While this sounds diabolical, let's not forget what brought #Britain to this.

It was, of course, the #TurkishGermanGreatWarIntrigue on the international front as well as their oppression of #Arabs in #Palestine and #Hejaz (#Arabia).

In the latter case, discontent was already brewing among Arabs within the #Ottoman Empire even before the British became entangled.

This was a World War. Intrigue everywhere was the norm, not exception.

Britain sensed the discontent and sought to exploit it.
