Virtual Event: Churchill and the Middle East
During World War I, Britain made numerous and often contradictory promises in the Middle East—including the Sykes–Picot Agreement, the Balfour Declaration, commitments to Arab leaders, and support for Wilson’s Fourteen Points—in an effort to secure allies.

Lawrence and Gertrude Bell, led key meetings and decisions in 1921–22 that ultimately shaped the modern Middle East.
