Detailed explanation-1: -Sir Mark Sykes, 6th Baronet, (born March 16, 1879, London, England-died February 16, 1919, Paris, France), diplomat who represented Great Britain in the so-called Sykes-Picot negotiations (1915–16) concerning the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ottoman Empire had been the leading Islamic state in geopolitical, cultural and ideological terms. 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-3: -Siding with Germany in World War I may have been the most significant reason for the Ottoman Empire’s demise. Before the war, the Ottoman Empire had signed a secret treaty with Germany, which turned out to be a very bad choice.
