I am very pleasantly surprised that you guys called the Osmanli empire which is the true name of the empire I really appreciate that kind of attention to detail. That really amazes me
Please do ottoman mamluk war and add Muhammad Ali pasha war against ottomans to really understand the Arab revolt in Hejaz.
Couple mistakes Muhammad Ali pasha dynasty outlived the ottomans. From 1805 to 1952 and the Saudi state also outlived the ottomans from 1729 till now. The arab world also had dynasty and countries that are older then usa 🇺🇸 (Saudi, Oman, Morocco)

My tribe in Somalia never revolted against the ottomans and we fought the British for 22 years from 1899 to 1921. We was the last sultanate to get help from ottomans and first country in Africa to be bombed. The british infilterated friendly tribes and brought their colonialist subjects to fight us. In 2023 Still the British regime is supporting their friendly tribes against us in northern somalia called today british Somaliland.
Big love to Somalia from Morocco, y'all are real warriors
@ zak bro chill with that qabilist motivations u know full well Somalis fought as one against the colonialists. Somaliland sought its birth way after the Ottoman Empire.

Ottomans handled so many conflicts during its lifetime, it is impressive how the state survived until 1922. And with only one bloodline.
yes very impressive
Funny enough the last of them got on a British ship and fled after an Ottoman army officer, a marshall gathered up the people and revolted against handing over the country to West, thanks to him and the people we now have a place to call home. Amazing story really.

Contrary to the misconceptions, Ottomans didn't see themselves as solely inheritors of Persians or Romans or even inheritors of Turkic culture. They saw themselves as Ottomans, first and foremost, not only the legit heirs of both Persian, Byzantine(Roman) and Turkic cultures, but legit overlords of them all. Hence they used the titles Sultan, Khan and Kayser all at the same time.
....
The names of the Ottomans are Arabic or Persian?? Muhammad and Abdul Hamid or Zardasht and Khosrau?
The religion of the Ottomans is Islam or Zoroastrianism??
The Ottomans alphabet is Arabic or Persian??
The caliphate is the caliphate of Omar or Khosrau??
In Hagia Sophia, the names of Muhammad, Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, Ali, or Zardasht, Khosrau, and Cyrus?
Ottomans perform their prayers in Arabic or Persian?

As an Algerian I see this as a sad part in Islamic history
Before sheriff Hussain, British tried to bribe Emir abd alkader so he can declare himself caliph of Arabs, he was Algerian figure who fought the french and was descended from the prophet cousin Ali, letters of allegiance started flowing to him but he refused and remained in Syria
@@Spartan-jg4bf It was colonized after all, by non-muslims, and became worse than ever. So this question doesn't make any sense.
@@Spartan-jg4bf it should have been done through diplomacy just like we broke away in 1671 while keeping our nominal vassal status while recognising the Ottoman as caliph of Islam similar to the Abbasid decline, however asking the Europeans for direct involvement was a big mistake made by our eastern brethren
@@Spartan-jg4bf "foreigners"?! There are no foreigners in Islam, just be a Good (in politics, military, economics, etc...) Muslim leader, and you can be Muslims' emir, sultan or imam. There is no "foreigner" in Islam. We are not nationalists, we are Muslims

Ottomans were no longer a Muslim empire then. You delude yourself in lies. It was controlled by the Young turks and they were indulged in secularism and Taghuts.

Thank you the Video and the English subtitle.
As a Syrian, whose grandfathers fought with the Ottomans, I see this revolt as a curse, the main reason of it was that nationalism overshadowed our religious values.
for years, we achieved glory not because we were Arabs, but because we were Muslims believing in Brotherhood between us despite racial differences, thats why Turks were ruled by Arabs and Arabs were ruled by turks, Islam united us and made us the greatest, once nationalism came in, we immediately collapsed.
true ! the blame is not on the arabs alone, there was a major corruption going on on muslim lands overall. just look at the cursed young turks and what they did….
curse for you heaven for the peninsula arabs! for the first in the last 2 millennium an ethnic levantine get to rule over the levant but you failed badly so blame no one but yourself.
There is no Turkish, Arab, Persian, Kurdish, Indian, African, European, etc. There is only Muslim and Islam Alhamdulillah

