3 окт 1932 г. - Iraq Becomes Independent

Описание:

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, many of the Turkish people departed from the Middle East and returned to their main homeland of Turkey. This left the Levant and the surrounding lands populated by millions of Arabic people, as well as a number of other small ethnic groups.

The areas however were quickly divided up between Britain and France who essentially drew semi-random borders across the Middle East. These territories became Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, and Iraq.

Western interest in this part of the world had grown significantly in the early 20th Century due to the discovery of oil in Iran, and nearby areas, which was essential for running engines and motorcars.

While Syria and Lebanon remained under French control, the British allowed Iraq to form it's own kingdom in October 1932 and became the first Middle Eastern country to become independent after WWI.
