Why did the monarchy fall in Iraq?
assistant
The monarchy fell because the Iraqi people were tired of the monarchy and wanted a republic. The Iraqi monarchy was the last of the absolute monarchies in the Middle East. It had been established by the British after World War I to replace the Ottoman Empire, which had been dissolved by the Treaty of Sèvres. The monarchy was ruled by King Faisal I, who was a member of the Hashemite family, which had been ruling the country since the mid-19th century.
