How did Iraq become a state?
The modern country of Iraq is a result of the British Empire and how the territories of the Ottoman Empire were divided after World War I. In 1919, the British established the Class A Mandate for Iraq. The British installed a Hashemite monarchy in Iraq and the country was given nominal independence in 1932, but British troops were still stationed in the country. In 1941, Iraqi Arab Nationalist leaders (Rashid al-Gaylani and the Golden Square) ejected the British and the Iraqi Hashemite monarchy for short while, before they both returned later in the year. In 1947, British troops began their withdrawal, which finalized in 1954.The monarchy was overthrown in 1958 by General Abd el-Karim Qasim who ruled Iraq completely independently of the British for the first time in Iraq's history. Iraq was ruled by military generals like Qasim until 1968. At that point, the Ba'athists led by Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr performed a coup d'état and established the Ba'athist Iraqi State, which was first ruled by al-Bakr and then by his lieutenant Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq until 2003, when he was removed by the US-led Coalition and current Republic of Iraq was instated in 2006. Iraq is currently considered a failed state by many in political circles since the Shiite-majority government does not effectively exert control over both the Kurdish Regional Government in the North and the Islamic State Government in the northwest.

When did Iraq become an independent kingdom?
This question is difficult to answer because the term "separate country" is nebulous. If the question is asking when was the first time that somebody picked up a map and drew the outline of Iraq on it and said, "I will name this territory Iraq", then the answer would be 1918 when the British and French were dividing up former Ottoman territories and Iraq was an oil-rich territory that the British wanted. If your question is about when Iraq declared independence as sovereign nation, then the answer would be 1923 because that is when Iraq was given independence from the United Kingdom. If your question is about when Iraq was finally out of the United Kingdom's sphere of influence and proceeded to make its own policies, the answer is 1954 when King Faisal II was assassinated in a car-bombing and the Ba'ath Party took control of Iraq.
