Theirs? They were handed a chunk of land by the European powers;

Which was not Europe's to hand to anyone.

Indeed, during World War One, the Allied Powers promised Arabs their independence if they'd join the Allies' fight against the Ottoman Turks. Then France and Britain reneged on that promise to the Arabs, and simply took the place of the Turkish rulers.
