Hmm. In the Big Book of Osman's Dream I am finding credidation that prior to the Great War, Arab loyalties (it seems to point to Levantine Arabs) were very loyal to Istanbul. In the face of the Balkans Wars the representation of the Arabs had increased greatly in the government.

The key factors toward 'Arab Nationalism' was mainly Enver Pasa's paranoid influences against the Arab population and the Ottoman entrance into World War (and Sultan Husayn's bid to increase his power in Arabia).
