Question

Which statement correctly explains the impact of self-determination on independence movements in Syria?
A: Self-determination led to continued European control of Syria.
B: led to conflict with Egypt and prevented the two countries from cooperating with each other.
C: led to the rise of feminist nationalist leader Huda Sharawi, who argued for suffrage.

Answer 1

The most appropriate statement concerning the impact of self-determination on independence movements in Syria is:

**A: Self-determination led to continued European control of Syria.**

This reflects how the principle of self-determination, while inspiring nationalist movements, often faced resistance from colonial powers that sought to maintain their control over territories like Syria, particularly in the aftermath of World War I and during the period of European mandate rule.
