Iraqi independence movement

The Iraqi independence movement was a struggle during the early 20th century aimed at ending Ottoman and later British control over Iraq. After World War I, Iraq was under British mandate, leading Iraqis to push for sovereignty and self-rule. In 1932, Iraq gained formal independence, establishing a constitutional monarchy. The movement involved political activism, protests, and negotiations to restore full autonomy and national pride. Over time, Iraq sought to define its identity, government, and independence from foreign influence, shaping its modern nationhood.
