One of the smartest things that Italy ever did was to avoid Sykes-Picot. Before Orlando headed to Versailles, he met with Vittorio Emanuele III and the King asked him if he intended to contest Sykes-Picot at all. He shook his head and replied, "There's a reason that the old Romans left, Majesty- too many problems over there". How right he was.

Most histories, this excellent! one also, totally skip the struggle for Arabia itself - how the pro-British Al Saud in Najd in SE Arabia fought the Ottoman allies of Hail in Al Shamar in Central & NE Arabia, while Hussein Sharif of Mecca in the Hejaz revolted against the Ottomans in W Arabia (with Lawrence). So here is a summary: After the Ottoman WWI collapse, the Al Saud won their side, but then in 1924 the two old allies of the British went to war, Hussein in the West and Al Saud from the East for who would control Arabia. The British abandoned Hussein but supported Al Saud. Guess who won Saudi Arabia? In Yemen it was complicated also; pre-WWI Imam Yahya al-Mutawakkil semi-Independently controlled the inland mountain of the North Yemen while the Ottoman controlled the coast and lowlands. The Idrisid rebelled in the south with British help. After the war, there was intermittent wars between the British and their Idrisid allies of the south vs Imam Yahya in the North from 1922 to 1934. This resulted in the British Adan mandate and Kingdom of North Yemen. Imam Yahya also in 1932-34 invaded Saudi Arabia, was beat with British help, lost some provinces and had to settle for their present border.

Loved the episode, but I do have two quibbles. First, you correctly show Kuwait as a separate British area, but the shades of red for the borders and the “British mandates” make it easy to mistake it as part of Mesopotamia. This modern border between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia would not be set as shown until after British arbitration after fighting between them in the 1930s, but that’s a relatively minor thing. Second, Russia was also party to the Sykes-Picot Agreement which is why they were to gain territory in the partition. One might think the British and French were just going to give Russia land out of kindness without knowing that.

@Anonymous Guy exactly

first part of the video is the most accurate (yet concise) explanation for the root of many of the problems in today's middle east. the latter part lost the historic narrative a little bit in favor of trying to define what self determination "should" mean - but self determination is an ideal that was never practiced, not even by pre world wars America, and any attempt to explain or define what people of the middle east want is doomed to failure. the region is too diverse, fractured and complex to allow this to be defined and for the narrative of the video to try to pursue this line of thinking is implicitly forgoing historical narrative and adopting a moral one. which is ironic because that's just what Wilson tried to do and failed.

Arabs did not suffer under Turkish rule as they were considered a Holly race as Muhammad was an Arab , therefore they were left alone. One might argue they were not ruled properly.

the French hypocrisy is just baffling. Protector of the Christians that is somehow concerned with only a very specific tiny community, while ignoring the much larger Christian population all over Syria. In all honesty, I don't know whether an independent Hashimite kingdom would have been better, especially since the Arabs of the Hijaz have just as much to do with Syria and Mesopotamia as France and Britain. I hate to imagine a Saudi Arabia that extends from the Mediterranean to the Indian ocean.

I think an independent Hashemites Kingdom controlling all of Arabia (The middle eastern part) will be better than what's going on today. If Saudi Arabia didn't existed Wahabism won't have the influence it has in the today's world. So Islamic Terrorism won't exist. Also after the abolition of Caliphate in Turkey. Hussein Bin Ali declared himself Caliph of all Muslims (But then he was ousted by the Sauds from Hejaz). The Hashemites are the descendants of Prophet Muhammed (SA.) through Ali and Fatema. So the Shia's won't have any problem having him as Caliph. Also the Wahabist calls the Shia's "Kafir" which fuels the Sunni Shia conflict today.

I wonder what the Middle East would look like if France and Britain would've just packed up and left after the war.

You can blame the current mess in the Middle East on the British and the French for doing what they did back in 1920s after the war

“Things would not be as simple as the French and the British had expected.”

I'd propose a compromise between the "single Arab state" and "Sykes-Picot" plans: 1) Excluding the Gulf States already under the British, split Arabia into two countries, Saudi Arabia and "Hashemite Arabia" aka "Greater Jordan", which would include Jordan, Syria and half of Iraq. 2) The rest of Iraq can be Kurdistan; perhaps the whole area between the Euphrates and the Zagros Mountains (which separate Iran and modern Iraq), and between the modern Turkish border and Baghdad. 3) Exclude from Hashemite Arabia modern-day Lebanon (for the Maronite Christians) and the British Mandate (which will become Israel) Lebanon would be under the French or at least French influence until some later date when full independence is granted. Likewise the Syrian and Iraqi portions of this greater Hashemite Kingdom would have French and British spheres of influence respectively until some later date. Maybe Kurdistan too would have British protection. Would this bring peace? Not necessarily, not unless you stamp out all jihadi movements. But it'll at least get rid of the issue of arbitrary nations carved out of nothing.
