The Treason of Century Sample Clauses

The Treason of Century. The Xxxxx-Xxxxx Agreement: The British government promised to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx an independent and unified Arab World under his own rule. Meanwhile, the British had another secret commitment with the French on the post-war partition of the Arab lands. In his Book A peace to End All Peace, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx demonstrated that the British Foreign Secretary Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, requested the French Government to appoint a representative to negotiate post- war partition of Ottoman possession in the Middle East. At this point, however, Xxxx was faced by incompatible claims; between Xxxxxx’s demands for an Arab Kingdom and French ambitions in Syria. In fact, Britain could not make promises about Syria to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx without France's Permission; consequently, Xxxx authorized the High Commissioner in Cairo, XxXxxxx to be ambiguous in his letters with the Sharif concerning the Syrian border. “It would appear to be premature to consume our time in discussing such details in the heat of war, and while, in many portions of them, the Turk is up to now in effective occupation” (188-193) In fact, the British and French were planning to divide amongst themselves the lands that the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx was promised for an Arab kingdom. Thus, for many historians the Xxxxx-Xxxxx agreement stands out as an outrageous example of treason and disloyalty. In the words of the Palestinian historian Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx in his book The Arab Awakening: “The Xxxxx-Xxxxx Agreement is a shocking document. It is not only the product of greed at its worst … it also stands out as a startling piece of double- dealing.” He also added that the Xxxxx-xxxxx agreement was a product of hostile intention and antagonism against the idea of a unified and stable Arab world: “What the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Agreement did was, first, to cut up the Arab Rectangle in such a manner as to place artificial obstacles in the way of unity. That may have been the deliberate intention of its authors. Whatever gains the Allied Powers may have hoped to derive from the: partition of that territory, it showed a lack of perspicacity on their part to have imagined that it could make for a peaceful or a lasting settlement. (248). There are many misconceptions about the Xxxxx-Xxxxx Agreement. Many believe that the present day Middle East map was the design of Xxx Xxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx of 1916. However, the borders of today’s Middle East bore no resemblance to the original Xxxxx-Xxxxx map. Instead, the Official Papers of the Xxxxx- Xxxxx a...
