What is one reason why nationalism in Arab countries spread in the Mediterranean Basin during and after World War I?

In the century before the start of world war 1 some countries contained many nationalities ruled by a single government?

True. The Austrian Hungarian Empire contained Germans, Hungarians, Romanians, Poles, Checks, Slovaks, and many others. The Ottoman Empire had Turks, Arabs, Kurds, Jews, Greeks, Bulgarians, Arminians, and a whole bunch of others. The Russian Empire had about 60 groups. The British Empire ruled 1/3 of the world. The French Empire ruled 1/4 of the world. Both had thousands of languages.


How were the Arab nations involved in World War 1?

Arabs who were subjects of the Turkish Empire joined the Allies to become independent after the war, with Prince Faisil and British Colonel T.E. Lawrence as their military leaders. Much to Lawrence's disgust, the Allies betrayed the Arabs after the war and occupied most of the Turkish Empire. They tried to occupy Turkey as well, but the Turks threw them out. The country which Faisil eventually got for the Arabs was Iraq, but Kuwait was withheld by the Allies; a decision which led to another war near the end of the 20th Century. Because of Colonel Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia), the Arabs were allowed to fight in their own style which emphasized long-range mobility over the desert. With the Arabs on camels and two Rolls-Royce armoured cars, Lawrence fought the Turks and kept them off balance until General Allenby was ready to attack with his British army from Egypt. The outcome can only be speculated if the Arabs had fought on the side of the Turks instead of with the Allies.

Who attacked the Arabs?

I assume because this question is in the World War I Category that you are referring to the Arab involvement in World War I. Arabs were not attacked in World War I, they rose up against the occupying Ottoman Empire. They attacked the Ottomans, who of course, retaliated. The British and French promised the Arabs that if they joined with the Allies against the Ottomans, that they would be compensated with an Arab State over all of the Middle East. Suffice it to say that they Arabs were not compensated in that way.
