A revolt against British occupation began in the Middle Euphrates region and spread through rural and urban networks between June and November 1920. Tribal fighters, religious figures, and local communities challenged foreign rule and the planned mandate order. Later national histories often centered the monarchy established in 1921; scholarship based on Iraqi memoirs and correspondence restores the revolt's local leadership and self-rule demands.
