Event

The effort of a Hashemite-led and British-sponsored rebel faction to break away territory from the Ottoman Empire during World War I, with the expectation of the creation of an independent Arab state following the conflict. The campaign and the agreements signed in its wake fundamentally reshaped the political landscape of the Middle East and would bear repercussions lasting even to this day.
