Al-Jazeera Front (Anglo-Turkish War, 1918–1923)

Al-Jazeera Front was established between the Euphrates river and the Iranian border with a decree published on June 26, 1920. Its center is Diyarbakır. It also included the 13th Army of the period. Nihad Anılmış was appointed as the head of the Front. On 3 November 1921, Nihat Pasha was dismissed and Cevat Çobanlı was appointed instead.

The easternmost part of the Al-Jazeera Front was under British influence, the west was under French influence, and the desert area surrounding the southern part was under British and French influence. It was established to prevent Kurdish activities in the region and to include the Mosul Province within the national borders, as well as to support the resistance to the British occupation in Northern Iraq.
