Anglo-Iraqi Treaty (1930)

1930 · 20th century

The Anglo-Iraqi Treaty of 1930 was an alliance signed between Britain and the Kingdom of Iraq, then under a League of Nations mandate. It provided for Iraqi independence once Iraq joined the League, which happened in 1932, but kept close British influence, including air bases at Habbaniyah and Shaibah and the right to move troops across the country. Many Iraqi nationalists opposed it.
