Description

Explore the complex history of the Mesopotamian campaign during World War I with Oil and the Creation of Iraq by Routledge. This book examines the brutal conflict fought by British and Indian troops to secure Persian oil fields on the sidelines of the Western Front. It moves beyond a simple military history to explain how policy failures during the 1914 to 1918 war shaped the early twentieth century. What began as a campaign many British military planners viewed as a minor operation in a distant theatre turned into a long and costly conflict. This work details the events that led to the creation of Iraq and explains how the results of this specific wartime struggle still influence modern events. It is an essential read for those studying business and economic history or the geopolitical impact of oil.
