    To be fair, this is exactly what the western powers wanted after WWI and why they divided up the land the way they did.

      Do you have any documentation for that claim? Because I sure haven’t heard that one before.

        I wasn’t aware basic colonization techniques needed documentation. Take a look at Divide and Conquer

        An article studying its affects on people: https://www.jstor.org/stable/40401707

        Examples: the British did it to Nigeria, Russia did it to Armenia and Azerbaijan, Britain and the UN did it to Palestine and Israel

        The western world won’t risk having another Ottoman Empire so they keep everybody fighting with each other and control puppet states. They tried to do it in Iran in the 70’s.

        WWI only ended a little more than 100 years ago. Political powers around the world are still very much influenced by the causes and events of WWI.
