The entire area was under the control of the Ottoman Empire until the end of World War I when the British were awarded the area as a mandate. At various points in time the Ottomans expanded their conquests to include more and more territory.

All religious minorities (Jews and Christians primarily) were restricted to living in certain areas and had to pay special taxes. In other words, they were all 2nd class citizens. Up until the 19th century things were relatively peaceful but started to go south at that point, with massacres of Jews taking place in Baghdad and Barfurush. Further riots and mob attacks continued all the way through the end of the 19th century.
