The present problems in the middle east can not be understood without listening to the Arab version of the problems , sadly most western people have only ever heard the western versions of the problems , this 3 part documentary will be essential for anybody really wanting to find a solution the the present wars in the region .
This is an amazing and truly eye-opening view of WWI. We all, Americans, like myself, Europeans, Arabic peoples… Indians, Pakistani, African… all people, tend to see the world through the lens of the culture in which they live. Thank you for this view of WWI through Arab eyes! As an American in my early 60s, I too, tend to see the world through the lens of my culture. Through an American perspective.
An enlightening collection of archive material and cross referenced perspectives. I appreciate you (all involved) for presented this - it is/was not fruitless. Indeed, so many suffer - peculiar that mankind shys away from the responsibility for / towards the consequences of his/her actions, or aquiescence to others actions in their name.
It was the Peace to end all Peace. Like the historian David Fromkin called his great book. It a good book, try to obtain a copy and keep it in your bookshelf.
Emin Saadaoui The British were fiendishly clever in using Arab anti Ottoman sentiment to divide Islam in those days. Then oil was found....well we know the rest.
Marocain séculier I asked one question just one.".What arabs achieved for last 200 years?"Naturally no answer.The only answer is "Ataturk gay" bla bla bla.
Again, there was a talk about Sharif Hussein ibn Ali but no words about how Mubarak al-Sabah of Kuwait betrayed Sultan Abdul Hamid II even before WW1, in 1899. And no words about how Abdul Aziz ibn Saud signed a treaty with the British in 1915. And no words about how ibn Saud captured Al-Hassa in 1913 with the support of the British. It is unfair to throw all blame to Sharif.
Thank you AJ for posting this informative series. I can't help but feel sick and sad when ever I hear about about the horrid Sykes-Picot and Balfour. If only these assholes (and their greedy masters) could see the perpetuation of blood and chaos that would follow. I am curious however, why T.E. Lawrence was not mentioned in this series, as I see he was pictured with Prince Faisal. I was curious to hear, from an Arabs perspective, how Lawrence was viewed in terms of his role in the Arab revolt and his attempt at Arab unity.
I caught him in one picture in this documentary. He's not quite the hero the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" made him out to be. That movie implies that the entire Arab revolt was dependent upon him. Clearly this shows it was not.
How could Sharif ever have thought that revolting against their allies and joining their allies enemy would ever be a good idea.. so many holes in decision making it is unbelievable.. British and French interests in the Middle East were so obvious weren't they? GB bloody took over Egypt didn't they, mainly due to interests in India, so what would make it easier to get to India? Umm through northern Arabia, of course! Just looking at the track record of European colonisation it should've been clear that they were bad news. Oh dear, the best solution for Arabs would have been to support Ottoman rule throughout. You don't know how good you have it until it's gone.
+Lostlikeyou Have you heard of injustice? They say that's what was happening back then, and that's why Arabs wanted to revolt. If you read history you will realize that the ottomans were very oppressive during the last 50 years or so.. Had there been justice, there wouldn't have been a revolt.. That's just a universal law..
The Sharif was in charge and he did what ever he thought good for him. He was betrayed. The question you are asking after hundred years has all the answer in the history book
@@P0emaa really there are some abcent stories how Sharif Hussein refused all treaties including Treaty of Versailles. Do not judge people on their deeds, but on their intentions. Sharif Hussein did not intended to spread turmoil. Instead, he intended to reform.
