Britain and the question of the Iraqi Jews, 1948–51
This article sets forth the reaction of Britain, the dominant foreign power in the Middle East, to Iraq's persecution and expulsion of its Jewish community between 1948 and 1951. The Foreign Office believed that Iraq was in violation of the commitments that it had made to the League of Nations in 1932 concerning the treatment of its minority communities, and that Britain had the legal right to take Iraq to the International Court of Justice over …
The revision of Iraq's oil concession, 1949–52
overthrow of the Iranian government, and the great increase of the shah's power in Iran, had fateful consequences for the entire region. Precisely because of their significance, these events have overshadowed the important and contemporaneous negotiations between the Iraqi government and the British-managed and largely British-owned Iraq Petroleum Company for successive revisions of the company's concession. To shed light on these major events in…
Britain and Iraqi barley during the second world war
In May 1941 Britain ousted the pro-Axis regime in Iraq and installed a compliant government in Baghdad. British troops then remained in Iraq for the duration of the war to defend the country against German attack, facilitate the movement to supplies to the Soviet Union, maintain the integrity of the air route to the East, and secure the rich oilfields around Kirkuk from which large quantities of oil flowed through pipelines to Haifa and Tripoli o…
The Twilight of British Ascendancy in the Middle East: A Case Study of Iraq, 1941-1950
Britain's Informal Empire in the Middle East: A Case Study of Iraq, 1929-1941
This is a penetrating account of Anglo-Iraqi relations from 1929, when Britain decided to grant independence to Iraq, to 1941, when hostilities between the two nations came to an end. Showing how Britain tried--and failed--to maintain its political influence, economic ascendancy, and strategic position in Iraq after independence, Silverfarb presents a suggestive analysis of the possibilities and limitations of indirect rule by imperial powers in …
Britain and Saudi Arabia on the eve of the second world war
For the British government in the late 1930s, Saudi Arabia was a country of considerable importance. True, Saudi Arabia was an impoverished nation with virtually no industry, an ill-equipped military establishment, and probably not more than three million inhabitants. However, its territory marched with or was situated near that of several countries which Britain either administered, like Palestine, or was obligated to protect, like Transjordan, …
Britain, the United States, and the Security of the Sa‘udi Arabian Oilfields in 1942
In the spring and summer of 1942 the German military forces in north Africa and southern Russia made significant advances. In June the German army reached EI Alamein, only seventy miles west of Alexandria, while in August the German army reached the outskirts of Stalingrad. As a result of these German advances, Britain, which was the allied country with primary responsibility for defending the Middle East against the Axis powers, became concerned…

The treaty of Jiddah of May 1927
The Anglo‐Najd treaty of December 1915
On the eve of the First World War, Ibn Saud, founder of the present kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was probably the most powerful ruler in the Arabian peninsula. Since his seizure of Riyadh in 1902, he had consolidated his authority in Najd in central Arabia and successfully defended his territory in numerous encounters with the forces of his hereditary enemy to the north, Ibn Rashid, the amir of Jabal Shammar. In May 1913 Ibn Saud had ousted the Turks…
The Philby Mission to Ibn Sa'ud, 1917-18
In December 1915 the British government concluded a treaty with Ibn Sa'ud, the Wahhabi ruler of Najd and the founder of the present kingdom of Sa'udi Arabia, in an effort to utilize his military potential in the war against the Ottoman empire and, more importantly, to secure and strengthen the British position in the Persian Gulf. The latter goal was achieved, but Ibn Sa'ud never played a significant role in the British war effort in the Middle E…
