What was the difference between the Sykes Picot and League of Nations Mandate?

Upvote:1

Sykes-Picot is a 1916 secret agreement to define spheres of influence.

a 1916 secret treaty between the United Kingdom and France, with assent from the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy, to define their mutually agreed spheres of influence and control in an eventual partition of the Ottoman Empire.

League of Nations Mandate

a legal status for certain territories transferred from the control of one country to another following World War I, or the legal instruments that contained the internationally agreed-upon terms for administering the territory on behalf of the League of Nations. These were of the nature of both a treaty and a constitution, which contained minority rights clauses that provided for the rights of petition and adjudication by the Permanent Court of International Justice.1

The first is secret; the second public. The first defines spheres of influence, the second defines countries.

Can you further amplify what is confusing? I'm not challenging the confusion, just trying to figure out precisely where the confusion lies.

If the question is actually about the boundaries of a specific country, can you specify which country?
