Which is considered the basic nucleus for the emergence of various colonial projects in the region, and the change of the political map of the Arab countries in accordance with what was stated in the Treaty of Sèvres and Lausanne within the framework of settling the situation. After World War I which ended the Ottoman Caliphate, colonial projects were overwhelmed, the first of which was the Campbell-Bennerman Conference, which was considered the most dangerous of these projects, To achieve the colonial states' goals in the region, the conference participants devised a plan to ensure their continued presence and control.so The Campbell-Bannerman plan had a significant impact on Arab countries and served as the core for subsequent agreements such as the Sykes-Picot Agreement. the Balfour Declaration, the Versailles Conference, the San Remo Conference. These agreements, arising from the conference, divided the Arab world at the time and opposed any unifying direction. What was the most important thing in it? What did the conferences result in?
