post-Ottoman states

Post-Ottoman states refer to the countries that emerged after the Ottoman Empire dissolved following World War I, around 1922. The empire's lands, once covering parts of Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa, were divided into new nations like Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel. These states developed their own governments, borders, and identities, often influenced by European powers' mandates or agreements. The transition marked the end of Ottoman rule and the start of modern nation-states in the region, shaping the political and cultural landscape still evident today.
