Egypt was already a British protectorate and it formalized this as we entered in to World War I and they don't get their independence until 1922.발음듣기
대기중
The British don't just hand it to them, they fight for this, they have a revolt against the British rule and they win, so you have an independent Egypt in 1922.발음듣기
대기중
The British also had Kuwait as a protectorate and this is from the 1800's and they don't get their independence until 1961.발음듣기
대기중
We also know that the British were eager to get the help of the Arab's, to essentially convince the Arab's to revolt against the Ottoman's so that they could successfully fight the Ottoman's on the Sinai and Palestine fronts and on the Mesopotamia front.발음듣기
대기중
In particular, they tried to convince this gentleman, Hussein bin Ali, who at the time, at the beginning of World War I is the Sharif of Mecca.발음듣기
대기중
They say look if you help up us we will give you and independent state, an independent Arab state that would include all of this territory except for maybe, except for maybe this region right up here.발음듣기
대기중
So, with those British assurances he agrees to commit his forces to fight in the Arab revolt, to rise up and to help the British.발음듣기
대기중
From that point on in 1916 where you have the Arab revolt, he declares himself as the King of the Hijaz.발음듣기
대기중
It's kind of the west coast of the Arabian peninsula and it contains the very influential towns of Mecca and Medina.발음듣기
대기중
What happened shortly after, so in 1916 he declares himself King of the Hijaz but then you had another group, the Saudi's in the Nejd region, which is this area right over here.발음듣기
대기중
They are able to, in 1925, successfully, successfully, successfully conquer the Nejd and you have Ibn Saud who declares himself King of the Nejd and Hijaz from 1926 to 1932.발음듣기

He later merges them into Saudi Arabia and he's the first King of Saudi Arabia all the way until 1953.발음듣기
대기중
Two of his sons are very active in collaborating with the British to fight against the Ottoman's.발음듣기
대기중
By the end of the war, and we covered this in the Sinai, Palestine and Mesopotamia Campaigns, the combined British and Arab forces are able to move all the way into, all the way into what is now northern Syria.발음듣기
대기중
You can imagine at this point, the Arab's are eager in a post world environment to have their state.발음듣기
대기중
The reason why they're a little bit unceratin about their future is based on what some of the things that came out during the war.발음듣기
대기중
We now know that while the British were trying to convince Hussein bin Ali to get his forces to rise up against the Ottoman's they were dealing with the French in the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement to essentially carve up this whole territory between the British and the French.발음듣기
대기중
A few years later in 1917, this was still during the war, while the war was happening, you have the Balfour Declaration, which declared the British intent to create a homeland for the Jewish people.발음듣기
대기중
Then a month later, really the end of that month, November 1917, the Russian's make the Sykes-Picot Agreement public, so all of these things made the Arab's very uneasy.발음듣기
대기중
They got assurances from the British that oh that wasn't that serious of an agreement, just keep fighting with us.발음듣기
대기중
(writing) So in 1919 you have the Paris, Paris Peace Conference and just to be clear at that point in time it wasn't obvious that you necessarily had to have this, what we now have, is this conflict between what is now Israel and the Arab people.발음듣기
대기중
Faisal bin Hussein was actually eager to kind of reach out to the World Zionist Organization, to the Zionist movement to hopefully get their help in establishing an independent Arab state.발음듣기
대기중
He didn't think that they would, that it would establish an independent Jewish state, but he said hey look if they can have a homeland here but in order to get that homeland, they're willing to support me for an independent Arab state then I might kind of send out an olive branch to them.발음듣기
대기중
This is while he was trying to get support for an independent Arab state, one that he would argue, was promised to him by the McMahon Correspondences with his father.발음듣기
대기중
Our deputation here in Pairs is fully acquainted with the proposal submitted yesterday "by the Zionist Organization to the Peace Conference "and we regard them as moderate and proper.발음듣기
대기중
We will do our best, in so far as we are concerned to help them through, we will wish the Jews "a most hearty welcome home.발음듣기
대기중
I look forward, and my people with me look forward to a future in which we will help you and you will "help us so that the countries in which we are "mutually interested may once again take their "places in the community of the civilized peoples "of the world."발음듣기
대기중
But he did throw in this caveat, he was doing this because he wanted their support for an independent state and he did throw in the caveat, look this only applies, I'm only supportive, essentially, of the Balfour Declaration if we get our independent state.발음듣기
대기중
He explicitly said, hey look if we don't get an independent state all the stuff I said here, doesn't really apply.발음듣기
대기중
It turns out that the Sykes-Picot Agreement held a lot more weight than the assurances between McMahon and Hussein because in the Treaty of Sev, this area was divided, essentially, according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement.발음듣기
대기중
Up here, this whole region was given to France, they called it a mandate, which is essentially it was allowed to be occupied by France but they called it a mandate.발음듣기
대기중
The allies wanted it to be called a mandate so it didn't look like France was getting something.발음듣기
대기중
A mandate is kind of, hey you have to come help these people to transition them to establish a state, to help them transition institutions so eventually they can get independence.발음듣기
대기중
The allies wanted it to appear that, look central powers, look Ottoman's, you're not giving us something, you're not giving us this territory, you're giving us a responsibility.발음듣기
대기중
Needless to say, they were eager to occupy this territory, so eager that when Faisal bin Hussein, in 1920, declared himself King of Syria, they booted him out.발음듣기
대기중
This area right over here, this was pretty much in line with the Sykes-Picot Agreement, became a British, this whole area right over here became a British mandate.발음듣기
대기중

대기중
They were free of the Ottoman's, but now all of a sudden the British come and say that they are in charge.발음듣기
대기중
The British start to realize, gee this is kind of expensive trying to keep control of this maybe we should install someone, and we'll still kind of keep this as a protectorate as a mandated territory, but why don't we install someone, an Arab leader, as the King of this region.발음듣기
대기중
He is a King of Iraq, essentially under protection, or under influence of the British from 1921 until 1933 and that's when they finally get independence of the British, in 1932.발음듣기