I wish you did mention the Arab revolution did reach Syria and the son of the sheriff, Faisal, became the king of Syria for few months before he was defeated in Maysalun battle against the French few miles before Damascus. It was this king that was given the puppet state in Jordan. Though he was the only one of his family to keep his kingdom and his dependences still rule Jordan till our day.
MORE OTTOMAN VIDEOS PLEASE ❤❤❤❤
The "revolt" did not reach Syria. The majority of Syrians fought for the Ottomans, despite their oppression. The Levant was conquered mainly by British troops, and Damascus itself was conquered by Australian troops. Syrians did not accept this random, unknown bedouin named Feisal son of Hussein as their king.
@@AppleCinnamonPie I can tell you there were Sunni Lebanese clans in the northern mountains of Lebanon who had tension and on an off fights for decades before the Arab revolt.
@@finalprophet813 I'm sure there were. But again, the *vast* majority of Arabs fought for the Ottomans. We can't even say that Lebanese participated in the revolt because it was only a tiny fraction of them.
@@finalprophet813 Well Lebanese fighting for against the Ottoman Empire probably thinking that it will help them to get the British Empire to kick the Catholic Christian or the Greek one out and favor them. Either way whatever the outcome. It will end up the same a total chaos for Lebanon. That region was alway a hot mess before the dismantle of the Ottoman Empire. Like Israel and Palestine years latter.
This is a Grand Topic we need follow up videos there are missing info.
I just want to mention that this "Arab" revolt only concerned the bedouins of Sherif Hussein's tribe in the Hejaz. Very, very few Arabs from Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Nejd, Yemen, or other areas participated in this revolt, and it was considered "largely unsuccessful" by British authorities. In fact, the vast majority of Arabs fought _for_ the Ottomans, and even after the war, when Hussein's son Feisal was "crowned" king of Syria, the people largely did not accept him.
you are a liar !

Everywhere we go.. We see it's sins 🇬🇧🇺🇲
There were revolts in all the Arab cities, that's why the Ottoman Army retreated to Turkish areas very fast. They knew they could easier fight and defend the fatherland.
awesome video!
as a turkish person i love african arabs but middle eastern ones are quite pragmatic and non-loyal. You can see that by learning history as well. They revolted to ottomans to take middle east to themself and now middle east is a volcano.
Oh yes, because the Ottomans were very peaceful and good leaders. Their decisions definitely did not result in the execution of Syrians and Lebanese, nor in a famine that killed millions of them.
@@JSamadFamine affected every part of the empire, Turks died as well. The executed Arabs were the traitors.
You missed the entire point of the video... The revolt was hugely the result of the misconducts of the Ottomans not the Arabs they ruled over. Pan-Turkism, mistreatment of local populations, and frankly bootlicking and European Powers is what made the people they ruled over mistrust them, if the Ottomans did not want a revolt, they should have protected us more like the Caliphates before them.
Non-loyal? Please, Ottomans served themselves. The arabs loyalty is what blinded them from seeing that the Ottomans who rule over them are barely muslims. How many sultans went to Hajj in mecca? Famine, insecurity, shirk, illiteracy!
I can go on and one every town in Hejaz has enough stories and evidences of how the Ottomans despised the arabs... some call it inferiority complex.
I dare you to bring one thing that the Ottomans did to benfits the arabs when they were "loyal" to them.
Why would the arabs be loyal to ottomans? Who are the ottomans? The ottomans shouldnt even rule at all
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job

@@antoniosdimoulas3566 The people of the region didn't consider the Ottomans occupiers until the 20th century because the Ottomans were a legitimate Muslim caliphate, the British and the French were NOT.

