The Turkish Victory that the British Wishes to Forget:

Kut Al Amara

The defeat the British suffered at Kut Al Amara was the second biggest

defeat of the British during WWI after the Gallipoli battle. The Kurdish tribes
in particular, as well as some Arabic and Shia Arabic tribes, contributed great-

ly to this phenomenal victory. Many leading Shia families cooperated with
the Ottomans during the fight.

As the British were attempting to invade Gallipoli with their formidable
military prowess, their plans to invade other parts of the Ottoman territory
were also underway. However, after their humiliating defeat at Gallipoli, they

shifted most of their focus to the Middle East, North Africa and Iraq fronts

and particularly to Baghdad, the heart of the region.

Kut Al Amara was a
great victory of
Turks against the
British.
