The Arabs fought against the Ottoman Empire during World War I primarily due to a desire for independence and self-determination. The Ottomans, who were predominantly Turkish, had imposed centralized control over Arab territories, leading to discontent among Arab nationalists. Additionally, the British promised support for Arab independence in exchange for their revolt against the Ottomans, as outlined in the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence. This alliance fueled the Arab revolt, culminating in efforts to establish an independent Arab state.
Nationalism in Arab countries spread during and after World War I primarily due to the weakening of the Ottoman Empire, which had long ruled the region. The war catalyzed a desire for self-determination among Arab populations, fueled by the promise of independence from colonial powers made by Western nations, such as the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence. Additionally, the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which divided Arab territories between Britain and France, ignited resentment and a stronger sense of Arab identity, leading to increased nationalist movements across the region.
