Hi There! :)

Why was the fate of the middle east up in the air toward the end of WW1?

Few events in world history have had a more profound impact than that of World War One (1914-8). Although the German attempt to dominate Europe was thwarted in the end, the equilibrium of the region was also destroyed by the fierce fighting between its different elements.

Answer 2

Answer:

The fate of the middle east was up in the air toward the end of WW1 because of the secret treaty England and France made to divide the territory of the former Ottoman empire to satisfy their objectives and not the needs of the inhabitants of those territories.

Explanation:

The Sykes and Pico agreement was a secret agreement England and France had with the contentment of Russia and Italy to separate the ottoman empire and to assign its territories to both of them considering their geopolitical objectives. It was sustained by the belief that the Triple Entente or the alliance between Russia, France, and England was going to be the ultimate winner of the first world war. By doing it, the order in the region would be twisted.
