The Levant

The Levant, with it's capital at Baghdad, is under the military occupation of Field Marshal John Dill of the British army.

British Invasion of Mesopotamia, Palestine and Jordan (1936)
In 1936, British Troops, under the command of Field Marshal John Dill, invaded Mesopotamia, Palestine and Jordan due to the denial of oil from the Arab tribes in control of the region. The Arab tribes stood no chance to the British forces, and a few weeks later, the Emirate of Hai'l, the controller of these areas, sued for peace. Britain took Jordan, Palestine and Mesopotamia. However, the Ottomans had several border disputes with Hai'l and after their recent invasion of Kurdistan, consist of the entire Northern border of the Levant. Ottoman troops and British troops clashed near Mosul, and almost lead to War. However the Prime Minister of Britain, not wishing to fight a war with the Ottoman Republic, decided to have a conference with the Ottomans, fixing the border situation. Hai'l was also invited to make a more definitive border between Britain and Hai'l as border clashes with Arab tribes occured in Jordan and Mesopotamia. This concluded the Treaty of Cairo, and the borders as we know it today have been set in stone.
