Iraq
Throughout 1919 and 1920 there are constant risings in northern Iraq, with British military officers and officials being killed.

Wing-Commander Arthur Harris (later known as "Bomber Harris" for his role in the destruction of Dresden in World War Two -

Britain decides to replace direct colonial rule with an Arab administration which it hopes will serve British interest -
