Middle Eastern States

Iraq has 3 main religions within that causes problems. The three religion sects are Sunnis, Kurdish, and Shiite. After World War 1 Iraq's country boundaries were determined. They tried to make the three very different religion sects live together in peace but each religion sect wanted power. The British were trying to make a secular government but that didn't work because each religion sect still wanted religion in the government, but they disagreed on whose religion. A dictator ruled Iraq because he had total control so no one had a say in government and therefore couldnt argue for their religion. He made every Iraqi follow the same religion so that angered all the sects that their religion was not being recognised. A solution could be that Iraq is separated into 3 different parts, one for each religion sect. The Kurdish religion sect could have northern Iraq because most of them live in and around Mosul, the Sunni religion sect could have middle Iraw because most of them live in and around baghdad, and the Shiite religion sect culd have southern Iraq because most of them live in and around Bosra. This way the religions don't have to fight for power but rather they can each rule the way they want to be ruled.
