The Ottoman Empire was allied with the Central Powers who were the enemy of the Triple Entente to which the British belonged, hence, an enemy of the Ottoman Empire was necessarily a friend of the British. Arab nationalists wished to secede from the Ottoman Empire. So this fit perfectly into the plans of the British.

Which side did the US support in the Chinese civil war and why during the cold war?

During the Chinese Civil War, the United States supported the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) led by Chiang Kai-shek. This support was primarily motivated by the desire to contain communism, as the U.S. feared the spread of Soviet influence in Asia following World War II. The U.S. provided military and financial aid to the Nationalists, viewing them as a bulwark against the Communist forces led by Mao Zedong. However, this support ultimately did not prevent the Nationalists' defeat in 1949, leading to the establishment of the People's Republic of China.

How did World War 1 change Irish nationalism?

World War I significantly influenced Irish nationalism by intensifying demands for independence from British rule. The war's aftermath saw a rise in nationalist sentiment, leading to events like the 1916 Easter Rising, which galvanized public support for the cause. Many Irish nationalists felt disillusioned by the British government's failure to grant Home Rule during the war, further fueling the desire for complete independence. Ultimately, the war set the stage for a more radical approach to nationalism, culminating in the Irish War of Independence.
