Britain Created Iraq to Control Its Oil — Then Installed Its Own King
Britain didn't discover Iraq. It invented it. After World War One, the British Empire stitched together three Ottoman provinces that had never been a single country, installed a foreign king who had never set foot on Iraqi soil, staged a referendum with a 96% approval rate, and locked in control of one of the largest oil reserves ever found. This is the full story of how Iraq was manufactured — not for the people who lived there, but for the petroleum beneath their feet.
From the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement to the Cairo Conference of 1921, from Churchill's air bombing campaigns to the Turkish Petroleum Company's 75-year concession, this video traces the real forces behind Iraq's creation. It's a story of broken promises, imperial cartography, puppet monarchies, and oil — always oil.
The consequences didn't end in 1932 or 1958. The borders drawn in hotel rooms by colonial officials who never lived in the region shaped every crisis Iraq has faced for over a century — and the world is still living with the fallout.

To plunder, to steal, to slaughter, these things they misname as Empire. And where they make a wilderness, they call it peace.

—This historical event sounds VERY VERY VERY similar to a particular Continent , the wealthiest Continent on earth, that European colonial imperialists colonized.
European colonial imperialists didn't discover Africa . Modern Africa is invented.
After the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, the European Imperialist powers mapped out, partitioned and divided Africa, a continent they have never set foot on, among themselves, installed puppet leaders for their own interests —referendum agreements to ship out-fly out Africa’s natural resources and wealth out of Africa. This is the full story of how modern Africa was manufactured — not for the people who lived in it, but for the natural resources and wealth beneath their feet.
The colonial consequences of Africa didn't end after flag independence in the 1950’s or 1960’s.
The colonial borders drawn in a Berlin hotel room by colonial officials who never lived in the region shaped every crisis Africa has faced for over a century — and Africa and the world is still living with the fallout.

There is a universal saying that “every crisis in modern history, Britain is behind it.”
But I say, “everywhere these European Neanderthals set foot in, they only bring and spread misery, pain, headaches, suffering, grief, distress , destruction, death, etc.and
