Assyrians in World War I

The Ottoman Empire, which controlled much of the Middle East at the time, was allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Assyrians, who were Christians, were seen as a threat by the Ottoman government. As a result, the Ottomans carried out a series of massacres against the Assyrians, killing hundreds of thousands of people.

In response to the Ottoman massacres, the Assyrians formed their own militia and fought alongside the British and Russian forces. The Assyrians played a key role in the British victory in Mesopotamia, and they were awarded the George Cross for their bravery.

Assyrians in World War II

When World War II broke out in 1939, the Assyrians were once again caught in the middle of the conflict. The Assyrians in Iraq were initially neutral, but they eventually sided with the British against the Axis powers. The Assyrians in Iran remained neutral throughout the war.

The Assyrians in Iraq played a key role in the British victory in Iraq. They fought alongside the British forces in a number of battles, including the Battle of Basra and the Battle of Baghdad. The Assyrians also helped to protect the oil fields in Iraq from Axis attack.

The Legacy of the Two World Wars

The two world wars had a profound impact on the Assyrian people. The wars caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Assyrians, and they also led to the displacement of millions of people. The wars also had a lasting impact on the Assyrian identity, as many Assyrians began to see themselves as a distinct nation with their own unique history and culture.
