What a dunce. WW1 was over a hundred years ago now. There are probably three generations of people removed from that tune period who have lived in the area their entire lives.

The wwi borders of syria don't make sense and never did. What makes sense is a hard problem though - I'm guessing tha country needs to split into 3 but I'm an outsider who locals of syria should not listen to.
