What did the British promise the Arabs during World War 1?

During World War I, the British promised the Arabs independence and the establishment of a sovereign Arab state in exchange for their support against the Ottoman Empire. This commitment was communicated through the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence in 1915-1916. However, the promise was complicated by other agreements, such as the Sykes-Picot Agreement, which divided the Middle Eastern territories between Britain and France, leading to feelings of betrayal among Arab leaders after the war. Ultimately, the conflicting promises contributed to long-term tensions in the region.
