Description
What if Faisal and France get a agreement about Syria on Paris Peace Conference? France get Mediterrean Sea shores, and Syria in interior will be onder french influence (mandate) for 10 years? And Brits bill have equivalent mandate in transjordanian part of country.So, it's 1930, after french withdraw from inland Syria. It still have military bases near Damascus and Aleppo (+british bases near oil pipeline from Iraq), but Syria is now fully independent, control own military, finanses and foreign relations.

Propably not. But Panarabism can be even more socialistic, in oposition to conservative monarchs.

That's what we call the historical betrayal. You haven't mentioned. When we (Arabs-Syrians) joined the allied forces against Germany, we were promised independence and unity. We still suffer and regret that, because They divided our country, just like Africa, and later created Israel. Why should pay the price of European Dictator "Hitler"? That later helped to give a rise to Islamic movements, because liberals who supported the west.

propably not: even in this scenario brits would negotiate southern border: more important than Wadi as-Sarah was for them a corridor from Palestine to Iraq, to secure area for oil pipeline and air corridor from Med to India

in this scenario Feisal is a king of Syria, and Abdullah rule in Iraq, but Hejaz was conquered by Ibn Saud.
