| Abstract | ||
| The issue of the British occupation of Mosul in 1918 after the signing of the "Mudros" Treaty is considered one of the important events that raised much controversy around it. This issue imposed itself firmly on the political stage after the end of world war 1 directly. It also reflected the interests that drive the major countries to secure them and break away from the agreements and treaties concluded even with allies from other colonialistic countries. It was necessary to cooperate with them at a certain stage of history when Britain found that its interests and ambitions in the Arab region, which was under Ottoman control, will clash with the interests and ambitions of France. This forced Britain to engage with France negotiations to reach an agreement to reconcile their interests and aims. Indeed, the two countries concluded the (Sykes-Picot) agreement on the 16th of May, 1916, which laid the foundations of the strategic political and economic interests of the of the two countries at the expense of national interests and aspirations of the Arabs . Finally , the current information of thesis shows that Britain occupation of " Modros " reflectes to a considerable concern of Britain in Iraq , and the development of its economic , strategic , and political interests in Iraq. | ||
