INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this page is to discuss the Hussein McMahon correspondence and its effect on the Middle East.
"The McMahon-Hussein Agreement of October 1915 was accepted by Palestinians as a promise by the British that after World War One, land previously held by the Turks would be returned to the Arab nationals who lived in that land. The McMahon-Hussein Agreement was to greatly complicate Middle East history and seemed to directly clash with the Balfour Declaration of 1917."

This correspondence explains a great deal of the tension in the Middle East as the Arabs felt betrayed by the British.
