Preface
The Order that has Governed the World Since the Sykes-Picot Era
Contemplating the previous centuries, even until the middle of the twentieth century, one
finds that when the large states or empires collapsed – and even small states, whether they
were Islamic or non-Islamic – and a state did not come into being that was comparable in
power and equivalent to the previous state with regard to control over the lands and regions
of that state which had collapsed, the regions and sectors of this state changed, through
human nature, on account of submission to what is called the administrations of savagery.
When the caliphal state fell, some of this savagery appeared in some of the regions.
However, the situation stabilized soon after that on account of (the order) the Sikes-Picot
treaty established. Thereupon, the division of the caliphal state and the withdrawal of the
colonial states was such that the caliphal state was divided into (large) states and small states,
ruled by military governments or civil governments supported by military forces. The ability
of these governments to continue administering these states was consonant with the strength
of their connection with these military forces and the ability of these forces to protect the
form of the state, whether through the power which these forces derived from their police
or army, or through the external power which supported them.
Here we will not deal with how these states were maintained or how these governments
exercised control. Regardless of whether we believe that they obtained control by virtue of
their victory over the governments of colonialsm, or by virtue of working secretly with
