Abstract

Though the Foreign Office Agreement of 19 March 1914 had provided for amalgamation of the major competing interests seeking the Mesopotamian oil concession, the details of this merger had yet to be settled. Indeed, the grant of the concession, the raison d’être of the whole operation, had still to be secured. Bringing both matters to a successful conclusion continued to require the British Government’s close attention, both in defining points of principle and in supervising their material outcome. Breaking in on these arrangements came war, first with Germany, and later also with Turkey. It disrupted negotiations but provided, in consequence, the germ of an alternative settlement.
