D. was divided into several smaller new nations.

After its defeat in World War I the Ottoman Empire was partitioned (Treaty of Sèvres, later adjusted by the Treaty of Lausanne), leading to the dismantling of the empire, the creation of the Republic of Turkey, and new mandates/territories that became nations such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and others.
