Abstract

Iraq, called officially the Republic of Iraq, is a parliamentary, federal republic according to the Constitution of Iraq. This country consists of eighteen provinces; the capital of Iraq is Baghdad. Iraq is overlooking the Arabian Gulf; it is one of the West Asian countries; and this state is a member in the Arab League and in the Organization of Islamic Countries. Iraq is an oil-rich country and one of the founders of the OPEC. Iraq is considered as the cradle of the first civilizations in the world, Sumer civilization, which included all the space between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and extended its borders to Syria and Persia (Iran today). Its authority extended to the southeast region of Anatolia (now Turkey) also. The Iraqi civilizations of Mesopotamia connect ancient civilizations in Egypt and India. Iraq has been home to many civilizations, the most important of the Sumerian, Babylonian, Chaldean, Assyrian, Medes, Seleucids, the Parthian Empire, Empire and Romania, and the Sassanids, and Manathira, the Caliphate, and the state of the Umayyad, Abbasid state, and the Mongols, the Safavid state, and Afsharid Dynasty, and the Ottoman Empire, then the British Mandate, and then the Kingdom of Iraq, at the end the republic.
