Abstract: Abstract The last sixteen months in the twenty-year period covered by this study of the British Government’s interest in the Mesopotamian oil concession demonstrate the way in which the threads of the preceding years had by now drawn together. The oil question was greatly affected by the conclusion of the armistice with Turkey on 30 October and with Germany on 11 November 1918. Not only was Britain a victorious power, whose friendship was therefore additionally valuable to an international oil combine, but in addition there were now material quid pro quos, such as Mesopotamian oil, to include in the bargaining.
