This question is difficult to answer because the term "separate country" is nebulous. If the question is asking when was the first time that somebody picked up a map and drew the outline of Iraq on it and said, "I will name this territory Iraq", then the answer would be 1918 when the British and French were dividing up former Ottoman territories and Iraq was an oil-rich territory that the British wanted. If your question is about when Iraq declared independence as sovereign nation, then the answer would be 1923 because that is when Iraq was given independence from the United Kingdom. If your question is about when Iraq was finally out of the United Kingdom's sphere of influence and proceeded to make its own policies, the answer is 1954 when King Faisal II was assassinated in a car-bombing and the Ba'ath Party took control of Iraq.

Yes. However, most Iraqis perceive that government as being a British puppet government as opposed to a free and independent state. Most Iraqis claim independence in 1954 when the Kingdom of Iraq was replaced with the Baathist Republic of Iraq (which survived until 2003).
