So theres another story rarely told. Of huge importance during the war. And of lasting significance. The story of troops who fault and died but who are often forgotten. And driven outcomes that shape the middle east of today. This is gold more one through our oh i see. Malick to rekey the 2 new zealand writer and broadcaster is taking is on a personal journey across a dozen countries. His grandfathers Generation Force in the war. So far hes explored how thousands of arabs were conscripted by the british and French Colonial powers in north africa. And how arabs were forced to fight on both sides for the european allies and the central powers setting muslim against muslim. And the vital role played by arab troops in the ottoman army again literally. In this episode he looks at the roots of why the ultimate is joined the war at home. How the european powers viewed the Ottoman Empire as ripe for division and exploitation. And the suffering when the also Man Government of young turks cracked down on the arab provinces. And the little known story of a future zionist leader in the ultimate world. Bullish jewish students walked along here 911 his name david had been guardian or would become the 1st Prime Minister of israel. Cannot live there how to go after half a year live there.

Have the ability one at the about how the ill be out in a courage when he there like a spotted been nabbed as my to study how dare. You have the weather you don. How the hell how to land at the unhappy how when our german name than a poor new mayor the color and it to how do you. A very good question and one with roots deep in autumn in history. Before reading 30 the Ottoman Empire stretched from mesopotamia in the east to the red sea and most of the north african coast. But over the next 80 or so heres the ottomans last algeria tunisia egypt and in 1912 libya. Then they lost territories much closer to home and the balkan wars of 912913. So britain france and russia began plotting how to exploit the potential collapse of salt on our docket needs empire for their own individual benefit. Not to have made the 2nd will rule the empire from 87629000 or 8 or 9000 or 9 felt that western european powers were playing dirty games. In his mind and the minds of the advisers around him and many other knobs are near appealed powers were supporting nationalist Independence Movement within the Ottoman Empire he thought that the great powers were using religion especially christianity to mobilize those nationalist movement in an effort to undermine the Ottoman Empire. The sultans view was not wrong. The european powers and so on rest in the arab world after nearly 400 years of ultimate rule as an opportunity. But there was a stumbling block provincial arab leaders and intellectuals were thinking about gaining independence from the ultimate. But for ordinary arabs the sultan in istanbul was the kaleb of islam the leader of the muslim world. Whichever side you were on there was a close bond with the calle of respect and loyalty for him across the arab world. And incident later in the war illustrated this clearly. The british captured 700 iraqi soldiers in 1970 and sent them to egypt. The british offer to free the prisoners if theyd support an arab revolt against the ultimate led by saudi for the saying of mecca but few iraqis accepted most were uneasy at the idea of challenging the caylus. Books such as the 1938 work by George Antonius the arab revolt exaggerated the support of shoddy preuss ains 1916 revolt against the ottomans and exaggerated and painted a very negative image of on him in a rule of 400 years of ottoman rule and even many european colonialists tended to denigrate the ottoman past and to the point of referring to it as so despotic and backward that it almost welcomed the arrival of european colonialism. They also manami was also diverse in november 914 up 2300000 of their troops were arabs from greater syria. Of the armys 9 most senior commanders 2 were all bamiyan 2 from the caucasus and 2 arabs. And in politics Saeed Halim Pasha the grand vizier all Prime Minister was from egypt. The british had to find a way to challenge this holy bond between the kaleb in istanbul and his loyal arab muslim citizens. They approached hussein bin ali the sheriff of mecca he was a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad leader of the hush of my people and ruler of islams most holy place. The british thought he alone could challenge the kayleigh from istanbul. But he would not be straightforward. On the eve of world war one most arabs were largely supportive of the Ottoman Empire. They regarded it as a protector of the an islamic identity in an era of expanding european colonialism even many arab christians and jews especially after 1008. 00 welcomed the liberal reforms and wrote glowingly hand out the of these reforms and have these iraq and rarely ever call for independence for the arab people. Tonight you know it was a significant here in this unfolding story that was when the new leaders of the committee of union and progress the young turks staged a coup removing sultan of those from me the 2nd from power. They started out in 1000 eat with a project of trying to hold that empire get there on the basis of question.

All the may not have intended it that they found themselves fighting to me in n. P. P. Treat. From 9. 11 years from italys in the nation only on once then came the balkan wars and then there came to create. This change this transformed issue actually. Promising and bringing freedom to not peoples into one meeting in. Defeat in the balkans hard in the young turks and they tighten their grip on their arab possessions the market of 191213 catastrophic defeat and finally the action from what had become of all kinds brought about and enormous fun to jump in the development and education of turkish nationalists and also they became more and more dictatorial. The young turks had hoped to stay out of the war and ally themselves with britain and france but neither of these 2 countries would go against russia so they were not an option. Besides the ottomans and germany had a history of friendship. Geyserville him the 2nd 1st visited istanbul in 889 to befriend sultan. 9 years later he landed at haifa on a state visit to the ultimate east 2. They made a ceremonial entry into jerusalem. And visited the tomb in damascus of salahuddin the famous mediaval muslim oriya who defeated the crusaders. There was mass celebration when he announced the germany would pay for the renovation of his grave. The kaiser also declared his friendship of the worlds 300000000 muslims and gained the nickname. Vilhelm so germany was a natural ally. But the young turks were also gambling that the european war might be over quickly. At the time there were series and. Prospect of voice in europe that in fact the civilized european powers would not fight each other for very long that this was a crisis but a cry for that might.

Its borders its institution and to restrain finn and this period under which there would have germany as an ally. However germany needed this deal as much as the ultimate. They were outnumbered on the ground in europe and could open a new Eastern Front against russia and the british. The german general era gluten doff wrote that ultimate entry into the war enabled the central powers to soldier on for another 2 years otherwise the war might well have been over by 916. This is the house in istanbul of anwar pasha he led the secret negotiations with germany on behalf of the young turk or unionist government.
