Answer 1

The correct answer is The countries in the Agreement wanted to take lands controlled by the Ottoman Empire when it lost the war.

The Sykes-Picot agreement thus betrayed promises of freedom made to the Arabs by the British in exchange for their support in the fight against the Ottoman Empire, which dominated the so-called Arab world.

It also conflicted with the vision of US President Woodrow Wilson, who preached the self-determination of peoples overwhelmed by the Ottoman Empire.
