- robocat 4y agoWhich part showed intent to “divide and conquer“ or intent to cause internal conflict? I didn’t see any, although I do admit I skimmed (because it was a long read that appeared irrelevant). And the article surely isn’t corroborating your thesis of mix cultures to force a long-term fail.
- kamaal 4y agoSykes-Picot agreement is as far as things go in diplomatic speak for a proof for this. Quite literally the western powers cut up borders in mid east, sitting in rooms in Paris, London and Moscow, people who did this didn't even speak arabic, had no idea about ethnic, cultural, religious, political and social make up's of the lands they were cutting up to divide among each other.
