Document Summary
The war ends, and prince faisal (son of hussein) declares himself king of the arabs, and sets up his headquarters in damascus, syria. The french are outraged, and britain chooses to throw itself behind france. Faisal tries a brief resistance but failed and was sent to exile. (his state lasted 5 months) Under strict control from france, because of its location on the coast: palestine and transjordan (today jordan) Britain tried to appease the arabs and the french by dividing palestine and giving of it to king abdullah (hussein"s other son). The british drew themselves a huge mandate in mesopotamia. (primarily to make money off all the oil; consisted of many different ethnic groups bound to fail) 2/3 of kuwait was separated and given to saud to appease him. Egyptians grow tired of british rule and form the wafd . 1818: ottoman empire attacks riyadh and take over saudi lands. 1902: ibn saud regains much of the peninsula.
