To what extent did France and Britain make things worse in the Middle East region following World War I? Did the United Nations fulfill its mandate of trying to create world peace?
As a result of the separation of the Ottoman Empire, France and Britain, in 1916, they came to an agreement of dividing up the territories, of the Middle East, into mandates. The tension of the Middle East arose from there, mainly from the actions of the British. British had started reassuring Jewish people territory in Palenstine, while also promising the Arabs independence. As Britain promised both countries similar agreements, the Arabs and Jews were in disputes since day one. When the Balfour Declaration came out in 1917, a deal promising Jews to reside in Palestine, thats when the tensions started to take place. When Jewish settlers started occupying Palestine, in attempt to avoid the rise of Hitler, the Arabs started to take aggressive possession of their land. The Arabs ford the Jews to leave Palestine, one of the reasons being that their religions were not in agreement and contradicted one another. To this day, the Arabs and Jewish people are still in conflict. Britain was seen as the great contributor of the disruption in the Middle East, while France just sat back and watched Britain create conflicts between the the Jews and the Arabs.