Never and i repeat never those time like since the medival time to discussing of a mordem era of 19th to 21th century.
That the same reason why many suffer even when got them rid of the Turk. It alway blaming the Turk when other factor also tributed to it you inogred. I don't stand with the Turk. What you saying just like those nationalism that plunged the world into a world war all for their ideal of an old passing age. Which it already did, if it not the Turk doing the thing. It the other nation or people who claimed they doing it for their nation. And i am looking at the Balkan Country who even after getting rid of the Turk didn't satisfy and caused many more like them. Only this time they was the agression one instead of the Turk to those they consider not part of them or those still loyal to the Ottoman. Hypocrites all of them. Then again we are all human. What to expect.

Excellent channel loads of interesting content 👍
This would be a really interesting video series to watch.
There are some points that are missed. Regarding the bedouins, up until the ending decades of the 19th century they were essentially ungoverned and so untaxed. After the reforms the Ottomans decided to start governing them which meant imposition of heavy taxation and corrupt administrators. This alone had significantly contributed to their resentment. As the new governing infrastructure was based on the Hejaz railway it was especially hated.
Regarding the rural Arabs in the Levant region, the reforms brought them almost nothing creating an extremely feudal society with absentee lanlords (who frequently were christians) owning entire towns while living in Beirut or Istanbul. The reforms strengthened the rich merchants who became said landlords. The levantine arabs didn't joined the revolt but were apathetic to both sides.
Love supporting the content!

From which books did the writer take historical facts ?
Abu Musa al-Ashari reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You will never have faith until you love each other. Shall I tell you what will make you love each other?" They said, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said, "Spread peace between yourselves. By the one in whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you are merciful to others." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, all of us are merciful." The Prophet said, "Verily, it is not only mercy between yourselves, but rather it is mercy for everyone."

Being a long time viewer of this Rich channel, I think this bit was not enough to portray the full picture of the Arab Revolt. I think you should consider making a series about the downfall of Ottomans in the Arabia connecting them to the events from crimean war to the great war and other muslim perspectives like in Indian subcontinent. You may consider discussing the religious perspective too. You could even collaborate with Al-Muqaddimah too as he seems to be an expert on this topic. That'd be worthy of a watch. Keep up the good work. Kudos.

Awesome video! I feel like the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire is a topic most of us in the West don't know much about.
Some parallels with other empires that broke up when the monarch attempted to centralise control of of the colonies, like George III losing America, or the alienation of the Hispanic elites by the Spanish Bourbon reforms. Could you do a video on the Hispanic American wars of independence? Thanks.
The British and French betrayal of the Arabs is rarely talked about nowadays.
Most westerners have no idea about these things and only those that dive into these things start to understand the history.
@kızgın tosbağa they are complicit because their nation benefitted. But not all Muslims betrayed the ottomans only certain tribes who still hold power in certain regions. The ottomans was not perfect either. In 18 century they wanted to become western Europeans so bad , thats when they went downhill.
Right the british presented a little gift call "nationalism" and we know what came next.
Next time just rinse it down the sewer.
"rarely talked about" okay....
@@samizakariya5155bruh i heard some arabs saying the banned a printing machine or something and now u r saying this. They wanted to make modern not western
@@muhammaduzair2674Nah,,Ottomans certainly wanted to become european so bad. How do u think they got the nickname of "Sick man of Europe". Like the guy before said both Ottomans and arabs share heavy amount of blame of this.
In Jordan we studied that the reasons the Arab revolted were:
_The high taxes forced.
_Forcing the Turkish language upon Arabs and trying to erase Arabic.
_Treating Arabs like second class citizens
_Military conscription upon Arabs
_Jon Turkler movement and ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyeti and Sultan Abdulhamid dismissal.
But we also been been taught about the ottomans fairly and that they had their ups and downs and they weren't occupiers and we were part of their empire.
Even the turks were taught that the ottomans want to erase the Turkish language and replace the Arabic on it's place ,

