The study is devoted to the situation after World War I, when Britain was granted a mandate over Iraq to help it advance to readiness for full independence in the San Remo Conference (April 1920). In June 1920 an armed revolt against British rule broke out and quickly spread through the mid-Euphrates regions. The heavily armed and surprisingly determined tribes scored a number of early and significant successes. The crushing of the revolt involved besides cost of lives the expenditure of huge amounts from the British Treasury. Mr. Churchill, in taking charge of Near and Middle East affairs, called a conference to Cairo on March 1921. The questions considered by the conference included as problems concerning Iraq the immediate reduction of British expenditure in Iraq with the consequent revision of the policy involving: 1. future relationship of Iraq to Great Britain; 2. person of the future ruler of Iraq; 3. nature and composition of the defence forces of the new state which was to assume an increasing share of its own defence.
