About this item
- Content
Part 5 of the volume (folios 3-137) consists almost entirely of two extensive and successive government reports about trade conditions in Mesopotamia, following the end of the First World War (1914-1918) and the development of British commercial interests in the region. The later report, printed at the Government Press, Baghdad in 1920, is entitled Report on the conditions for trade in in Mesopotamia prepared in Office of the Civil Commissioner in Baghdad . It includes a communication map which outlines the region’s road and railway network. The earlier report, printed by the Government of India at Calcutta in 1919, is entitled The Prospects of British Trade in Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. .
