This debunking the theory of Iraq being a "British creation"

I already know Iraq was a semi independent state during the Ottoman Empire or more specifically during the Mamluk dynasty in ~1700. But didn’t know these much details because I haven’t read more. So, thank you!!

Also the source of the last image is from a book called "politics and society in early modern Iraq" author: Tom Nieuwenuis.
