Interests of the Algerian Press in the Iraqi Revolution of 1920.

Abstract

       The French in Algeria worked to issue a set of newspapers to serve their interests and orientations, and these newspapers were distributed in urban areas, especially those with a European majority.  However, few Algerians were familiar with it due to their ignorance of the French language and the high cost of acquiring it. This did not remain so, as work in the French administration helped the emergence of a group in Algerian society, especially in the late nineteenth century, who worked to practice free journalistic work represented in transmitting news and broadcasting advertisements. It later developed and established some newspapers and newspapers in Arabic.

      However, these newspapers had disappeared with the World War, but they appeared strongly after that, and they had received rich material to write in them, including the issues of the Arab East, where the Iraqi revolution that took place in 1920 topped many of its pages.  These newspapers covered most of the events of the revolution from its motives to its stages and then its results and elaborated on the features of English policy in Iraq, especially with regard to the issue of Mosul and the accession of King Faisal to Iraq in 1921.
