Description: ca. 1920 Original Antique Rand McNally Map MideastTurkey, Persia, Afghanistan after World War I Following World War I, the Middle East saw the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, leading to the division of its territories into smaller states under British and French mandates, effectively establishing European colonial control over the region through the Sykes-Picot Agreement, creating artificial borders that would significantly influence the political landscape of the Middle East for decades to come; this included the creation of modern-day nations like Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, and Jordan, with the majority of the Arab population not gaining independence but instead being placed under European rule. Some independent states like Saudi Arabia emerged during this period, but their formation was also influenced by European powers. Persia (now Iran) was occupied by foreign troops, experienced a famine, and faced economic and political instability. Afghanistan became an independent nation following the Third Anglo-Afghan War. The Third Anglo-Afghan War began in May 1919 when Afghanistan invaded British India. The war was fought between the Afghan army and the British Indian army, which was exhausted from World War I. approximate sizes map image: 5.0" x 6.3"card: 6.5" x 7.8" taken fromAtlas of the WorldPublishers Rand McNally & Co.
