Iraqi nationalism

Iraqi nationalism is a political movement and identity that emphasizes Iraq’s unity, sovereignty, and shared national belonging across its diverse communities.

Ottoman Iraq: The provinces and territories of present-day Iraq under Ottoman rule until the First World War. Ottoman administrative divisions and political networks shaped the setting in which Iraqi nationalism emerged.
Nuri al-Said: An Iraqi statesman who served repeatedly as prime minister under the Hashemite monarchy. His pro-British policies made him a target for nationalists who saw the monarchy as insufficiently sovereign.
Pan-Arabism: A political movement advocating unity among Arab peoples and states. Its cross-border vision sometimes competed with the priority of Iraq’s independent sovereignty.
14 July Revolution: The 1958 coup that overthrew Iraq’s Hashemite monarchy and established a republic. The revolution made sovereignty and republican Iraqi identity central to the new state.
Iraqi Constitution of 2005: The constitution adopted by referendum in Iraq in 2005, establishing a federal parliamentary republic. Its federal provisions attempt to reconcile a united Iraq with regional self-government.
British Mandate for Mesopotamia: The League of Nations mandate under which Britain governed Iraq from 1920 to 1932. British rule and its policies helped turn opposition into a shared Iraqi political cause.
Abd al-Karim Qasim: The Iraqi military officer who led the 1958 revolution and governed Iraq until his overthrow in 1963. Qasim advanced Iraqi territorial patriotism while resisting immediate union with other Arab states.
Ba'athism: An Arab nationalist ideology advocating Arab unity, socialism, and national revival. Ba'athism claimed to serve Iraq while subordinating Iraqi identity to a wider Arab project.
Republic of Iraq: The Iraqi state established after the monarchy’s overthrow in 1958. Republican governments used national institutions and symbols to assert Iraq’s unity and independence.
Kurdistan Region: A constitutionally recognized autonomous region in northern Iraq governed by the Kurdistan Regional Government. Its institutions test how far Iraqi sovereignty can coexist with Kurdish self-rule.
