The Middle East (as a region, not a country) was one of the five major theaters of World War I activity. (Others including the Western Front, the Italian-Austrian Front, the Eastern Front, and the Balkan Front).

British forces engaged the Ottomans in what is now Egypt, Israel, Palestine, and Lebanon. The British also created and armed Arab and Jewish Militias to assist them in their attacks against the Ottomans.
