The Sykes-Picot Accord, negotiated in 1916 between Britain and France during World War I, was a secret agreement that delineated their proposed spheres of influence and control in the Middle East following the anticipated defeat of the Ottoman Empire. The accord aimed to divide the region into zones of British and French administration, disregarding the ethnic and sectarian complexities of the area. It later became a source of resentment in the Arab world, as it contradicted promises made to Arab leaders for independence in exchange for their support against the Ottomans. The agreement laid the groundwork for many of the geopolitical conflicts that continue to affect the region today.

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.
Georges Picot died in 1909.
