Which of the following allowed the British and French to partition the area known as “Greater Syria”?

1 answer

The partitioning of Greater Syria by the British and the French was primarily facilitated by the secret agreement known as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which was signed in 1916 during World War I. This agreement was made between the United Kingdom and France, with the assent of Russia, to divide the Ottoman Empire's Arab provinces in the event of their defeat. Following the war, the League of Nations also granted mandates to Britain and France, further formalizing their control over the territories that composed Greater Syria, which included modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and parts of Israel and Palestine. These actions allowed the British and French to effectively partition the region.
