What are some views of historians on the impact of WW1 on the Middle East?

by historianme

Looking for some sources to talk about - with the inclusion, if possible, of the relevant quotes? Preferably no web sources, but depending on reliability I'm willing to accept those as well.

Many thanks!

That's a verrrrrry big topic. What precisely are you interested in?

There are historians who have written about:

  1. World War I and the rise of Arab nationalism
  2. (through infinity) World War 1 and the rise of every other form of regional/local nationalism
  3. World War I and British Imperial Policy
  4. World War I and French Imperial Policy
  5. World War I and American foreign policy
  6. World War I and Zionism
  7. World War I and the post-war settlement

and so on and so forth. Also what relevant quotes would you be looking for? Relevant to what?
