ASAP PLEASE HELP:)!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The areas created by the Sykes-Picot Agreement affected the Middle East by causing problems, as each area had people from different cultural groups.

Explanation:

The Sykes-Picot agreement was a secret agreement signed in 1916 between France, the United Kingdom and Russia. It was about how the Ottoman Empire was to be divided after the First World War. The deal was named after British intelligence officer Mark Sykes and French diplomat François Georges-Picot.

The agreement was made public when the Bolsheviks opened the Tsarist archives. The disclosure of the content was first published in Izvestija and Pravda on November 23, 1917. A few days later, the contract text was reproduced in The Manchester Guardian. For the parties involved, the disclosure was embarrassing and aroused increasing distrust between the parties and the Arabs. The Arabs had been promised or at least predicted by the English an independent Arab state if they rebelled against the Ottoman Empire. They received support for this by, among others, Colonel T.E. Lawrence. In the agreement, France was awarded, among others, current Syria, Lebanon, and northern Iraq (including Mosul). Russia would receive Constantinople, the Turkish Channel and Ottoman Armenia. Britain got the area that today corresponds to Jordan, southern Iraq and a small area around Haifa.

Answer 2

Answer:

Sykes-Picot Agreement, also called Asia Minor Agreement, (May 1916), secret convention made during World War I between Great Britain and France, with the assent of imperial Russia, for the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. The agreement led to the division of Turkish-held Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine into various French- and British-administered areas. Negotiations were begun in November 1915, and the final agreement took its name from the chief negotiators from Britain and France, Sir Mark Sykes and François Georges-Picot. Sergey Dimitriyevich Sazonov was also present to represent Russia, the third member of the Triple Entente.
