ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The Arab revolt of Sharif Husayn of Mecca was not the only revolt against the Ottomans which was planned or carried out by the Arab provinces inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. The Decentralization Party did cooperate with the British for a while and assisted them in spreading subversive propaganda in the Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire. But eventually British lack of readiness to satisfy the party with official political declarations concerning the future of the Arab provinces led to the suspension of contacts between the party and British. The book concludes that the particularist forces were dominating the Arab world would prevent Husayn from welding all the Arab countries into one stable state, and that if there existed any nationalism in the Arab countries it was only local.
