By the end of World War I (1914-1918), the Allied Powers (such as France, Britain, the U.S., and Italy) had won. The Ottoman Empire found itself on the losing side. As a result, it also had to give up most of it’s territory except the modern day country of Turkey.
9. Make a prediction: What do you think will happen to all the land the Ottoman Empire had to give up in the Middle East after losing WWI?
The End of the Ottoman Empire
Please make sure to answer #9 before moving on to the
next slide.
By the end of World War I (1914-1918), the Allied Powers (such as France, Britain, the U.S., and Italy) had won. The Ottoman Empire found itself on the losing side. As a result, it also lost most of it’s territory except the modern day country of Turkey.
Some of the Allied Powers divided control of the former Ottoman Empire among themselves in what was known as the “San Remo Agreement”.
The End of the Ottoman Empire
Look at the “San Remo Agreement -1920” map on the next slide.
Find 2 foreign countries (countries outside of the Middle East) that increased their power in the Middle East after the decline of the Ottoman Empire.
10. Name these 2 foreign countries AND the areas in the Middle East that they controlled.
The Mandate SystemAfter World War I ended in 1918, certain territories were taken from
the defeated nations and placed under the control of one or more of the victorious nations. These areas were called mandated territories. The League of Nations, a forerunner of the United Nations (UN), supervised the governing countries’ control of the mandated territories. The League expected the governing countries to improve living conditions in the mandated territories, and to prepare the people for self-government.
The United Kingdom received mandates for Mesopotamia (later renamed Iraq); and Palestine. Palestine was later divided into Palestine and Transjordan (later renamed Jordan). France received Syria, which was later divided into Syria and Lebanon. The mandate system ended in 1947. By that time, several mandated territories, including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, had become independent countries.
Look at the map to
the right.
11. What was the
modern-day country
of Israel called in
under the Mandate
System?
12. Who controlled this
mandated area after
the fall of the
Ottoman Empire?
13. Make a prediction: What happens when
the British Mandate of Palestine ends?
Explain in 3 sentences.
Hints: The area of Palestine is now called by
a different name. What do you think
happened? Use the map and link on the
next slide to help you.
