Sykes - Picot (1916)
In the First World War, Arabs fought Turks alongside the Allies but were clueless about the Allies' postwar intentions. In secret mapping (1915 - 1916) known as Sykes-Picot, Britain and France had carved up the Arab land of the Ottoman Empire. The Russian Czar had already asserted its value as a political and military instrument. Later, all the ills of the 'Arab World' became attached to it. With or without Sykes-Picot, the entire Mideast region was already divided into vying warlords, feudalism, and chieftains alliances.

A Line in the Sand
A fascinating insight into the untold story of how British-French rivalry drew the battle-lines of the modern Middle East. In 1916, in the middle of the First World War, two men secretly agreed to divide the Middle East between them. Sir Mark Sykes was a visionary politician; François Georges-Picot a diplomat with a grudge. They drew a line in the sand from the Mediterranean to the Persian frontier, and together remade the map of the Middle East, with Britain’s 'mandates' of Palestine, Transjordan and Iraq, and France's in Lebanon and Syria.

A Line in the Sand: The Anglo-French Struggle for the Middle East, 1914-1948
“A provocative history . . . helps us to understand why the Arab spring is so important and valuable.”—David Ignatius, National Interest In the twentieth century, while fighting a common enemy in Europe, Britain and France were locked in a clandestine struggle for power in the Middle East. From the first agreement to divide the region between them to the birth of Israel, A Line in the Sand is a gripping narrative of the last gasp of imperialism, with tales of unscrupulous double-dealing, cynical manipulation, and all-too-frequent violence that continues to the present day.
