@Daniel Byrne well... Not the Sykes picot agreement by itself The reason most post-colonial nations in Africa and the middle east are so poor is because of their colonisers Before imperialism was really a thing in Europe places like India housed thriving civilisations. Like, if you look at other videos done by extra history (especially about ibn battuta? I think that was the name) the Islamic world was one of the wealthiest and most advanced places There's documentaries by Vice (before they became a channel for libtards and back when they did crazy shit like going into North Korea) about Islamic terrorists. I can even give you a link if you want. In that documentary the radical islamic supporters talk about the Sykes picot agreement as their main cause for hating the west (apart from all the infidel stuff lol) And in that regard I partly agree with them. If Europeans didn't colonialise most of the known world, the places that are poor today would be somewhat closer in wealth to Europe if not surpassing it
This is what western empires did and still do (actually only truly one left and a crippled one). I wished my nation had not been rushing so dutifully and fly by night to save sorry French arses from the teutons.

"In a manner both incredibly self-serving and unbelievably haphazard--like monkeys at a salad bar." --P.J. O'Rourke, describing the map re-drawing after WW1.
My great grandfather was sent to fight in the Middle East during the Great War and he miraculously survived (conditions were terrible) he would remark later in life about he struggled to understand why he was even there!
Don't forget their was a third party on the Sykes-Picquot agreement: Russia. Through Sazonov Russia would ask the easternmost part of Anatolia around Trebiznd and Erzurum. They also asked for Tsargrad, a little city you might know as Constantinople
Great thanks to Extra History for this series. The aftermath of world war 1 in the Middle East is the key to understand the horrors that people in that region, particularly in Syria, had to endure for the last 100 years. The fist of which is that Faisal was not any better than his brothers. In 1920, Faisal fled Syria, his kingdom, upon receiving the Gouraud Ultimatum, leaving Syrians on their own against the French for 26 years. Before the Syrians could finally claim independence on the 17th of April 1946.
Extra credits, I just wanna thank you, you guys have inspired my love of history. I am still in high school but I wanna become a history teacher, and you inspired me to do it. Keep making these great informational videos
Matthew Marino I haven’t watched many of his videos but this is clearly Turkish propaganda. He didn’t mention how murderous and oppressive the Turks were to the Arabs, Greek, Armenians..... he is making seem like the Arabs shouldn’t revolted.
thought id mention this cause i feel its a bit important , sharif is prounounced "shu-reef" like the shu from shun, not sheriff which is what it sounded like in this and the previous video. This might cause confusion and i felt it would be best to clear up. the sharif is a political and religious title given to the custodians of the holy city of mecca, their roles include overseeing the yearly haj including many other things on the political end aswell
Thanks for the explanation @Sledge worth. When watching the video I thought he had gained some honorific title with the police, besides his religious title.

@@walidhousni3186 It turned out they could have beaten the Ottomans that fast: The initial attempt to simply force the straits with a naval force was abandoned due to fear of mines. In actuality, the minesweepers had gotten almost all of them and the shore batteries were almost out of ammunition. There is evidence that the Ottoman government was planning on surrendering should the British battleships reach Constantinople.
Even before I watch the video I want to say to extra credits thank you so much! despite the quarantine you still upload videos. You deserve a like! even before I start watching!
You do realise that British and French aren't the only nations in Europe right? I mean you guys in the states have in some point to learn how to read maps! Ps on the European continent we have 30 DIFFERENT NATIONS some of them they never been imperialist or colonialist throughout their freaking history
That may be the most B.S. saying in history. Any knowledge of political or military history is replete with examples of its failure. More often than not, the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy; all that changes is priorities.
Britain and France: Divide everything regardless of tribal and religious differences like it’s just a cake. Lawrence: *has the biggest BRUH moment and regrets that he played a part in this*
A little correction: There were no Canadian troops in Galipoli. In fact the Newfoundland regiment was not part of the canadian army because Newfoundland was not part of Canada at the time. This would change after the immense toll the first world war had on the territory forcing it into either being an overseas colony (no longer dominion) or a province of canada. Although it is important to say that Newfoundlander commemorative sites are administered by the canadian gouvernement today, these sites do not represent Canadians. They represent Newfoundlanders.
A series about the process of drawing up the various peace treaties would be fantastic. Margaret McMillan's "Paris 1919" would make a great narrative source.
That's the problem with having multiple secret negotiators in your government who don't talk to each other. You end up making promises that are literally impossible to keep.

