After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East changed substantially.The Arabian Peninsula became completely independent of Ottoman control. The smaller emirates on the peninsula, like Kuwait, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai came under British protection. Other sheikhdoms like Nejd, Hejaz (almost immediately conquered by Nejd), Mutawakkilite North Yemen, and Oman became completely independent.In the Upper Middle East, the British and French created Class A Mandates.

The mandatory system is ultimately responsible for both the current borders of the Upper Middle East and the British embrace of Zionism led to the mass immigration to Palestine that set the stage for Israel's eventual independence.Anatolia was the only area that remained under Ottoman control after World War I, but the Ottomans were overthrown by their own army, led by Commander Atatürk and the Republic of Turkey was established. Turkey, because of its size, location, and will to modernize, became a strong power in the Middle East.
