Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The partitioning of the Ottoman Empire after the war led to the domination of the Middle East by Western powers such as Britain and France, and saw the creation of the modern Arab world and the Republic of Turkey.

Detailed explanation-2: -In essence, following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East fell into the hands of European powers like Great Britain and France.
