With Turkey and Germany realising oil was also of importance to the Allies, a small detachment of German secret agents, Persian volunteers and Turkish troops covertly in to Iraq to stur up an Arab and Kurdish hatred of the colonial authorities. The Kurds mostly disliked the Turks as much as the British, but the Arabs were ready to move. Erwin Rommel’s wise use of armoured made some initial gains against the ex-colonial forces around Mosul, Kirkuk and Arbil, but the locals were not impressed and stayed neutral. The 12 day invasion finally imploded due to the Kurds not being interested and both The Trucial States, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia liberating Al Basra after some heavy street to street fighting with Persian volunteer forces on the 20th. A minor riot in Kuwait City was quickly squashed on the 23rd by Kuwaiti and Australian forces.
