Answer 1

when Iraq was under the ottoman colonists but in after 1920 when British colonists came as they want to support Iraq by give Iraq independence from turkey. After that they asked the Iraqi king to sign agreement that makes British colony official in Iraq after he refuses they divide Kuwait and they threat him by doing the same thing for ninawa city and give it to turky if he refuses for the second time.

Answer 2

While it is true that Kuwait and parts of southern Iraq were part of the Vilayet of Basra in the Ottoman Empire, the Vilayet of Basra constituted less than 30% of modern Iraq in terms of land area. Iraq was established by the British colonialists who united several different Ottoman territories under one monarchy and they divided Kuwait off of the main group.
