When did Iraq come into existence?
Iraq didn't exist until after World War 1. The Middle East once belonged to Iran under the Persian Empire. This changed after Turkey (Ottoman Empire) defeated the Persians and gained all the land. This was hundreds of years ago; but in more recent times, during WW1 the British fought with the Turks to get the Middle East. They won and the Turks were forced to give the land to the British, that's when Iraq was formed. The first article below is a good article where I got most of my information from. Also check out the second article from the BBC as a more reliable source.
