Iraq / History / The British Rule

At the end of the war, the League of Nations gave Great Britain a mandate to administer Iraq until it established its own government. Many Iraqis resented the British, and tribal rebellions broke out in northern Iraq in 1920. The British reacted by placing a member of the Hashemite family, Ali ibn Husayn, on the throne as King Faisal I in 1921.
