Now this may sound tin foil hatty, in the go look it up and draw your own conclusions.
What the the then UK did in the early 20th century in backing/helping/agreement to the Arabs of that area of the middle east to over throw the ottoman empire occupying that area.
How were the ottoman empire leaders elected/arrived at, while how much of a democracy was the UK at the time. How much had democracy changed in both areas in the last 100 years.
At a similar time look how the borders on the European continent have changed in the last 200 years.
The problem is that allot of what is written has a bias, and I have not read enough to form an unbiased opinion.
Having studied for a few years in Siena, I learnt a lot about the medieval history in that local area that the local Sianese are still not happy/hold a grudge. Then add the within the medieval walls of Siena, that is 600-1000 years ago!
