Except that Turkey made a brand new Turkey.
This actually would’ve fixed a lot of modern issues to be honest, with the exception of Constantinople.
Mesopotamia😍
No Kuwait so no Iraq invasion or in this case a Mesopotamia invasion.
I still want Kurdistan to be.
Way more logical than what has been decided. But that region is very rich in oil and needs to be in conflicts.
Kurdistan would have been a good idea. But separating Arabs into 4 countries just reeks of typical white imperialist shenanigans.
Wet dream of europe they are still trying very hard to do it
Legend?

As if life was a map painting game. Drawing borders on a map from ten thousand miles away, like Europeans did in Africa.
The 0 state solution to the Israel-Palestine question, ahead of its time.
Do the colors mean anything specific?
They even made the gulf of Aqaba disappear
As a Lebanese, I can feel Syria invading us just looking at this map
Definity I can’t find „China“ from this map, the US was different at the moment, I assume that Anglo-„Chinese“ alliance wasn’t formed yet.
Kurds got shafted
Sykes and Picot had more to say about this.
What about after WWIII?
Now america’s plan is just greater Israëlleeee
Ayyyyy Lebanon is still there!!!
Israel is not real in this map but neither is palestine!
30 years later, the US brought Turkey into NATO, provided Marshall Plan aid, and deployed nuclear weapons there.
would have been way better
The bigger question is, would these be independent or fall under colonial control as historically?
Looks pretty clear that US was looking for these to be independent, which in turn explains why this was tossed aside for British and French partitions and lines.
Looks good to me. At least it’s not just a bunch of straight lines.
much better than what we got if you ask me
Missing out on Constantinople hurts the most
Mesopotamia (as the Assyrian State) should unironically exist
Actually makes more sense than what we got.
This is surprisingly objective (and obviously preferable to the shitshow England and France saddled us with) for a budding colonial power to propose.
Actually not that bad for the time.
Disgusting.
