They are important political events with a British, which was the decision maker. Iraq passed by pivotal events, when Abd al -Ilah became a trustee on the throne of Iraq after the killing of King Ghazi, as his son, King Faisal II, was a minor. The trustee was the decision -maker and he took all his decisions from British because of his good relationship with it.
