What arguments did the members of the Syrian Congress make to claim their independence? They had developed infrastructure and military expertise during the war. They had the right to the oil reserves located in their homeland and needed independence to best manage them. They had served as a homeland for Jewish migration. They had fought against Turkey on behalf of the Allies and their own liberty.

After the First World War, the Syrian National Congress was summoned in Damascus, Syria(May 1919). The expulsion of the Ottomans from Syria motivated the Congress to press for independence. The Congress intended to consider the "future of Syria" as a democratic monarchy under their King Faisal. Option A is not correct- The Syrian Congress pressed for independence as the Arabs had helped the allied powers in winning the war against the Ottoman Empire. Option B is not correct- The right to control oil reserves in Syria had nothing to do with the call for independence. Option C is not correct- The Syrian Congress called for independence because the Arabs supported the Allies during the first world war. Option D is CORRECT- The Syrian Congress wanted to gain independence because the Arabs had supported the Allies during the first world war. The Ottoman Empire had joined the central powers during the First world war. Britain and France wanted the support of Arabs to fight against the Ottoman Empire. The two nations promised Arab self-determination if they helped the Allies in defeating the Ottomans. The hope of gaining independence made the indigenous Arab population support the Allies. After the war, the British failed to honor its promise and refused to grant Arabs their deserved independence, leading to the rise of Arab nationalism. Option D is the most appropriate answer for the asked question.
