Nadine,you can speculate all you want but fact is the Mandate Powers renigged

on their promise of arab nationhood .

It is also to be pionted out that the promise of arab nationhood was a condition of their acceptance of a zionist colony in palastine.

"On January 3, 1919 Faisal and Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organization signed the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement, in which Faisal conditionally accepted the Balfour Declaration based on the fulfillment of British wartime promises of independence to the Arabs. These were not kept.[1][2] Weizmann argued that the fulfillment was kept eventually and therefore the agreement still held.[2]"wikipedia

"On March 7, 1920 he was made king of Greater Syria by the Syrian National Congress. However, in April 1920 the San Remo conference gave France the mandate for Syria, which led to the battle of Maysalun on July 24, 1920. Faisal was expelled from Syria by the French and went to live in the United Kingdom in August of that year.
The British government, mandate holders in Iraq, were concerned at the unrest in the colony. They decided to step back from direct administration and create a monarchy to head Iraq while they maintained the mandate. Following a plebiscite showing 96% in favor, Faisal agreed to become king. In August 1921 he was made king of Iraq.
He was instrumental in making his country fully independent in 1932."
