Answer: It's territories were divided under the Treaty of Versailles

Explanation:

Finally, after fighting on the side of Germany in World War I and suffering defeat, the empire was taken apart by treaty and came to an end in 1922, when the last Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed VI, was deposed and left the capital of Constantinople (now Istanbul) in a British warship.

France got control of southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Given Ottoman defeat in 1918 and the subsequent partitioning of the Ottoman Empire, the agreement effectively divided the Ottoman Arab provinces outside the Arabian peninsula into areas of British and French control and influence.
