Battle

When Sheikh Ahmad, under the command of his brother Mohammed Sadiq, sent a force to defend against the attack on Acre, on November 4, 1919, Colonel Bill and Captain Scott were killed in an ambush after these incidents the British counted Sheikh Ahmed as a major enemy to Britain and started to encourage the Assyrians against the Barzanis, but they were unsuccessful. On March 3, 1920, the San Remo Conference declared Iraq under British rule, later in the decision of League of Nations Iraq became under the British rule which led to the National Revolution in Iraq.

On 25 October 1920, in talks between Sir Percy Cox, the British Semitic envoy, with Abdul Rahman Naqib, it was agreed upon to form the first Iraqi interim government, which consisted of eight ministers and twelve ministers without ministries which did not include any Kurds, on August 23, 1921, King Faisal son of Hussein was appointed king of Iraq. In 1925, the Iraqi government established the first police station in Barzan as a first step to consolidate its power, Sheikh Ahmed Barzani though that this attempt of the government was for the purpose of providing service and giving importance to the area, but the government had another purpose.
