The Assyrians in World War One and the 1933 Massacre
The recent discovery of a bundle of documents in the archives of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs has shed more light on the history of the Assyrian Christians of Iraq from the time of the First World War up to the Simele massacre in 1933.

Letters From the Rsaa Archive
In 2004 a collection of thirty-four letters from the Silk Road explorer Sir Aurel Stein was found in the archives of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs and catalogued, although not transcribed or studied.

Nearly a century before the 2003 invasion, the western powers, in the form of the British, were required to form a government of Iraq following the occupation of the region in the First World War. This government was led by personnel and doctrines which came not directly from western states, but from the British Raj of India. This article examines the historical links between Iraq and India, how Indian templates of government were imposed on Iraq…