Arab culture and history is so absolutely interesting I really recommend everyone to do some research on ummayad Spain , Islamic art and architecture, the Abbasids and much more They were brilliant people , and we have so many greek and Roman works because of the Islamic empires translations of these texts
The Arab world was never backward Colonialism and ottoman control had sent them back in there progress When Europe was in its dark ages , Islamic scholars were studying Greek and Roman tests , they were anayzling the moon stars and sky , they experimented with chemistry , and all Kinds of new ideas The Arab / Muslim world were the new Rome for a very long time
It is no coincidence that the Arabs are now trying to survive.If you stone the one who gives you bread, you will starve.The price of betraying the Ottomans will last for centuries. Salute to the Arabs fighting for the unity of the Ottoman and Islamic world
Ok ok. First of all, I am Arab; and very much proud of being an Arab. However, it is a bit silly to blame the political turbulence of the Levant on a decision made (precisely) a century ago; it has been more than two generations, like COME ON!!! As much as the narrated events which took place in WW1 are true, we as Arabs, are just as much responsible for the mess we are in. The truth is, we as arabs, are pretty racist and extremely xenophobic; if we weren't, then Sunnis, Shias, Christian Arabs, Syrians, Lebanese, Iraqis and Palestinians would all be living together happily. I mean, are we It is our internalized resentment to others unlike us that makes us so weak. So this documentary, as accurate as it is about historic narration, lacks criticality and objectivity in it's message. Why? Because we are so good at pointing the finger and blame. Case and point: a generation that passed away two generations ago is still the "real" reason for all the political problems we face today in the Levant. So where did all this come from? It is Religion and the rise of its influence on politics; and don't bring up the Ottomans because they themselves adopted a secular philosophy when it came to political exercise; how else do you think they managed to rule over Eastern Europe while earning the trust and loyalty of their janissaries? This disunity is nothing more than the result of what is happening here and now in our generation (maybe our parents), but certainly not at the beginning of the 1900's, and it all began with the direct politicalization of Islam, which went hands in hand with post WW1 Arab nationalism. Peace.
+Elusivekid I agree with your words. Politicalization of Islam ruined the Arab world. If not that, what? I´m Argentine and we have many Arabs living here since ever. I think they came when their countries were under Turkey´s rule because they became known familiarly as Turkish (and not in a derogatory way, I must add) They always lived in peace with their neighbors, they were always very nice hard-working decent people. We never heard of one dispute between Muslims and Christians and Jews in our country , although there was antisemitism as in the rest of the world. But never from our "Turkish" neighbors. They were always peaceful and lovely people. So why can't the rest of the Arabs be like them? I hope one day they will find their truth to be able to unite and get rid of the bad things of today. And by that I mean corrupt leaders and false prophets that are mining their path to a brilliant future. I dream with an Arab future full of knowledge as its past was, when you ruled in Maths and Medicine and so many other things.
One People, broken into so many factions, all pulling in different directions, looking for one man, with a dream of one Islam that all can follow, will they find him? I hope so, for their sake and ours. This is not a war that can be won by the gun, only the Book and the unity it brings will give the Victory they seek. When what unites them becomes more important than what divides them, they will be one people again.
Colonial ambitions were the destructive factors of the world It filled the pockets of French and British elite Honestly France and Britain should be paying reparations to India and the whole Middle East Even tho some those countries are rich now Others like Palestinians are suffering dearly because of British double dealing
French did not GIVE Antakya to Turks. Only way to take land from the colonial powers is to fight them. Turks took the city back by threatening the French. Actually French were very weak at Middle East. I don't understand why the Arabs could not get their land from French by simply fighting them.
The arabs had lost ww1 and ww2 - they never realy had understood why Britain, France, USA - yes even USSR! - was the winner on one side and why Germany was the loser on the other side.
WW2 war was made because of the arabs and thier oil rich region - why do you think why we have today so many problems with arabs? BUT Britian and France wanted to destroy the Ottoman empire to gain new colonies and oil rich regions. Britian did not declare war on Germany becasue of little and unimportant poland - this was only war propaganda. Britian started world war 2 to destroy Germany becasue Germany again was risk for the oil rich regions. THe turks always loved Germany - Germany was the only nation that was a friend becasue Germany never had intention like the Brits or the French to occupy the ottoman because colonies! Britian and France did not make free the ottoma region but their colonies were slav colonies - is this not a reason enough for the turks to hate Britian and F rance and to love Germany that never had any colonies in this regions?
