Question

During the world war i, what promise did great britain make to former ottoman arab provinces about their status after the war? they would be granted independence. They would become part of the british empire. They would be absorbed by france. They would become the new homeland for jewish refugees.

Answer 1

In the end, the Arabs were duped by the British assurances. In the belief that independence would be their just return for their effort, the Arabs fought and died for the British. In the end, the French and British invaded their country and seized what was left of the empire for themselves.

The Sykes-Picot agreement, which was signed by Great Britain and France more than a year after the deal with Russia, provided for the division of the majority of the Arab territory under the Ottoman Empire into British and French spheres of influence following World War I.

Sykes-Picot did not ensure the establishment of the Iraqi state, and other agreements with Arab leaders like Faysal are what ultimately resulted in the current quagmire.
