Anglo-Iraqi Treaty Of 1922
The Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of October 1922 was an agreement signed between the British and Iraqi governments. The treaty was designed to allow for Iraqi self-government while giving the British control of Iraq's foreign policy.

Iraq Levies

The Iraq Levies originated in a local armed scout force raised during the First World War.
