi government began to be characterized by a series of maneuvers for Xxxxxx to maintain power and a strong relationship with the British. He placed Xxxxxxxxx officers, who had rebelled on his behalf, in high positions in the military. He gave Ottoman bureaucrats a stake in Iraq’s success and placed them in high positions in the bureaucracy. He also rewarded xxxx Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx for not participating in the rebellion against him with positions in parliament. He also pitted Shia tribes against one another by rewarding those who had not rebelled against him and punishing those who did. As Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx puts it “Xxxx Xxxxxx proved adept at shifting these groups into and out of power in order to guarantee that no coalition could grow powerful enough to rise against him. He exploited the fact that these disparate groups did not necessarily agree on all elements of governance”.15 This is the mark of an adept albeit morally questionable ruler. Xxxx Xxxxxx and the British continued their grip on Iraq with the Iraqi Constitution of 1924. This constitution, on the surface, represented a constitutional monarchy. It included democratic checks and balances. The reality was, however, that the constitution included many opportunities and provisions for the King and the British to exercise their will as they pleased. Also, importantly, despite clauses promising equality before the law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and other rights for Iraqi citizens, in practice, few of these
