Solution

The boundaries of independent states from the former Ottoman Empire after WWI were essentially drawn arbitrarily. This is because the boundaries were largely determined by the decisions of the victorious powers, particularly France and Britain, rather than being based on ethnic, religious, physical, or political divisions within the region. This arbitrary drawing of boundaries has been a source of conflict in the Middle East ever since.
