Arabs who were subjects of the Turkish Empire joined the Allies to become independent after the war, with Prince Faisil and British Colonel T.E. Lawrence as their military leaders. Much to Lawrence's disgust, the Allies betrayed the Arabs after the war and occupied most of the Turkish Empire. They tried to occupy Turkey as well, but the Turks threw them out. The country which Faisil eventually got for the Arabs was Iraq, but Kuwait was withheld by the Allies; a decision which led to another war near the end of the 20th Century. Because of Colonel Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia), the Arabs were allowed to fight in their own style which emphasized long-range mobility over the desert. With the Arabs on camels and two Rolls-Royce armoured cars, Lawrence fought the Turks and kept them off balance until General Allenby was ready to attack with his British army from Egypt. The outcome can only be speculated if the Arabs had fought on the side of the Turks instead of with the Allies.
During the time of WW1 most of what is considered the Arab world today was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. King Fasoul was approached to join the allied forces to rebel against the Ottoman Empire in return he was promised an Arab state. It was also at this time the Balfour Declaration was signed, assigning Palestinian land to Zionists in Europe (so in essence land was promised to 2 different people). Afterwards, when the war was over the Arab states were sort of dived up' between Great Britain and France. France took Syria and Lebanon . This was under the mandate system established after the war, which was very ambiguous is its term's Arabs were under the impression that eventually (although no time frame was given) they would have their Independence
No, it wasn't. World War One was between Germany and Austria-hungary against Britain, France and Russia.
___________
Although Saudi Arabia as we know it today, did not exist during WW1 some of the Saudi tribes did side with the Allies during the war. Think of Lawrence of Arabia.
For the record, WW1 was far more extensive than a war between France, Britain, Russia, Austra-Hungary and Germany. It was a global war that included countries from all over including Canada, South Africa, Cameroons, US, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Nfd and more. The war spilt over from Europe to various points in Africa and the Middle East.
