المسألة الكردية في المعاهدات البريطانية - العراقية 1922 - 1930

Abstract

The emergence of the Kurdish issue and its repercussions in Iraq was not a coincidence, but it had ancient historical roots, but it emerged clearly after the British occupation of Iraq. Since it was decided to place Iraq under the British Mandate according to the decisions of the San Remo Conference in April 1920, especially after the manifestations of Iraqi expression rejecting the British occupation became clear, and the rejection of British policy was embodied in the twentieth revolution, which cost Britain a lot. In order to mitigate discontent and contain the situation in Iraq in a manner consistent with the interests of Britain, and to show it the appearance of an allied country, the British authorities drafted the content of the mandate in the form of a treaty defining the relationship between the two Iraqi-British states. Especially after the establishment of the monarchy in Iraq headed by King Faisal in 1921, when it appeared about the intention of the London government to conclude an alliance treaty with the Iraqi state, at a time when the Kurdish issue was one of the main pillars in the Iraqi issue, so my choice came to the topic (the Kurdish issue in The shadow of the Iraqi-British treaties 1922-1930). It is the period between the conclusion of the first Iraqi-British treaty in 1922 until the independence of Iraq according to the treaty of 1930, as this period marked an important stage in the British political plans in defining its relations with Iraq and how it dealt in its policy towards the Kurdish issue.
