  • Nuri al-Said served as prime minister of Iraq 14 times between 1930 and 1958.
    Self-made, ambitious and successful, he forged strategic alliances with Iraqi royalty and, significantly, with Britain.
    Upon signing the 1930 Anglo-Iraqi Treaty, he negotiated a deal which gave Britain control of much of Iraq's resources, even after independence; his critics believed this brought him too close to the British Axis.
    His many terms as prime minister were interrupted by military coups, royal deaths, political assassinations and forced exile. In the end, Nuri al-Said suffered a brutal death at the hands of protesters during the 1958 Iraq coup.

    Why did Britain not stand with the king and Nuri Saeed? They were their friends. If Britain was the one that gave approval for the coup and the killing of the king and Nuri Pasha, and the evidence is.. Why did Britain end the revolution in 1941 and did not end this revolution? The answer is clear: Britain wanted Iraq as an arena to settle international scores in the hands of its agent, Abdul Karim. Qassem

      Go and read history. Leader Abdul Karim Qasim was not an agent of anyone. He was an independent, patriotic Iraqi. Britain and America conspired against the revolution from the first day of its establishment by landing in Lebanon and Jordan to invade Iraq, but this did not happen because of the Soviet response and the dangers of the outbreak of a third world war.

      @@iraq.1958 abdel karim qasim was a communist sympathizer and he opened relations with the Soviet Union in 1959, which caused the Mosul uprising by Baathists and Pan Arabs. Sure he was not a dog of west, but he was a dog of the east.

      It was Britain’s plan to get rid of the Iraqi royal family,Nuri Pasha and the whole monarchy in Iraq…the Brits were happy about this coup because it was their plan

      You either read the wrong history book or just like a parrot repeating what ignorants say.. if he was a traitor he wouldn't have nationalised oil and stopped the big foreign oil companies from stealing iraqi oil.. and thats only 1 of the many good things he did in his term before the CIA trained agent (aka Saddam Hussein) excuted him...

      Have you seen pictures of Nouri Al-Saeed's body? Did you hear what they did to her? Whatever he did didn't deserve what they did to him