Pinhead Larry nah, Al-awrence had no idea about the Sykes-Picot agreement, he genuinely wanted us Arabs to have a state, that’s why he fell into depression after the war
@@theArab__ yes he did, he writes in Seven Pillars of Wisdom how ashamed he was to lie to his Arab soldiers constantly. The movie portrays him as unaware of the British machinations but that was not the case in reality. Lawrence later sort of atoned when he campaigned for Faisal's kingship.
Oxtocoatl according to The Great War channel, Lawrence learned of the Sykes-Picot agreement months after the revolt had started. He was furious with his government for betraying the Arabs and deeply depressed for having lied to his troops. I have to feel sorry for the poor bastard, being caught between his conscience and his duty....
Master Marcus Actually, Wahabism started in the 18th century after a Scholar named Mohammed ibn Abdulwahab started to criticize what he saw as people straying from True Islam. Ibn Abdulwahab made an alliance with a powerful tribal leader by the name of Abdullah ibn Saud. And thats whan the first Saudi State officially began. The modern country of Saudi Arabia is the Third Saudi state.
Shariff Hussein and his Hashemite clan were not Wahhabi, but later they were kicked out from Arabia by Saudis, who were Wahhabis. Brits did not back up Hashemites and when Saudis won Arabia, Brits made agreement with them instead. Modern day Jordan is ruled by a Hashemite King and their king is far from being wahhabi. If Hashemites remained in Arabia and were not kicked out by Saudi clan, modern day Arabia would have been far more modern and progressive.
As the darkness falls and Arabia calls One man spreads his wings, as the battle begins May the land lay claim on to Lawrence name Seven pillars of wisdom lights the flame
The land my grandfather used to farm, is now on the other side of the southern borders of Syria with Jordan. You wonder why the ME turned it to be so violent?
Technically it was France and Britain together who made it so much worse with those rulers, the USA just tried to fight some of the symptoms of the problems France & UK created (extremist militant groups calling to get rid of the old "colonial borders") but in reality they made things even worse.
"He hated the Young Turks and their efforts to liberalize the government. Secularizing laws, granting more freedom to women and more strictly enforcing anti-slavery laws."- The Arab Ally of the Entente ... Were... Were we the baddies?
NACBEAST that is simply not true, Hussein was rather liberal for the time, especially if compared to the House of Saud. Then again I’m not fond of monarchies and Islamism, we Ba’athists support secularism and religious and gender equality
It's not the whole picture, he actually was relatively secular and he did not hate the young Turks for that reason (mainly), the young turks were the ultra nationalist turks and they were responsible for the Armenian genocide and many atrocities, they also treated local Arabs horribly, my grandma told me stories about how they kidnapped men to fight in the war and killed their wife behind.
AS THE DARKNESS CALLS AND ARABIA FALLS ONE MAN SPREADS HIS WINGS AS THE BATTLE BEGINS MAY THE LAND THEY CLAIM ONTO LAWRENCE'S NAME SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM LIGHTS THE FLAME!!!

He was apparently furious with his government for betraying the Arabs and deeply depressed for having lied to his troops. You have to feel sorry for the poor man, being caught between his conscience and his duty....
@@haitamc5611 he actually was. Just after the Gallipoli he was sent to defend the hardest fronts to hold on. He was in middle east when the armistice declared.
For AP World History, we had to do a Treaty of Versailles with each person/group representing a country/people that fought in WWI. I was the Arab Nations and it was really fun to research all of this. It really makes you hate the Ottoman Empire (and the Western powers). So, this video is about a year late for the research. Damn.

Elijah Mikaelson Suwayda, lol, guess we are pretty far from each other! How are things in Aleppo, are you rebuilding? I hope everything is alright, it was a great city
Churchill is still a controversial figure in Australia, especially because of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign and the heavy ANZAC losses in the campaign
In defense of Churchill, the tactics of the day were controlled by the First Sea Lord who began bombarding early, alerting the Turks and giving them time to prepare, and sent the men in in terrible formation thereby dooming what might have been a far less deadly attack.
There was also apparently Armenian support for a landing in Alexandretta, as there were Armenians there before the Armenian Genocide and the annexation of the area into Kemalist Turkey happened. Also, interestingly enough, the four allies all wanted a large slice of the Ottoman Empire; Russia had claims in what is now northeastern Turkey, and Italy had claims in the southwest. Greece joined eventually, taking most of what remained of Turkey's Mediterranean coast.
Not true about Greece. Italy claimed the entire Mediterranean coast, as a consequence Greece invaded Smyrna to strengthen its position, the Greek invasion was a scandal since it was done without any previous agreement, so Italy got annoyed and gave up on its claims entirely and supported Kemalists against Greece. "If i can't get what i want, nobody gets anything."
I guess Husein's mistake 0 was to assume that his relationship with the British would be more important than Britain's relationship with the French. I don't want to suggest that he was being stupid. Reaching out to the British was clearly the right thing to do and in his interest. But my understanding is that studying foreign cultures is necessisary for this sort of thing to work in the way you want it to. You want to understand THEM more than they understand YOU. And given the sort of place Faisal became king of, I don't think Hussein managed it.

We muslims are in phase one ,but obviously Turkish people has finished phase three. and we look forward to unite with our Muslim brothers and sisters and no islam is not an Arab please don't let me write about it and Arab is not an ethnicity it's a language.
the world is Suffering from western imperialism ( not the people unlike you we understand) most people walk with where the wind pushes them am not like that i hope you understand now.

I think that’s the point. The sword can win battles, but the pen can start and end wars. At least that’s how I understand

Great thanks to Extra History for this series. The aftermath of world war 1 in the Middle East is the key to understand the horrors that people in that region, particularly in Syria, had to endure for the last 100 years.
The fist of which is that Faisal was not any better than his brothers. In 1920, Faisal fled Syria, his kingdom, upon receiving the Gouraud Ultimatum, leaving Syrians on their own against the French for 26 years. Before the Syrians could finally claim independence on the 17th of April 1946.

