		The British found an ally in Sherif Hussein ibn Ali, the hereditary ruler of Mecca and believed by Muslims to be a descendant of the family of the Prophet Muhammad, who led an Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule, having received a promise of Arab independence in exchange.
		Iraq and Palestine became British mandated territories, with one of Sherif Hussein's sons, Faisal, installed as King of Iraq.

		After assuming control of Palestine under a mandate from the League of Nations, they illegally elevated Haj Amin al-Husseini to his position as Grand Mufti of Jerusalem in order to court the powerful Husseini clan as allies in the maintenance of this part of their empire.

Note that Husseini had been in the Turkish army during World War I during the period in which the Turks perpetrated genocide against the Christian Armenians.
