studding iran-iraq war in foreign encyclopedias

this essay tries to study the reflection of iran- iraq war in four relatively important and referable encyclopedias (wikipedia, inkarta, conflicts encyclopedia, and britanica). it compares these four encyclopedias' towards the origins of the war, the aggressor, great powers' role, and its results. obviously, knowing other countries' (specially their scientific scholars') attitudes about the iran- iraq war is of great importance in studding and then correcting their attitude toward the war.
