Pro-Axis Iraq

Post by Saxondog »

This is one of the more entertaining and considering current events this story has some bearing on today. Saxondog


The Iraq Coup Attempt of 1941, the Mufti, and the Farhud
Prologue - The Iraq coup of 1941 is little studied, but very interesting. It is a dramatic illustration of the potential for the Palestine issue to destabilize the Middle East, as well a "close save" in the somewhat neglected theater of the Middle East, which was understood by Churchill to have so much potential for disaster [1].
