The partitioning of the Upper Middle East between Britain and France under Sykes-Picot Agreement took place in 1917, but the realization of this partitioning in the creation of the Mandates of Palestine, Iraq, and Syria did not happen until 1919. Many other areas of the Middle East came under Imperial Protection even earlier, in the 19th century. Egypt fell under British control in 1882 and the Trucial States (now the United Arab Emirates) fell under British control even earlier, in 1820.
