World War I significantly altered the political landscape of the Middle East, primarily through the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire, which had ruled the region for centuries. The subsequent Treaty of Sèvres (1920) and the Sykes-Picot Agreement (1916) led to arbitrary borders being drawn, ignoring ethnic and sectarian divisions. This sowed the seeds for future conflicts, as various groups found themselves divided across newly created states. Additionally, the rise of Western colonial influence fostered resentment and set the stage for ongoing tensions and instability in the region.
