WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mandate system in Arab states Britain held mandates over Palestine, Iraq, and the newly created Transjordan. To mollify the Arabs, the British made the sons of the Sharif of Mecca rulers of two of these new states: Faisal was made king of Iraq, and Abdullah was made king of Transjordan, later Jordan.

Detailed explanation-2: -The League of Nations mandate granted the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon, the British Mandate for Mesopotamia (later Iraq) and the British Mandate for Palestine, later divided into Mandatory Palestine and the Emirate of Transjordan (1921–1946).

Detailed explanation-3: -Britain and France were no longer the powers that they once were, and this provided opportunities for the emerging Arab states to gain independence. The United States and the Soviet Union became superpowers and the Middle East became a major theater of Cold War conflict. And thrown into all this was Israel and oil.