@@asd-ip5hjoh no please help us mister Turk… LMAO we don’t need you trash bags help, lmao go help your crumbling currency .last time you were kicked out of Arabia if you want we can come and kick you out of Anatolia too if you want.
Informative video. Please do the Sassanid/ Roman wars of 602-628 AD. No channel has the graphic and the narrator voice as K&G.🙏
They already covered that I think.
@@kevinyonan2147 They're outdated and too old so yep K&G will consider releasing them with better graphics and new overlook.
Is there first video btw
@@Shahanshah101 nah is already persian history isn't fascinating btw
@@ziyadamir8187 No it is not
Very interesting video
Can you please do a video about moroccan saadis and their battles against portuguese empire and ottomans.
Their revolt should be blamed for what is happening to the Palestinians people today.
Yes that is why this is happening, their kin should have never rebelled! All they had to do was bend knees, pay taxes, and breed camels 🐫
@@Yoo-yooYeshuaJEW
I loved the reference to Yes Minister, truly the best British sitcom ever created!
At the end divide and conquer by the British won.
The Ottomans were oppressing the Arabs. The Arabs had every right to stand up to the Ottomans, its just sad that the Europeans didn't hold on to their promise and only made part of it independent.
History tells Empire never last British Empire also didn't last. Now world is better place.
@@sitarampradhan8488 its not for arabs know mate they are being bombed
Yep, and they got their israel, 40 years later than intended bc the great Atatürk, as winston churchill said but they still got it
@@Zysuzuuauajz Not true, the main reason why the British supported the idea of the Jews getting their own home were the events of the Holocaust. Before the idea was not that popular in the UK.
You can't prevent something that was never would of happened in the first place.
In the social hierarchy there were clear distinctions of status and power between “ Turks ” ( atrak ) , the term usually applied by native Egyptian writers to both Ottomans and Mamluks , and the Arabic - speaking indigenous population whom those in power often lumped together as " peasants " ( fallahin ) regardless of occu- pation or residence .

If someone calls a people by their own name like Osmanlı you know he knows what he is talking about! Great content!
Who else noticed the Civ5 Ottoman theme in there? Nice reference!
Yes, indeed. Civ soundtrack is often used in K&G videos. Videos for Celts, Mesopotamian civilizations, Mongolian empire involved it as well. Maybe others too, haven't noticed.
I hope u read this, u never dissapoint us with ur content. I am 100% sure that I would never find better videos covering Muslim/Arab history with such details. Well done!
Thanks for watching! There is always room to improvement, but we'll do our best.
You are wrong, the map that the video depends on is not true
Yeah most of the videos are somehow borderline xenophobic while K&G are actually non biased.
Yes bro i love this channel for this. I like that he doesn't just cover European history and actually branches off to alot of other parts of the world unlike so many history channels
Nice video, liked the maps, i especially like the Senussi on the side, except for one thing - those maps that showed the Sudan did not show the independent Muslim country of Darfur.
Also while you concentrated on the Hejaz and the Sharif of Mecca, you did not mention the near constant fighting between Saud Nejd and Jabal Shammar, the puppet of Ottomans. That would lead to after the WWI to house of Saud conquering all Arabia. The British allied/aided Saud early in WWI, much earlier than Hejaz revolt.
Of course so did Abir also.
But a great video over all.
Did they?
They supplied arms but most of it was literally in WW1, the british only really supplied weapons to Saud but Hussein got political support + much more weaponry. Thing is though alsaud were already at war with the Ottoman puppets before the british got involved or WW1 in general. So it was just alignment from their side, while hussein flipped.
Pretty sure the British also forced Alsaud to stop ikhwan raids constantly on their protectorate in kuwait and stopped the earlier hejaz war but then stayed neutral later in the second one
@@iberionbaratheon7927 they literally had abdulaziz in their pocket since he was a teenager in in Kuwait, it was recorded by sir Percy cox.
i love his videos voice is so 👌
Imagine: helping the British conquer Mekka agains the Khalif...

