Question

in two to three sentences, explain how the partitioning of ottoman land after world war 1 led to conflict in the middle east. explain it in 7th graders words

Answer 1

After World War I, Britain and France carved up the old Ottoman Empire and drew new countries and borders mostly to help themselves, not the people who lived there. Those new borders often split or forced together different ethnic and religious groups and broke promises to locals, which caused anger, uprisings, and long-lasting fights over land and who should rule places like Palestine.
