The document pledged support from Arab secret societies for Faisal bin Hussein in setting up a new nation in the Syria/Lebanon/Mesopotamia area. 
Then nation never came about. The League of nations imposed there own boundries and created a bunch of illogical geographic groupings we now call nations in the Middle East.

The Damascus Protocol was a document given to Faisal bin Hussein by the Arab secret societies al-Fatat and Al-'Ahd[1] on his second visit to Damascus during a mission to consult Turkish officials in Constantinople (1914). The secret societies declared they would support Faisal's father Hussein bin Ali's revolt against the Ottoman Empire, if the demands in the protocol were submitted to the British. These demands, defining the territory of an independent Arab state to be established in the Middle East that would encompass all of the lands of western Asia,[2] then became the basis of the conversation in the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence. @Simmi-39357
