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.

True. The Austrian Hungarian Empire contained Germans, Hungarians, Romanians, Poles, Checks, Slovaks, and many others. The Ottoman Empire had Turks, Arabs, Kurds, Jews, Greeks, Bulgarians, Arminians, and a whole bunch of others. The Russian Empire had about 60 groups. The British Empire ruled 1/3 of the world. The French Empire ruled 1/4 of the world. Both had thousands of languages.
Arabs who were subjects of the Turkish Empire joined the Allies to become independent after the war, with Prince Faisil and British Colonel T.E. Lawrence as their military leaders. Much to Lawrence's disgust, the Allies betrayed the Arabs after the war and occupied most of the Turkish Empire. They tried to occupy Turkey as well, but the Turks threw them out. The country which Faisil eventually got for the Arabs was Iraq, but Kuwait was withheld by the Allies; a decision which led to another war near the end of the 20th Century. Because of Colonel Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia), the Arabs were allowed to fight in their own style which emphasized long-range mobility over the desert. With the Arabs on camels and two Rolls-Royce armoured cars, Lawrence fought the Turks and kept them off balance until General Allenby was ready to attack with his British army from Egypt. The outcome can only be speculated if the Arabs had fought on the side of the Turks instead of with the Allies.
Jewish Immigration to Palestine increased significantly, causing Arabs to worry about losing their land.

The Arabs revolted against the Ottoman Turks during World War I primarily due to a desire for independence and national identity, as they were frustrated with Ottoman rule, which they perceived as oppressive and increasingly centralized. The revolt was also fueled by promises made by the British, who sought Arab support against the Ottomans in exchange for support for Arab independence. Additionally, growing nationalist sentiments and the desire for self-determination played a significant role in inciting the rebellion against Ottoman authority.

Arab nationalism emerged as a response to the decline of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the Empire weakened, many Arabs began to seek greater autonomy and cultural identity, fueled by a desire for self-determination and a revival of Arab heritage. This movement gained momentum during World War I, particularly with the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule. Ultimately, the collapse of the Empire in 1922 paved the way for the establishment of modern Arab nation-states and the further development of Arab nationalism.
The United Kingdom reached out to Meccan Arabs to start the Arab Revolt.
