Nope.. every Arab states signed on with the Allies by 1939.
The Arabs did NOT want another Caliphate because the last one was such a dud. During the Ottoman Empire the Arab world stagnated..
Ibn Saud chased the Turkish garrisons off the Arabian peninsula BEFORE WW1. The British bet on the wrong horse namely the Emir of Mecca who had NO following.
You are confused.
The Ottoman empire fell in 1919. World War ONE not WWII. (Plus the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was an ally of the Nazis, the successor of the Sharif of Mecca).
ISIS, which Obama helped to create, is the attempt by Arabs to once again establish a Caliphate.
Of course the British had promised the House of Saud that they would be the new Caliphate and control all of Arabia, from Yemen to Syria, to Egypt. The Saudis were given Mecca, but not the Caliphate they were promised. The Saudis backed the British as rebels in hopes of replacing the Caliphate with themselves. The other Arab tribes didn't want to live under a Saudi Caliphate.
