The summit established the states of Iraq and Jordan as part of the Sherifian Solution and confirmed the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine the future state of Israel. No other conference had such an enduring impact on the region. C. Brad Faught demonstrates how the conference, although dominated by the British with limited local participation, was an ambitious if ultimately unsuccessful attempt to move the Middle East into the world of modern nationalism. Faught reveals that many officials, including T. E. Lawrence and Gertrude Bell, were driven by the determination for state building in the area to succeed. Their prejudices, combined with their abilities, would profoundly alter the Middle East for decades to come. 611 20 $a Cairo Conference $d (1921 : $c Cairo, Egypt; Jerusalem) 611 27 $a Cairo Conference. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01406359 651 0 $a Middle East $x Politics and government $y 1914-1945. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $z Middle East. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Foreign relations $z Great Britain. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Asia / General. $2 bisacsh 648 7 $a 1914-1945 $2 fast 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780300262438 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020611.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031902.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=088D4772C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
