From Ancient Mesopotamia to the recent Western confrontation, Iraq’s history is truly one of the most colorful in the Arab world. It is the birthplace of history itself and home to the world’s oldest civilizations. The Iraqi culture is a rich mix of traditions from all different civilizations that have sprung up from the territory. While many Iraqis identify with the Arabs (Islam is the state religion), the Kurds in the north follow their own drummer. Other ethnic groups in various areas of the country like the Assyrians, the Chaldeans, the Turkomans, the Yazidis, the Jews, and the Armenians, have also preserved their own norms.
The civilized life that emerged at Sumer was shaped by two conflicting factors: the unpredictability of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which at any time could unleash devastating floods that wiped out entire peoples, and the extreme richness of the river valleys, caused by centuries-old deposits of soil.
Nominal Turkish suzerainty imposed in 1638 was replaced by direct Turkish rule in 1831. In World War I, Britain occupied most of the Mesopotamia and was given a mandate over the area in 1920. The British renamed the area Iraq and recognized it as a kingdom in 1922. In 1932, the monarchy achieved full independence. Britain again occupied Iraq during World War II because of its pro-Axis stance in the initial years of the war.
The Iraq banner was received on July 31, 1963, however, it was somewhat changed on Jan. 13, 1991. The takbir in Arabic script was added to the 1963 banner amid the Gulf War on January 13, 1991. Iraq's banner has had four distinct plans subsequent to the formation of Iraq in 1921. The Iraqi banner depends on the Arab Liberation Flag, presented by Egyptian armed force officers included in 1952.
The flag of Iraq consists of three equal sized horizontal stripes - the top stripe is red; the middle one white; and the bottom stripe is black the takbir. The phrase 'God is Great' is written in green and is placed horizontally on the white stripe. There are also three green stars in the stripe.
Three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black; the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning "God is great") in green Arabic script is centered in the white band; the band colors derive from the Arab Liberation flag and represent oppression (black), overcome through bloody struggle (red), to be replaced by a bright future (white); the Council of Representatives approved this flag in 2008 as a compromise temporary replacement for the Ba'athist Saddam-era flag. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Iraq Flag for the future.
