Question

What considerations were given to religious and ethnic groups in the land impacted by the Sykes-Picot agreement

Answer 1

Answer:

Sykes-Picot agreement was a secret agreement to divide the Ottoman empire between United kingdom and France with the approval of Russian and Italy. During the first world war, it resulted in the division of Ottoman empire outside the Arabian peninsula into areas of influence between Britain and France. It not only resulted in the division of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine but also divided various ethnic groups like Kurds, The Druze, etc. It led to regional factionalism and some ethnic groups found themselves in minority in the new territories.