@@fisalalmalki6090 ?
The loss of one is the gain of many, I guess. A lot of people internally and externally seemed to want a piece of the Ottomans at that moment.
Absence of the Ottomans in middle east is still more preferable to those that haven't seen the horrors of war
a grave mistake committed by allies. very grave.
Totally true. I can give two examples approving your comment: 1) balkans 2) middle east
@@kayagurcu2814 they are healing their wounds from you, the problems caused lkke mass deportations and demographic changes after all the massacres lead to modern suffering, in short we dont want your ottomans back
Noy a mistake from the allies but mistkae of the last rulers of the ottomans tanzimat , young turks and all tgese seculars and nationalist. İf you start nationalism why every one will start nationalism.
1- There is literally a museum for the house of British spy Lawrence in Arabia. He is honored and seen as a hero by Saudis. So I think knowing that already clears up many things on this case.
2- There is literally a Hilton Hotel upon the graveyard of first caliph of Islam
3- First wahabi revolts occurred during rule of Mahmud II (first reformist Ottoman sultan) and wahabis sacked the tomb of prophet's relatives. All of them were repaired by Turks.
4- A person from west interested in that case must learn the difference between Turkish way of Islam and Wahhabi fundamentalism. Even during under the most conservative and islamic sultan of Ottoman Empire Turks have never came in terms with Gulf Arabian way of islam which is incredibly backwards and purist. Most of Arabs (except Lebanon Iraq and Syria) anyway never accepted the caliphate of Ottomans since Selim conquered Egypt and Arab lands.
5- Arab Revolts were a reaction to Turkish nationalism in regions like Lebanon and parts of Syria however it was nothing but a British backed division plan when you look at southern parts. The amount of gold given to Saudi warlords by British during these years is beyond belief. All was to control them. Arabs were promised a large Arabia reaching to southeast of Turkey but of course they had to sit and accept what their bosses offer them while giving all rights to British to obtain their oil sources. How heroic right?
6- All in all as a Turk I am extremely happy that we could cut our ties with this part of the world and we could differentiate ourselves from them by any means.
whabies are way more closer to the traditions of islam than you. the reason why wahabies have demolished those graves is that many people were venerating the graves and even in some cases worshiping them which is strictly prohibited by the prophet himself.
You can always rely on a turk to lie
"All in all as a Turk I am extremely happy that we could cut our ties with this part of the world and we could differentiate ourselves from them by any means."
Lol you act like you were forced to be there or something you are the ones who horribly ruled that region for 300yrs straight and still dont want to accept it. And yes you did differentiate yourselves by moving away from ottoman turkish and Islam claiming you want your own identity... but then adopt latin letters for your language and westernize your traditions and culture. 😂 Fake identity
"Wahhabi fundamentalism" my goodness hhhhhhhhh
turks try to figure out the difference between the saudis and the hashemites challenge (impossible)
@@blueyy9117 like any single person cares. You live under dynasties, even your police officers are selected from a family. And the ones ruling Arabia right now were the ones shook hands with British.
Revolt? It should be called betrayed.
It's revolt and independent diplomacy.
Lol
@@anonymoussoul3343 And in the end you got your "nice independent" Arab states in the Middle East, didn't you?
More Arabs fought and died for the ottomans
@@ouzd.19 yes, now they can kick out the dictator. But previously they used to be killed and suffered a lot.
Loved the Yes Minister reference best sitcom ever too bad the remake was lackluster
can you also please make the history of Harar, there seems to be minimal history on this.
Are u hariir
My heart cries seeing how the sharif chose the brits over the caliph. Its only the indian muslims who supported the caliph until the abolition of caliphate.
The “Yes Prime Minister” reference was very much appreciated
I love The video
Love the series big fan. A couple of comments the clip does not highlight and I think they should be included for the history narrative.
1) Sykes Picot treaty between France and England. This treaty was forged in secret to occupy Ottoman territory after Arabs promised Arabs independence in return for revolting. This also includes taking away territories in Anatolia.
2) western powers had long had interests in Ottoman territory especially after oil discovery in Iraq. This of course shaped future conflicts in the region and still does.
3) being a Plural society in the Middle East Europe nationalism would never work and this something everyone failed to understand wether it is arab or Turkish nationalism. This idea had died out eventually. This also applies to the Balkans as it got partitioned and still has conflict and strife.
4)western powers instigated some revolts directly or indirectly via investments or missionaries or protectorates of minorities. I can name one is the Syrian/Lebanese civil war between Druze and Maronites.
5) the Egyptian incursion led by Mohamed ali took a toll on the region. As during that time the Egyptian army (cause we are taking arab or be specific Arabs in Arabian peninsula) was more modernized and better equipped than their ottoman counterparts literally Britain had to send their Navy and Aid the Ottomans.
6) Famine struck the whole region due to the war effort and British and French navy blockades and poor ottoman management.
7) some Arabs fought with the ottomans to the bitter end all the way to Gallipoli.
8) Young Turk and Al Fatat should be mentioned regarding Turkish and Arabic nationalizing ideals.
9) at a later stage prosecution of Arabs and not being in high official ranks who were against pan Turkism and joining World War One. Need a dive on how Ottomans moved from Tanzimat to Panturkisim who took power after and took decision to enter World War One.
Overall I like this episode keep them coming.
The British and French shaped Italy into nationalism through "young Italy". It was done against Austria and Spain, who had current Italian territory divided between them.
Young Turks is the copy of Young Italy.
@@dehaman_4_144 Or in this case for Enver Pasha he more like trying the coping Bismarck the way of unifying Germany.
hey there, seems you have a great knowledge regarding this topic. Can you recommend me some books for this topic?
The Ottomans were a multi-ethnical, multi-religious, multi-ideological Empire wiith everyone wanting their own state with their own ideology and their own doctrine. Not hard to figure out, why things didn't work out, regardless of which direction the young turks could have taken.
I am betting they didn't saw the the Austrian Hungry situation or they just looking at Germany for their model. Austrian , Russian and Ottoman literally the all in the same case yet rather than fixing in the internal one they rather fought each over another ethinic piece of land.
@@thanhhoangnguyen4754 there was no fixing to it. It was the age of nationalism.
@@justsefa1843 Yeah that why i felt poor for those multi ethnic Empire like Austria Russia and Ottoman. They literally a powder keg. And of course the first world war have to be caused by nationalism.
Ottoman empire were a "succesor" of the islamic empire. Compare it to Holy roman empire, claiming they are succesors to the ancient romans. So of course its diverse, but they were horrible.
Britain (with a stick poking the Arabs) "c'mon... *poke* *poke* do a revolt"
A proverbial Jim Hacker would take advice from a foreign foreign minister and send an awful lot of goodwill for a “visit” to the Ottomans and the Arab areas.
As a person who comes from a Greek family from Jeddah, I appreciate the video
huh ?
Were your family present there from Ottoman times? I think Jeddah was the site of an Ottoman fort previously?
@@sagapoetic8990
Jeddah is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the meaning of Jeddah in the Arabic language is the grandmother
@@sagapoetic8990 Yes, they were many forts in Hejaz, but Jeddah didn’t have one. The city had walls tho

