THe British and French drew the national boarders conquering and dividing the Islamic caliphate and created Saudi arabia, Oman, yemen and so on. The reason: to better control populations once conquered and easier for exploitation of resources. National boarders devastated Yemens economy since its a desert and has no resources to export. A caliphate Mega state was open boarder and important for countries like yemen
