Nadine ,please check your facts...the partition into mandates by france and brittain prevented what would have been an arab nation under king feisal. Since Feisal could not even keep hold of his patrimony in the Hijaz, which never came under any mandate, you must allow me to doubt his potential staying power in other areas of Arabia which were foreign to him. But one son got to be King of Iraq and the other King of Transjordan, so it wasn't a total loss. More to the point, they got the British trained armies that allowed them to keep hold of their possessions.
