The Sykes-Picot Agreement, concluded in 1916 during World War I, was a secret diplomatic accord between Britain and France, with the assent of Russia, that outlined the division of the Ottoman Empire's territories in the Middle East. It effectively carved up the region into zones of British and French influence, disregarding the aspirations of local populations for self-determination. The agreement laid the groundwork for modern borders in the Middle East, leading to lasting geopolitical tensions. Its revelation in 1917 fueled Arab disillusionment, as it contradicted promises made to Arab leaders for independence.
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, the Middle East was primarily controlled by European powers, particularly Britain and France. The Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 delineated spheres of influence, with Britain taking control of modern-day Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine, while France administered Syria and Lebanon. This period also saw the establishment of mandates under the League of Nations, which formalized the colonial control of these territories. Nationalist movements eventually emerged, leading to the eventual independence of many states in the region.
