Sharif Hussein

Hussein ibn Ali al-Hashimi (1854-1931) was a Hashemite Arab leader who was the Sharif and Emir of Mecca from 1908.
He was said to be a 37th-generation direct descendant of Muhammad as he belong to the Hashemite family. In 1916, with the promise of British support for Arab independence, he proclaimed the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. After World War I, Hussein refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, in protest at the Balfour Declaration and the establishment of British and French mandates in Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. He later refused to sign the Anglo-Hashemite Treaty and thus deprived himself of British support when his kingdom was invaded by Ibn Saud. In October 1924, facing defeat by Ibn Saud, he abdicated and was succeeded as king by his eldest son Ali.
