The borders delineated by the implementation of Sykes-Picot were not reflective of the actual ethnic and religious groups on the ground. Some groups were split between different states, like the Kurds, between French Syria, British Iraq, and Turkey, and some groups were pushed together unnaturally into states like Syria, which houses Alawites, Sunni Muslims, Druze, Christians, and Ismaili Shiite Muslims.
