I find it really impressive how Fahreddin Pasha managed to hold out so long in Medina when the nearest Ottoman forces were hundreds if not thousands of kilometers behind enemy lines... And he wasn't even defeated by the Arabs: it was his own men who arrested him and surrendered. Who knows how much longer they could have held out.
dude this video is a masterpice of mapping. I rarely see videos this detailed, including all the rebellions and minor movements that usually get glossed over. Thank you so much for this. You deserve 10,000 subs and more. Thumbs up from me!
it makes me so sad that this fantastic masterpiece, one of the best and most detailed historical mapping videos on yt has only 485 likes... you deserve so much more and i hope your work on this chanel will bring you fame and fortune one day
Two things stuck out regarding this video: 1. How crisp the video is. The red-blue colours used stood out well. But this was complimented by the 4k and something else I can't quite identify. In any case, I have yet to see a more crisp historical video. 2. The music. It worked well to create a cinematic feel that made watching this video feel like an experience. And of course, the level of research. The conflict in the Middle East was not where the research stood out, but rather the rest of the map. Extending the map to India no doubt forced much more research and strained your patience to the limit. Good thing you decided to stop eventually, as adding every detail would have hopelessly delayed the project.
JESUS! Si hasta da dolor de cabeza ver cada minimo movimiento en el mapa y entenderlo... como habra sido HACERLO! Trabajo de locos el tuyo! Felicidades!
This is amazing, a lot of insurgencies, every country had detailed borders, events listed, names on map. Civil war in Russia mapped as side project, clear colors. High quality video, time on research well spent!
I have no idea what those Iranian vassals are. I would love to see a modern history of Iran, the Qajars and after. You seem to know a lot that almost no one else does. Please stay strong, king.❤️
Some minor errors, the "Anaza Sheikhdom" (which it was never under that name), was not a unified entity and is just a vague definition of the various tribes that inhabitated the North of the Arabian interior. The main two parts of the Anazzah tribes was the Sha'alan Kingdom of Northern Arabia in west, ruled jointly by Nuri bin Hazza Al Sha'alan and his son Nawwaf who seized the territories of Al-Jawf and Sakakah from Ibn Rashid in 1908, and in the east, occupying most of the Iraqi desert was the Amarat, under the rule of Fahad bin Abdul Mohsen Al Haddal, more commonly known as Fahad Bey. While de facto he didn't have much power in the region, he was officially recognized as the ruler of the area and attended the Uqair Protocol in 1922.
This is how Central Powers and Allied Powers respected Persia's Neutrality Declaration! This respect repeated in WWII too from the heroes of the world!
Very good video but I noticed there are some events missing but to be fair some are really hard to find information about and you took 2 years to make this video. Also who were the Daba?
Hey koopinator, so i saw that in your video that you showed the persian vassal states with blue lines but i just gotta ask, where did you get the map with the persian vassals? because i cant seem to find these vassals anywhere so a link or something would be appreciated!
Hello Maganball. Sorry for the late response. I had commissioned a map of Persian Vassal states in 1914 from Kailanmapper (Kailan the Cartographer on UA-cam). You can view it here: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/790956331954864189/970396749439070278/mapoftheqajars1914.png
I found info on the Maku Khanate, Maragheh Khanate, Arabistan, gulf nations, Baluchistan in a book and the Namin Khanate in a brief mention on a Wikipedia but nothing else how did you find the rest of the vassals I cannot seem to find them?

Great job, i noticed the Darfur, the Senussi around the edges - they are often ignored. Various revolts done very well. But a question: I have read that the Nejd Saudi princes allied with British early, since (Independence minded) Nejd and Jabal Shammar (Ottoman vassal) were at war? But you show nothing of this, and you do good research, so was I misinformed? Why was Jabal Shammar not shown red in the Ottoman camp? Why did you keep the center of Arabia beige and not divided between Blue and Red?
Good question. The Saudi regime was friendly towards Britain, but it did not partake in the war. It did fight against Jabal Shammar, which was itself neutral. I do not think it is accurate to show Jabal Shammar as being an Ottoman vassal during this war. The Saudis did not attack Ottoman Hejaz, nor did Jabal Shammar attack Kuwait, so the conflict between these two is rather divorced from World War I. I *did* show conflict between the Saudis and Jabal Shammar although i kept them both beige. The border between these 2 factions *does* change throughout the video.
@@Koopinator Arabia was a mess anyways when it came to political situation, different nomadic tribes and sand lol Tho yea I'm also in the favour of showing Ha'il and Nejd as red and blue respectively. The Rashidis sent tribesmen to aid Ottomans crush the Arab Revolt in Hejaz, and killed a British advisor to the Saudis during Battle of Jarrab. Jabal Shammar fielded some 9,000 soldiers but one source said 20,000 (I read this on English and Russian Wikipedia). I wish these events were also properly documented by war historians just like they did on the western front 🪖
This is amazing!!!! What are the two small areas that remanded neutral in modern day Yemen? I can't see the writing. One is right below Kathiri and the other is a tiny dot near the border of British and ottoman control.
I ask myself: what if the Senussi won the Action of Agagia and the Ottomans had made a joint offensive that would have caused the collapse of British Egypt, what would have happened and which way would the war have taken?
I can no longer tolerate UA-cam's business model, not to mention how frequently it keeps me awake past my bedtime. Is there anywhere else could follow your work?
Finally, a video non-biased about the events of the middle east. So many civillian lives are lost because of terrible governments and the horrors of war. Great job!
