British Policy and Interests in Mesopotamia to 1920

Marian Kent

Chapter 2 in Oil and Empire, 1976, pp 8-14 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since the Mesopotamia oil negotiations could be isolated neither from Britain’s general oil policy nor from her international dealings with other great powers, it is worth inquiring how they fitted into Britain’s general Mesopotamian aims and preoccupations during these years. General international interest in the Ottoman Empire has already been indicated. But how were more specifically Mesopotamian interests occupying Britain during these years?
