The United Kingdom signed a treaty with Iraq in October 1922 defining the relationship between the two sovereign states. This treaty imposed limits on the sovereignty of Iraq and maintained British interests in the country. In 1925, the area around Mosul, which was rich in oil deposits, was ceded to Iraq from Turkey.

  • Operation Dragoon Question & Answer Session with YCHC Member Richard Robinson Conducted by Dr
    Operation Dragoon Question & Answer Session With YCHC member Richard Robinson Conducted by Dr. Adam Bentz, Assistant Director, YCHC Library & Archives While most WWII buffs know the significance of 15 Aug. 1945, York Countians should take special note of what happened exactly one year before V-J Day, the beginning of Operation Dragoon. In June, Operation Overlord had sent Allied armies hurtling through tough German defenses in northern France. Planners decided to open a second front in southern France with a daring invasion codenamed Anvil, later Dragoon. York's own Lt. Gen. Jacob L. Devers commanded the newly-formed Sixth Army Group, a unit that would execute a nearly-flawless invasion and speed across southeastern France. Nazi defenses quickly collapsed in the face of Devers' well-organized troops, and military historians debate to this day whether Devers could have 'won the war in '44' had he been allowed to continue across the Rhine into Germany in November. Rich Robinson, York, is a familiar sight in the Library & Archives and has been researching his own biography of Devers for several years. He shared his thoughts on the 76th anniversary of the invasion. 16 Aug 44 Allied ground forces landed by LCIs and invasion barges storm inland through a breach in an enemy beach defense wall. The wall, 8 feet high, made of concrete and steel, was blasted open by assault engineers. From the Devers Collection, YCHC Library & Archives A: What was Operation Dragoon? How did it work in conjunction with Operation Overlord and fit into the broader Allied strategy? R: Operation Dragoon refers to the Allied invasion of southern France on August 15, 1944.

  • Fighting Against the French: Australians in the Allied Invasion of Lebanon and Syria, 1941
    Fighting against the French: Australians in the Allied invasion of Lebanon and Syria, 1941 Daniel Seaton Introduction In the nearly three quarters of a century since the end of the Second World War, popular memory of Australia’s involvement in the conflict has been shaped around several key cornerstones of engagement. Tobruk, Kokoda, and Singapore, for example, are easily understandable stories of heroism and sacrifice, which have been etched into Australian national consciousness as symbols of the nation’s contribution to the war. These symbols provide unambiguous displays of the courage and determination shown by Australian service personnel, fought against easily recognisable enemies: the Germans and Japanese. Where areas of conflict did not fit into these clear-cut criteria, they often became subsumed by the popular narrative of the war. An example of this is the Lebanon-Syria campaign of June–July 1941, fought against pro-Axis Vichy French forces, which has remained a far less well-known and understood area of Australian engagement to this day.1 Though the campaign was a relatively minor event in the grand scheme of the war, it held great significance for the men, mostly of the recently-formed 7th Australian Division, who fought there. In his 1989 memoir, Corporal Anthony MacInante, a veteran of the campaign, wrote that “very little credit, if any, has been given to the Commanding Officers and troops who secured this vital northern flank of Lebanon- Syria … In Australia we hardly get a mention”.2 MacInante’s complaints may have been

  • Politics of Forgetting: New Zealand-Greek Wartime Relationship
    Politics of Forgetting: New Zealand-Greek Wartime Relationship Martyn Brown Bachelor of Arts Graduate Diploma Library Science Graduate Diploma Information Technology Post-Graduate Diploma Business Research Master of Arts (Research) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History Philosophy Religion and Classics Abstract In extant New Zealand literature and national public commemoration, the New Zealand experience of wartime Greece largely focuses on the Battle of Crete in May 1941 and, to a lesser extent, on the failed earlier mainland campaign. At a politico-military level, the ill-fated Greek venture and the loss of Crete hold centre stage in the discourse. In terms of commemoration, the Battle of Crete dominates as an iconic episode in the national history of New Zealand. As far as the Greeks are concerned, New Zealand elevates and embraces Greek civilians to the point where they overshadow the Greek military. The New Zealand drive to place the Battle of Crete as supporting its national self-imagining has been achieved, but what has been forgotten in the process? The wartime connection between the Pacific nation and Greece lasted for the remainder of the international conflict and was highly complex and sometimes violent.
