McMahon-Hussein Correspondence

Paper Summary:

According to Isaiah Friedman's article, the dominant theme to the discussion between McMahon and Hussein, although he notes, not clearly defined, is Arab independence (Friedman, 84). However, set-up in the initial letter and response, the correspondence between Henry McMahon and Serif Hussein of Mecca during the First World War set the boundaries of a yet-to-be defined relationship, and set the stage for future conflict. From a review of various analyses, it appears that the central issue of descent between these two was not who would control Palestine, but that it was addressed at all during that negotiation.
