Which statement correctly links the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 with the post-war mandates?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. It set zones in advance, and the mandates later gave Britain and France authority there
- Step 1: Britain and France agreed in secret on zones in 1916. Step 2. After the war the League of Nations mandates (for example Palestine to Britain, Syria and Lebanon to France) followed those spheres. Answer: It set European zones in advance and mandates followed. Why not the others: the others get the order, the publisher or the zones wrong.
