One of those nations fought a loosing insurgency(even equipped with Nazi Aircraft) with Nazi backing during WWII with the Brits. Care to guess which country it was?

It was Iraq.

You are correct that the German special forces (Brandenburgers) incited a revolt against the British. However, there were no German combat aircraft anywhere near Iraq. It was Britain's total air superiority that made their victory possible ( see F. Kurowski's "The Brandenburgers" for more on the operation).
