This is a very good summary of the history of the Middle East WWI setup and contradictions ..
How the First World War Created the Middle East Conflicts (Documentary)
The Great War
The modern Middle East is a region troubled by war, terrorism, weak and failed states, and civil unrest. But how did it get this way? The map of today’s Middle East was mostly drawn after the First World War, and the war that planted many of the seeds of conflict that still plague Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Syria and even Iran today.
