And very problematic today. They gave the Jews land for Israel, because they barrowed money from Rothschild to supply the Arabs with weapons, so the Arabs could throw off Turkish rule. The Arabs thought they would get control of all the territory considered to be Arab territory, when they engaged in war with the Turks.
Britian and France kind of divided things up as they liked, and following WWII the US began lusting for control this part of the world. I really hate it when people give the UN decisions that authority of a God, because those in power are not the people of the land.
