It is a dramatic illustration of the potential for the Palestine issue to destabilize the Middle East, as well a "close save" in the somewhat neglected theater of the Middle East, which was understood by Churchill to have so much potential for disaster [1]. Iraq had been governed under a British supported regency, since the death of King Feysal in September 1933. Baqr Sidqi, a popular general, staged a coup in October 1936, but was himself assassinated in 1937. In December of 1938, another coup was launched by a group of power brokers known as "The Seven." Nuri al-Sa'id was named Prime Minister. The German Consul in Baghdad, Grobba, was apparently already active before the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, soliciting support for Germany and exploiting unrest. [2]. Though the Germans were not particularly serious about aiding a revolt perhaps, they would not be unhappy if it occurred. In March of 1940 , the "The Seven" forced Nuri al-Sa'id out of office.

Nazi Germany and the Arab World
Nazi Germany and the Arab World This book considers the evolving strategic interests and foreign policy intent of the Third Reich toward the Arabic-speaking world, from Hitler’s assumption of power in January 1933 to 1944, a year following the ﬁnal Axis defeat in and expulsion from North Africa in May 1943. It does so within the context of two central, interconnected issues in the larger history of National Socialism and the Third Reich, namely Nazi geopolitical interests and ambitions and the regime’s racial ideology and policy. This book deﬁnes the relatively limited geopolitical interests of Nazi Germany in the Middle East and North Africa within the context of its relationships with the other European great powers and its policies with regard to the Arabs and Jews who lived in those areas. francis r. nicosia is Professor of History and the Raul Hilberg Distinguished Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Vermont.

The Jews of Iraq since 1932 Abstract The Jewish community of Iraq is of great antiquity; it is one of the oldest organized communities of Jews in a foreign land, going back over a period of 2500 years. The greater part of Jews were uprooted and exiled into Babylonia, at the time of the destruction of the first temple of Jerusalem, when the unfortunate exiles, sighing under the rod of Nebuchadnezzar's soldiers and taskmasters, stopped in this place, hung their harps on the willows of the brook, and wept bitterly at the remembrance of Zion.

The History of Sunni and Shi'i Arab Identities in Iraq, 1861–2014
The Struggle Over the State: The History of Sunni and Shi‘i Arab Identities in Iraq, 1861–2014 Emily K. Bader Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Prerequisite for Honors in International Relations–History under the advisement of Lidwien Kapteijns April 2018 © 2018 Emily K. Bader Bader 2 Acknowledgments I would not have been able to tackle this immense challenge if it were not for the countless people who have supported me along the way. I would like to start by thanking my parents, Wendy and Bruce, my brother, David (and of course, our beloved dog, Cassie) for their love, encouragement, and as always, humor. My family has taught me compassion, tenacity, and resilience—all of which were necessary to finish this thesis. Thank you for always supporting me, even when my ambitions involve words like “conflict” and “reporter.” Thank you to my mom, a Wellesley woman herself, who, when I called her several months ago in a state of panic that I would not be able to finish asked me, “well do you want to finish?” and when I answered of course said, “then finish it!” Thank you to my dad for always answering the phone with a joke, for sending me pictures of the dog, and for reminding me that I need to sleep. Funding my penchant for doing work at Starbucks did not hurt either. Thank you to my friends, both near and far, without whom I would likely have ended up as a ball of stress by now. Thank you for the countless texts and phone calls cheering me on, even when halfway around the world, for taking time out of your own hectic schedules to check in with me, for bringing me homemade smoothies at my thesis carrel, and even offering to do my laundry (an offer that, while greatly appreciated, was not taken up on) and so much more.

“Nazi Germany and the Arab and Muslim World: Old and New Scholarship”
“Nazi Germany and the Arab and Muslim World: Old and New Scholarship” Jeffrey Herf Professor Department of History University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 Email: [email protected] Draft, not for quotation without permission. To be presented on June 6, 2008 at the Historical Society’s 2008 Conference on “Migration, Diaspora, Ethnicity, & Nationalism in History,” Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, Charles Commons Conference Center, “L” Level, 10 East 33rd Street, Baltimore, MD 21218, June 5-7, 2008 The Nazi regime’s efforts to gain adherents in the Arab and Muslim Middle East were brief but intense. My paper today is about those efforts. It is part of a sequel to The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda During World War II and the Holocaust, my study that examined the core themes of the radical anti-Semitism produced by the Nazi regime. In working on that book and also observing, among radical Islamists, the peculiar re-emergence of radical anti-Semitic ideas whose origins lay in Europe, I decided to extend the comparative historical enterprise beyond its Eurocentric limit and to explore the similarities and differences between the Nazi regime’s radical anti-Semitism and that of the radical Islamism that emerged first in the 1930s and 1940s and which has subsequently came to play such an important role in recent history.1 In the immediate aftermath of World War II, in part stimulated by interest in the prominent role played by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin el-Husseini, the Nazi regime’s efforts to spread its ideology to the Arab and Muslim world was the subject of interest at the successor war crimes trials in Nuremberg and in several books.2 It attracted relatively little interest in the subsequent decades.

Students who complete their studies in this school will be sent to the Imperial War College in Istanbul to continue their education, so that they might grauate as officers. The school opens a clear future to its graduates up to the rank of field marshal and it is indispensable for the progress of our countrymen.1 The miliı.ary secondary school was established in Baghdad in 1872.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the German Strategy 1932 - 1939 Dr
Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology ISSN No : 1006-7930 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the German strategy 1932 - 1939 Dr. Taysair Jadoow Alwosh College of Education for Girls Al-Iraqi University, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Iraqi University Abstract After its establishment in 1932, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was distinguished by an important position in the German strategy, due to the desire of its officials to obtain markets in the Arab Gulf region, and their awareness of the importance of that region in all different fields, especially in the economic fields. After coming to power in 1933, the Nazis put in their strategic calculations the need to seek markets and a foothold for Germany under the sun, seek to expand the world markets, and find outlets for their businesses in vital areas of the world, including the Arabian Gulf region. The Nazis found in Saudi Arabia a good market for the disposal of their products from industrial materials, dyes, weapons and other German industries, which would pave the way for them to enter other Gulf markets. The Germans desperately needed Saudi Arabia, in line with the economic policy adopted by the Nazis, based on limiting imports and encouraging exports abroad, to provide hard currency and employ it in other areas, particularly in the fields of military and military industrialization, which they placed in the utmost importance. The objective of the research was to trace Saudi Arabia's position in German strategy, since its founding in 1932 and the arrival of Nazi to power in 1933, overcoming the difficult internal circumstances of Germany that followed the end of World War I, until the outbreak of World War II in 1939, and their attempts at that time to consolidate their influence and achieve their interests in all regions, particularly in areas that had consulates and economic relations with them, such as the Gulf Region, where Saudi Arabia is considered an important vital center.
