| | | | | Diwan: Encyclopedia II - Nuri as-Said - Coexistence with the regent in the 1940s In April 1941, the pro-Axis elements seized power, installing Rashid `Ali as prime minister. Nuri fled to British-controlled Jordan; his protectors then sent him to Cairo, but after occupying Baghdad brought him back in October and he was reinstated as prime minister, a post he would on this occasion retain for over two and half years. However, from 1943 on, the regent gained more power in selecting ministers and started to act with greater independence.
The regent's brief flirtation with more liberal policies in 1946 did little to st ...

| | | | | Diwan: Encyclopedia II - Nuri as-Said - The regime resists growing political unrest In November 1946, an oil workers’ strike culminated in a massacre of the strikers by the police, and Nuri was brought back as premier. He briefly brought the Liberals and National Democrats into the cabinet, but soon reverted to the more repressive approach he generally favoured, ordering the arrest of numerous communists in January 1947. Those captured included party secretary Fahd. Meanwhile, both Nuri and the regent increasingly saw the unpopular link with Great Britain as the best guarantee of their own position, and accordingly set ab ...

| | | | | Diwan: Encyclopedia II - Nuri as-Said - Prime minister for the first time 1930 In 1929 the King proposed appointing him as prime minister, but the British objected. In 1930, they were persuaded, and he took office as prime minister for the first time. As he had done in his previous appointments, he quickly exercised his powers to appoint supporters to government positions. But this resulted in a weakening of the King's own base in the civil service, and the previously close relationship between the two men began to suffer. One of his earlier acts was to sign the 1930 Anglo-Iraqi Treaty, an unpopular step since it essen ...

| | | | | Diwan: Encyclopedia II - Nuri as-Said - Initial positions under the new Iraqi monarchy Nuri al-Sa'id headed the Arab troops who took Damascus for Faisal in the wake of the retreating Turkish forces in 1918. After the French deposed Faisal from the Syrian throne in 1920, Nuri followed him to Iraq, and in 1922 became first director general of the Iraqi police force. He used this position to fill the force with his placemen, a tactic he would repeat in subsequent positions and which was one of the bases of his considerable political power in later years.

| | | | | Diwan: Encyclopedia II - History of Brittany - Modern Times Nineteenth-century Brittany acquired a reputation for timeless autarky, as Romantics developed an image of the province as a bastion of peasant traditionalism, religious festivals, and wild landscapes. At the same time, Breton life became increasingly integrated with that of the rest of France, particularly under the Third Republic.
Brittany has had its own regionalist and separatist movements which have experienced varying success at elections and other political contests. Modern Breton nationalism developed at the end of the 19th an ...

The collective graves are placed in shell middens without any particular order. Some graves show evidence of postmortal manipulations of the bones. There are single burials and empty graves (cenotaphs) as well. The graves are covered with stones, a hearth or antlers forming a sort of dome.

| | | | | Diwan: Encyclopedia II - Vizier - Art In contemporary literature and pantomime, the "Grand Vizier" is a character stereotype and is usually portrayed as a scheming backroom plotter and the clear power behind the throne of a usually bumbling or incompetent monarch. A well-known example of this is the sinister character of Jafar in the Disney movie Aladdin who plots and uses magic to take over the entire Kingdom of Agrabah under the nose of the nation's naïve sultan, just as Jaffar in the 1940 movie The Thief of Bagdad dethroned his master, caliph Ahmad. Others include the comic book character Iznogoud and the villains of the video games Prince ...
