Following World War I, many Arabs felt betrayed by the West due to the broken promises made during the war. The McMahon-Hussein Correspondence suggested support for Arab independence in exchange for their revolt against the Ottomans, but this was overshadowed by the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which divided Arab lands between Britain and France. Additionally, the establishment of the Balfour Declaration in 1917, which favored a Jewish homeland in Palestine, further exacerbated feelings of betrayal and disillusionment among Arabs. This perceived duplicity fueled resentment towards Western powers and shaped the region's political landscape for decades.
