    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

      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.
