Leader of Arab Revolt
Sharif Hussein bin Ali (1854–1931) was the Sharif and Emir of Mecca who led the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I, in alliance with Britain. The Hussein-McMahon Correspondence promised Arab independence in exchange for the revolt. He briefly declared himself King of the Hejaz (1916–1924) but was defeated by Ibn Saud. He is the patriarch of the Hashemite dynasty that still rules Jordan.
