World War 1 did not "end up" in the Middle East. World War 1 had five major fronts where combat occurred on land. Although the Western Front was the most famous in the American and French psyches, it is certainly not the only front. There was the Italian Front, the Eastern Front, the Gallipoli Front and the Middle Eastern Theatre. The British fought the Ottoman Empire in the Egypt-Israel area. The British thought that if they could pull Ottoman attention away from the Bosporus that the would be able to enter Istanbul and defeat the Ottoman Empire. The plan did not have that intended goal because the Gallipoli front became a collosal failure, but it did have the benefit of giving Britain the political capital to take much of the Middle East as Mandates and Protectorates.
