I've been reading up on the 19th century British empire and through WW2.
Related to current world events if the British hadn't promised the same patch of land to both the Bedouins and the Jews to get them to help the British fight the Turks in WWI it would be less likely the Middle East would be in turmoil, or at least the exact turmoil, currently.
