İngiltere için Anadolu coğrafyasındaki Güney Anadolu Bölgesi’nin ele geçirilmesinin üç temel unsuru bulunmaktaydı. Bunlardan ilki bu bölgenin Hindistan yolundaki ve yine İngiltere’nin elinde bulunan Süveyş ve Mısır’ın savunulmasında bir hareket üssü olarak önem arz etmesiydi. Diğeri Sykes-picot’a göre Fransızlara verilmesi kararlaştırılan ve petrol bakımından oldukça önemli bir yere sahip olan Musul’u Fransızlardan almak amacıyla elinde bir koz bulundurmak istemesiydi. Bir diğer neden de Maraş ve çevresinin işgal edilerek, bu bölgede kendi hâkimiyetlerinde bir Ermeni Devleti ile bir de Kürt Devleti kurulmasının sağlanmasıydı. İngilizlerin Güneydoğu Anadolu Politikası ve bu bağlamda Maraş’ın işgali, Ortadoğu Politikasının bir devamı olup, İngiliz Hükümeti'nin Ortadoğu’yla ilgili amaçları bu politikanın ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. İngiltere bölgedeki işgallerine, 30 Ekim 1918’de Mondros Mütarekesi imzalandıktan sonra başladı. Zira 3 Kasım 1918 tarihinden başlayarak sırasıyla Musul, İskenderun, Kilis, Antep, Cerablus ve sonrasında da Maraş, İngilizler tarafından işgal edildi.
There were three main goals of England for the seizure of the South Anatolian Region in Turkey at the end of the XIX. and century. The first was that this region was important as a base of movement in the defense of the Suez Canal and Egypt, which were in the way of India. The other was that, England wanted to keep a trump in order to get Mosul back from the French. Mosul had a very important place in terms of oil, which was decided to be handed over to the French according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement. Another reason for the occupation of Marash and its surroundings was to establish an Armenian and a Kurdish state in the region in the control of England. The Southeastern Anatolia Policy of the British and the occupation of Marash in this context were extension of the Middle East Policy. The British Government’s objectives for the Middle East have led to this policy. Britain began its occupation in the region after the Mondros Armistice, signed on 30 October 1918. Starting from 3 November 1918, Mosul, Iskenderun, Kilis, Aintab, Cerablus and then Marash were occupied by the British.
