Mark Sykes
Mark Sykes was a British diplomat and politician, best known for his role in the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, which aimed to define the spheres of influence for Britain and France in the Middle East following the potential downfall of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. His secret negotiations with French diplomat François Georges-Picot laid the groundwork for the modern Middle East's borders, often disregarding the aspirations and rights of the local populations, which has had lasting geopolitical consequences.
