Notes
The second half of the nineteenth century witnessed the organization of state administration with the issuance of the Ottoman Provinces Law during the reign of Sultan Abdul Aziz Khan (1861-1876) in 1864. This law was applied in Iraq during the reign of the governor of Baghdad, Medhat Pasha (1869-1872). New cities were created, namely Nasiriyah and Ramadi, to be administrative centers. Ramadi later became a district called Al-Dulaim District, to which Fallujah was affiliated. Fallujah enjoyed an important strategic location, so a number of human settlements appeared there before Islam, and it was mentioned in a number of historical incidents in the Islamic eras and also during the Ottoman rule. Travelers in the modern era, starting from the sixteenth century, referred to it as the last stop on the Euphrates river route, Birçek-Fallujah. It seems that this village disappeared in the eighteenth century due to the transformation of transportation routes, but it returned in the nineteenth century after a moving bridge across the Euphrates was erected there and it was made a loyal headquarters for a number of prominent Ottoman figures. In Baghdad, such as the governor of Baghdad, Suleiman Pasha Abu Laila (1749-1762), and Lieutenant General Kazem Pasha, son-in-law of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and commander of the Knights Division. The research also addresses the administrative conditions in the city and its transformation into a district in 1899, its military importance, tribal movements, its economic conditions, the importance of the boat bridge in the transportation line between Baghdad, Damascus and Aleppo, and the extension of telegraph lines, as well as its urban development in the last years of the nineteenth century and the first two decades of the twentieth century.