@Max Moya Max - I agree with you! But why did follow Germany a colonialist policy - this was not typical German? Because Wilhelm was half British - he was not German! So he had ideas, for instance, to build up a german fleet that ideas were not a typical german ideas.
+dolphin61wolf But there never was such of thing as an " Arab Nation ". Just tribes who fought each other for control of the territory and the rest is history. Sad, very sad, bu t true.
The ottomans mismanagement should be blamed for the breakup of the caliphate, it is natural for colonized arabs to try and seek independence. BUT THIS SHOWS HOW IGNORANT AND BACKWARDS THE ARABS OF THE TIME. Hope we will learn from the history
The latest outcome from destroying someone else's country is really gathering speed, but there are some aspects that also are becoming clear. The wave of refugees from the middle east to Europe is something all the countries in Europe asked for. They were quite happy to either back or even worse were prepared to assist in bombing these places, with the end result tat there is little left for the population there , so their move to the European countries is not a surprise. However, this has become more than a matter of refugees, I doubt very much if any of them will return to their own country. From day one these people have in many ways made it a little more clear that this is in effect an invasion, and the are not going to accept anything less than the very best of everything. In reality this is the final take over of the best part of the world and it will not be long before all these countries are told that they are now outnumbered and that from now on YOU WILL wereship Ala and that other beliefs are banned. For me the sad part of all this is that behind it is America who being the instigator of the trouble is the one nation to take for its size and its part in the destruction of these peoples way of life, the one nation to take the least refugees. The demise of these people is more than firmly planted on the doorstep of America, and yet the European countries will be the ones forced into ressesion or even worse, which already is very clear that most of the countries involved can clearly not afford to take on such a huge task as supplying the best part of the middle east with their daily needs, most of the countries can hardly keep up with looking after their own people, however, it is the overrun of these countries that I find the biggest worry, as this is not going to be easy to stop, an I can see a lot of violence coming out of all this.
+John Laccohee-Joslin Don't be brainwashed, the Syrian refugees have no business in Europe. Their Arab oil-rich brethren, who always talk about the Arab "ummah" & brotherhood, should've fulfilled that brotherly duty of accepting their Syrian "brothers". But they are well known for being the ultimate hypocrites, closed their borders, so the refugees went to go to a tolerant & culturally liberal place (EU) that unfortunately accepted these hordes. If the EU countries don't enact nationalist & anti-sharia legislation very soon, it won't be another century before Europe is Islamicized, with all the backwardness, misoginy, & lack of industrial innovation that's inherent in Islamisation.
Ends on a very vague conclusion about the present situation. Are we not in 2015, are we not able to really clarify the motivations of all parties having their fingers in the Middle-East affairs and then allow Arabs to form their nations without being propagandized into serving the greedy wars of the old countries? And are they not able to allow Israel, that sliver of land in an ocean of Arab countries, to pursue it's destiny and prosperity in peace? That's the part that is difficult to understand to me. Does it have to be all or nothing?
M. Kemal is not the same person. This video image of him also appered on apocalypse ww1 tv series on 2nd episode. History is written by winners. Hard to reach true information while swimming in deceptions
The series negates to mention a continuous Jewish presence in Palestine for 3000 years. The un vote rejected by the arabs gave 10 percent of modern day Israel to the Jews. In the aftermath of Israeli independence the Arab world kicked out approximately 900000 Jews from their countries. The Iraqi Jewish community dated back to 1000 bc. A larger number of Jews were displaced than Palestinians. Where are the refugee camps for these Jews? They were absorbed into the new country of Israel. Where are the Palestinian refugees. Still in camps. War is horrible. The aftermath is horrible. After the Second World War ten million Germans were displaced and resettled. After Indian independence a similar number were resettled. Why do the Arab nations refuse to resettle their own? Why is it someone else’s problem
