The impact of the Deir Ezzor revolution on the uprising of Tal Afar and the tribes of western Iraq
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the research was to study the impact of the Deir Ezzor revolution and its introductions in Iraq on the twentieth revolution in Iraq, which was the idea of a long time ago, especially for British mismanagement and the severity of taxes and poor economic and social conditions as well as the promises made by Britain to the independence of Iraq, all factors encouraged Iraqis to carry out the revolution, as the Iraqi leaders in Syria had a major role in the trend towards the revolution, the Iraqis noted that the occupation was serious in looting the country's bounties and that Freedom and independence were just slogans launched by Britain to calm the already volatile situation, and therefore the Iraqis embarked on a comprehensive revolution to change the turbulent situation and the policy of occupation. Methodology: The study relied on the historical research method to analyze the events and factors they derived from the Deir Ezzor revolution to work on mobilizing Iraqis to carry out the revolution, which was the nucleus of the city of Tal Afar and the western regions of Iraq, as well as the use of the historical descriptive approach to describe the battles that took place between the Iraqis and the British occupation forces. Results: The study concluded that the launch of the spark of the revolution from Deir Ezzor towards all Iraqi territory had a major role in the multiple uprisings, whether in Tal Afar or in the western regions of Iraq, which received wide support from all leaders and clans to resist the British occupation, which reneged on all the covenants and promises he made during his occupation of Iraq, and thus led to the twentieth revolution, which gave lessons to generations represented by sacrifice and redemption for the sake of love of the homeland and not to succumb to the whims of colonialism in all The Tal Afar uprising achieved successive successes within days and worried the British side despite its failure, and the western regions of Iraq achieved clear progress against the British occupation, which was represented by the killing of Colonel Lajman, one of the most prominent British leaders, which greatly affected Britain's military reputation, as well as the continuous withdrawals of the British military sectors from western Iraq to the fierce resistance shown by the Iraqis against the British occupation. Recommendations: The study recommends the need to intensify research and studies that shed light on the uprisings that took place before the twentieth revolution in Iraq, as well as studying the external factors that had a direct impact on the launch of the twentieth revolution in Iraq, especially the impact of the Deir Ezzor revolution in Syria
