1918–1920 Iraqi nationalist occupation of Zor Sanjak
The Occupation of Zor was the 1918–1920 occupation of the Zor Sanjak in Upper Mesopotamia after World War I by Iraqi nationalists representing the Arab government in Damascus led by Emir Faisal. Contrary to the intentions of the Iraqi nationalists, the occupation ensured that the region became part of the modern state of Syria.[1]
The territory was located between the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA) in Syria on the West and British-occupied Iraq (1918–1920) on the East.
