In World War 2 was Iraq involved?

Answer 1

Yes, Iraq was involved and was actually invaded as part of World War 2.

In 1941 a Group of Nationalist Iraq generals pulled off a Coup against the regime of 'Abd al-llah with the Aid of German Intelligence. This action forced the British to land and invade Iraq to prevent a Pro-Axis government from taking hold. The battle was fought mostly with obsolete weaponry by both sides but with the British winning with better training and numbers. During the battle German and Italian Aircraft flew raids against the British, disguising their plane in Iraqi colors. This forced the British to also invade French Syria, which was were the German planes were Refueling.
