    #SykesPicot Agreement suffered an inglorious fate, and rightfully so.

    THEN, #Britain kicked up a new storm — #Zionism gathered strength!

    #WWI changed everything, including #British attitude toward both #Zionism and #Ottoman Empire.

  7. ⬆️ November 1914: Anwar #Pasha of #Turkey aligns with #CentralPowers (#Germany and #Austria-#Hungary) and enters the #GreatWar.

    Early 1915: #Russia tells #EntentePartners it wants #Constantinople (now #Istanbul) & #Dardanelles; #Britain & #France reluctantly agree.

    #Balfour, #Churchill, & #Kitchener favor annexation of #Arabia, #Palestine, #Mesopotamia (#Iraq) from #Ottomans; #EdwardGrey opposes.

    A separate #intrigue was playing out between Turkey, #Arab leaders, & #Hussein (Sharif of Mecca)
