Notes
Since the Ottoman era, Iraq has been the focus of attention of European countries. Because of its strategic importance, geographical location, and inherent historical depth, the British-French competition was to obtain political influence and commercial centers in it as one of the most important roads linking the East to India and China, in addition to its great natural resources, the most important of which is oil, which constitutes a pivotal material for the economies of major countries. Thus, it remained within the circle of European interest, even though it was under Ottoman control, and until the royal era, so all of this becomes clear through its position on the First Gulf War. 1980-1988. France's position in support of Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war, especially in the military fields, came to clarify to us the nature of the interests that linked the two countries, with the calls of some European countries not to supply weapons to Iraq. There were contradictions and lack of agreement between the leaders of those countries regarding a joint strategy regarding the ban on arms sales to the warring countries for fear of an oil embargo on the West.