Independence may be trouble for you, but not to the sensible person. Do you want the freedom of palestine? No?
Not sure if you’ll see this but I’m 15 and am making a podcast on the Punic wars. I’ve been a fan for a few year now and am wondering where you got the sound effect for 4:50? Can I use it in my podcast?
As far as I know they use epidemic sound for musics and sound fx
You can use sound effects from strategy games. But, I'm not sure it is ethical or have copyright problems.
When I went to Turkey in 2016, our tour guide blamed this all on the British, claiming that the Arabs loved being under Ottoman rule until Lawrence of Arabia manipulated them into backstabbing the Turks.
Tour guides are not historians and, sadly, often study a single narrative to then relay to the tourists. Not to mention Turkish State has adopted a policy of 'washing their hands off everything' with, not really a revisionist, but omittal type of history. You'll see a lot of Turks being rather misinformed about their own history because of this consequently. Whilst good parts are told, even the neutral parts of the history are often omitted unless one takes the pains to research it. Studying Ottoman History in high school is funny because of this, since it is very.. frontloaded so to speak.
Arabs didnt love anything about ottomans. Some of them however fought with ottomans, not because they liked them, but because they were against the british. The ottomans were horrible, backward and barbaric.
You should make a video of the rise of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk to modern Turkey to the Ottoman empire being dissolved.
