Great doc. Love the historic perspective on such important matters that are still on the front pages 100 years later. It is unfortunate this information is not front and center when the Palestine/Israel or any Mid-East matter hits the news.
They're STILL trying to keep the lid back even after the secret of Sykes-Picot agreement was already revealed in 1917. The remaining actors involved still want the sykes -picot remains a mystery. After all, the agreement was conceived in secrecy. Bad for the perpetrators because in 1917 the bolshevik revolution took place and edged out the tsarist government who were part of the secret initiative to divide the middle east. The communist spilled the bean to the costernation of UK and France. UK was embarrased by the revelation. Its image drastically tarnished it forced one of its prime movers (Mcmahon) to resign.

All regions had their dark ages. Byzantine was to your east and it was much more advanced in everything when Europe was a gloomy cloud. Get of your high horse please. People in the Middle East were closer to it then you ever would be. They inherited it much better than the Venetian envy and the Crusaders, which pillaged and ransacked the city to a tee, before the Ottomans ever breached the walls. We even have Celtic heritage sprinkled in this region dating back 300 BC. To presume that Europe was the only beacon of civilization is just a selfish allusion of grandeur. The current tacitness for this intrigue and double cross(Sykes-Picot) is making everything worse in the perception of any person regardless of their heritage. Unless they suffer from cognitive dissonance. It is easy to disregard millions of people as backward thinking and insignificant after you exploited them and all their generations that came after. This dramatization (video) ain't bad. Production is above average. But beyond the presentation all the talking points are facts. These and more. Accountability is the golden trait here, not excusing everything on the basis of ''Middle East was dark all along..''
Well the media we are talking under is based on the infamous intrigues which actually is nothing more than imperial ambitions. Yes the Middle East today is the fruit of western aspirations. Lacking acknowledgment about this crucial matter is saddening. The Middle East and Ottomans in general never left Trafalgar. They never ventured into the open seas. That was all there is to it. You can sugarcoat it however you like but in the end it boils down to that.
Everyone was shafting everyone, and some were better at it than others. There were differences in shafting styles, too, with some kinds being relatively civilized and others downright brutal.
10:59 Since when is the most logical way of defeating an enemy to take on yet another? Selective truth from Al-Jazeera as is often the case. Germany and the Ottoman Empire were drawn to each other, yes, because of Russia’s threat to Turkey, but also because of the great value to Germany of transforming the Ottoman presence in the Middle East into a serious threat for Britain’s trade route with India. All this and more is clear from the first page of Cambon’s letter at 12:54, to which no attention is given!
You nation was never one in the first place! The only time it was united was under the Ummayads, never again until the Ottoman times united for 400 years.
Over Africa. 1885 Berlin Conference was a meeting between 14 european nations who would declare war on Africa and decide which nations would get what land, mainly for mineral resources hence countries like Ivory Coast (Cote d'ivoire), Nigeria, DRC etc. As the Germans got the short end of the stick, they declared war on Europe for the resources of Africa and subsequently went into France, Poland and the Rhineland as example for Coal, Timber and Farmland Respectively. Very insidious but was the main reason was for mineral resources and land control of Africa. Study the Berlin Conference more and you'll understand.

Hi everyone I got distracted at 26:51 What is that big long building? Anyone know ? Otherwise thanks for the vid. It contains information that everyone ought to know but which many english people are not aware.
It is true that I am a resident of Hijaz, in the end, the Arabs cut off the heads of the Ottomans, and their cemeteries are now located in Saudi Arabia
Actually, I would call this a pretty badly produced documentary. It would be nice if it STARTED with showing a map and explaining exactly what Sykes and Picot agreed upon. Instead, it is spending a lot of time doing...what...development? I can find out much faster what the agreement said and see it on a map if I turn this off now and look up a text site. So that is what I will do.
I hate it when its an English doco and they put waaaaay too much foreign language experts... you lose the concentration trying to read the interpretation
Documentaries like this are why I love Al Jazeera! Fantastic work!!!
Historical technicalities of this sort make for better future historians and strategists - Bravo Al Jazeera

Thank you.
this is the reason why there will NEVER be peace in the Middle East.
so sad
Iraq was secular and technologically advanced before the U.S. conquered it, so you're wrong. Foreign meddling and colonialism set it back.

the french diplomat said. ;there is no saladiin to save the Arabs; it's true.
Salahattin was not an Arab but a Kurd under Turkish command at the time.
Israel will save the Arabs from tbere Petrol and lands.
Saladin was a Muslim first then a kurd.He was not a nationalist.
There are many Arabs such as Salah al-Din

Not sure why, but this documentary is incorrectly stating that the Ottoman Empire joined WW1 after Bulgaria did. It's the other way around.
Istanbul was previously called as islambul..
Constantinople.
The Roman Constantine made it his headquarters hence the name :)

One thing is they didn't gave the Kurds their land (country(

U kurds are one of the most oppressed people in the Middle East.
Kurds are still being used by western governments to keep Turkey and middle east in check by the promise of Kurdistan. So sad
@@shamimshaikh5521 The West are criminals who hide behind human rights
The Kurds weren't independent before Sykes-Picot, they were ruled by the Ottomans.
