Lepus,

Iraq was never a British Protectorate - British involvement in Iraq came about as the result of a mandate under the League of Nations between the years 1919 and 1932.

Kuwait was a British Protectorate, established by agreement between Kuwait and Britain, during a time while the Ottoman Empire was in existence. Brtish involvement in Kuwait lasted from 1899 to 1961.
