The Sykes–Picot Agreement /ˈsaɪks piˈkoʊ/, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret 1916 agreement between the United Kingdom and France. It was approved by the Russian Empire. It allowed the European powers to divide parts of the Middle East for themselves after the surrender of the Ottoman Empire.
