Abstract

The first research tackles the nature of Iraqi society and the role of clans’ Sheiks towards the policy of British occupation. The second research exposes the attitude of British management towards Iraqi people and its attempt to approximate the clans’ Sheiks for the sake of the British forces and to keep its military and political dignity and to manage the clans for the British’s own economic interests. Therefore the British management kept out rivals to its policy and adducted loyalists. Then it gave them the privileges and tenders, let them take part in the administrative affairs, made special guards for each one and specified a monthly salary for them. Those Sheiks, therefore, became amenable; they took their instructions from the British management. It gave them the responsibility of keeping security and it necessitated them to arrest discrepant and rivals to its management. Also it necessitated them the responsibility of securing the transportation to keep he British’s fighters’ spirits.
