Iraq’s position In ContemporaryAmerican Strategy

Anyone who thinks that the interests of the United States of America in Iraq are linked to a specific era or event is mistaken. Any return to the history files reveals to us an important fact that these interests date back to the late nineteenth century. In 1889, the American government decided to appoint a consul in Baghdad. Since that time, Iraq occupies an advanced position in the American strategy, so that it is considered in the American political documents a key country and an important key country of the keys to the Middle East. On April 9, 2003, the Americans and their British and other allies achieved the occupation of Iraq and the dismantling of its army, security, administrative, and social institutions. This research is an attempt to clarify Iraqs position in contemporary American strategy from the late nineteenth century, through the years of the First and Second World Wars and beyond until the beginning of the first years of the twenty-first century.
