Iraq, a triangle of mountains, desert, and fertile river valley, is bounded on the east by Iran, on the north by Turkey, on the west by Syria and Jordan, and on the south by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It is twice the size of Idaho. The country has arid desert land west of the Euphrates, a broad central valley between the Euphrates and the Tigris, and mountains in the northeast.
A cradle in time, Iraq is said to be the birthplace of the Assyrian and the Babylonian society. The territory became part of the growing Ottoman Empire by the 16th century until the British seized control in 1918 under the Treaty of Sevres. July 14, 1958, saw the fall of the long-running Hashemite monarchy, leading to radical political reforms and the legislation of political parties. After the revolution, the Soviet Union became Iraq’s main commercial and arms supplier.
Nominal Turkish suzerainty imposed in 1638 was replaced by direct Turkish rule in 1831. In World War I, Britain occupied most of the Mesopotamia and was given a mandate over the area in 1920. The British renamed the area Iraq and recognized it as a kingdom in 1922. In 1932, the monarchy achieved full independence. Britain again occupied Iraq during World War II because of its pro-Axis stance in the initial years of the war.
The Iraqi flag was adopted on July 31, 1963, but it was slightly modified on Jan. 13, 1991. The takbir [Allah Akbar (God is great) in Arabic script] was added to the 1963 flag during the Gulf War on January 13, 1991. Iraq's flag has had four different designs since the creation of Iraq in 1921. The Iraqi flag is based on the Arab Liberation Flag, introduced by Egyptian army officers involved in the 1952 coup d'etat, which overthrew the Egyptian monarchy. It has since been the inspiration for the flags of several countries in the region. Iraq was mandated as independent from Britain on October 3, 1932.
Flag is composed of red, white, and black, with three green, five-pointed stars in the middle, along with the Arabic words "God is great." The four colors are Pan-Arab colors, representing the Japanese polo Asia, Muhammad, Abbas, and Fatima, four of the Hashemite dynasty. In addition, red and white symbolize grandeur and peace, black is a symbol of jihad and the victory of San oil, and green symbolizes the land. The three stars are symbols of unity, freedom, and socialism.
Three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black; the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning "God is great") in green Arabic script is centered in the white band; the band colors derive from the Arab Liberation flag and represent oppression (black), overcome through bloody struggle (red), to be replaced by a bright future (white); the Council of Representatives approved this flag in 2008 as a compromise temporary replacement for the Ba'athist Saddam-era flag. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Iraq Flag for the future.
