Operation Anicetus (10 December 1941 – 22 January 1942) was a major battle during the Middle East Campaign, and the last Operation to be undertaken in the Middle East before Aliied Forces cross the border into Afghania. Involving the cities of Baghdada and Seleucia, the two towns served as the last major cities under Imperial control.
The operation was a success for the Allies, which caused the Imperials to effectively end all their domination in the Middle East and retreating into Afghania. The loss of the Middle Eastern Oil Fields was a direct blow to the Imperial War Machine.
