Oil and the Creation of Iraq

- Policy Failures and the 1914-1918 War in Mesopotamia

Bag om Oil and the Creation of Iraq

Off to the sidelines of the brutal western front of World War I was a nasty little campaign by British and India troops sent to secure Persian oil fields. This book describes how the policies of allied military leaders of the time resulted in pushing the Ottoman government into partnership with Germany and Austria during World War I, resulting in its disintegration and loss of its Middle Eastern territories. The book then describes how the political and economic aims of the nations involved in the Mesopotamian campaign influenced the fighting and subsequent creation of Iraq, a new nation with few defensible boundaries ¿ but one sitting atop an almost inexhaustible supply of oil and gas.
