resolved later. One British intelligence report dated March 15, 1923 explains
the reason behind this change of rhetoric. The report stated that in the next

couple of years, not only Mosul, but Iraq, Basra, Arabia, Syria and possibly
other Islamic countries, could unite under Turkish hegemony and that it

would be done as the Islamic Union project and that the project had a high

in favor of the British interests. Turkey would clearly have no say in an or-

ganization that it wasn't even a member of. The British deep state, which had
maintained a strong grip over the League of Nations back then, pushed with
all its might to make illegitimate claims over Mosul.

When the issue was eventually referred to the League of Nations, Turkey
asked that the League establish 'the will of the people of Mosul', but Britain
