Özet:

The Mosul region, which joined the Ottoman lands after Yavuz Sultan Selim's Battle of Çaldıran, was occupied by the British after the Mondros Armistice signed after the First World War. Mosul's geopolitical and strategic location was of great importance within the framework of Britain's policies. As a matter of fact, with the occupation of Mosul, the British started to develop policies suitable for the demographic structure of the region. Britain, which implemented these policies over the tribes in the Mosul region, wanted to dominate the region with a Kurdish administration under Sheikh Mahmud Barzanci. However, as a result of the situation in question and the reactions against the British occupation, riots started to break out by the tribes in the region. In this study, the policies of the British towards Mosul and the uprisings in the region, the attitude of the British against the uprisings and the measures taken were evaluated.
