The Big Three—Britain, France, and Russia—split up the Middle East after World War I primarily to expand their own imperial interests in the region. The Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 established spheres of influence, dividing the territories of the Ottoman Empire among them. This division aimed to secure strategic advantages and access to resources, while also managing local nationalist movements. The arbitrary borders drawn during this period have since contributed to ongoing conflicts and instability in the region.