The way T.E. Lawrence is drawn in this episode is basically 🙂
It's pronounced sha-REEF. That also avoids confusion with sheriff, which is an unrelated term.

thought id mention this cause i feel its a bit important , sharif is prounounced "shu-reef" like the shu from shun, not sheriff which is what it sounded like in this and the previous video. This might cause confusion and i felt it would be best to clear up. the sharif is a political and religious title given to the custodians of the holy city of mecca, their roles include overseeing the yearly haj including many other things on the political end aswell
I'm going to be completely honest: I thought he was saying sheriff. Goddamnit it Matt.

@@walidhousni3186 It turned out they could have beaten the Ottomans that fast: The initial attempt to simply force the straits with a naval force was abandoned due to fear of mines. In actuality, the minesweepers had gotten almost all of them and the shore batteries were almost out of ammunition. There is evidence that the Ottoman government was planning on surrendering should the British battleships reach Constantinople.

I hate that saying. Almost every time that it applies to anything there is a multitude of other reasons why the 2 entities in question are "friends".
That may be the most B.S. saying in history. Any knowledge of political or military history is replete with examples of its failure. More often than not, the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy; all that changes is priorities.
Enemy of your enemy if your friend so long as the common enemy still exists, when that enemy is defeated, the friendship is over.

"The past is never dead. It's not even past." ― William Faulkner
I seriously loved that meme in there so much! I feel like I usually don't get memes in other places then I expect them but this time I did
A little correction:
There were no Canadian troops in Galipoli.
In fact the Newfoundland regiment was not part of the canadian army because Newfoundland was not part of Canada at the time.
This would change after the immense toll the first world war had on the territory forcing it into either being an overseas colony (no longer dominion) or a province of canada.
Although it is important to say that Newfoundlander commemorative sites are administered by the canadian gouvernement today, these sites do not represent Canadians. They represent Newfoundlanders.
A series about the process of drawing up the various peace treaties would be fantastic. Margaret McMillan's "Paris 1919" would make a great narrative source.
That's the problem with having multiple secret negotiators in your government who don't talk to each other. You end up making promises that are literally impossible to keep.

Lawrence was an imperialist
Pinhead Larry nah, Al-awrence had no idea about the Sykes-Picot agreement, he genuinely wanted us Arabs to have a state, that’s why he fell into depression after the war
@@theArab__ yes he did, he writes in Seven Pillars of Wisdom how ashamed he was to lie to his Arab soldiers constantly. The movie portrays him as unaware of the British machinations but that was not the case in reality. Lawrence later sort of atoned when he campaigned for Faisal's kingship.
Oxtocoatl according to The Great War channel, Lawrence learned of the Sykes-Picot agreement months after the revolt had started. He was furious with his government for betraying the Arabs and deeply depressed for having lied to his troops. I have to feel sorry for the poor bastard, being caught between his conscience and his duty....
And so we see the beginnings of Saudi Arabia and the early rise of salafism (literalist) ideology, especially after they meet Wahhab
Master Marcus Actually, Wahabism started in the 18th century after a Scholar named Mohammed ibn Abdulwahab started to criticize what he saw as people straying from True Islam. Ibn Abdulwahab made an alliance with a powerful tribal leader by the name of Abdullah ibn Saud. And thats whan the first Saudi State officially began. The modern country of Saudi Arabia is the Third Saudi state.
yep, and to think if the Entente had just kept their word groups like the Taliban and ISIL(ISIS) would never had existed.
wait it says you posted the comment 23 hrs ago and the vid was posted 10 mins ago from my time now - weird
Actually Saudi Arabia is a long way off, but this did plant the seed for what would eventually become it
Shariff Hussein and his Hashemite clan were not Wahhabi, but later they were kicked out from Arabia by Saudis, who were Wahhabis. Brits did not back up Hashemites and when Saudis won Arabia, Brits made agreement with them instead.
Modern day Jordan is ruled by a Hashemite King and their king is far from being wahhabi. If Hashemites remained in Arabia and were not kicked out by Saudi clan, modern day Arabia would have been far more modern and progressive.
T.E. Lawrence is a very interesting character, plus he has a great movie with Peter O'Toole.
Great content. I love the videos. Keep up the great work 👍

Then again I’m not fond of monarchies and Islamism, we Ba’athists support secularism and religious and gender equality
It's not the whole picture, he actually was relatively secular and he did not hate the young Turks for that reason (mainly), the young turks were the ultra nationalist turks and they were responsible for the Armenian genocide and many atrocities, they also treated local Arabs horribly, my grandma told me stories about how they kidnapped men to fight in the war and killed their wife behind.

Tbf, I would give Ataturk all the credit for the Ottoman success at Gallipoli. The best plan for the British would to be attack through Egypt.
I was waiting for Ataturk to come up, the guy was a legend!
Ataturk was just one of the many ottoman commanders at Gallipolli, he would not become completely famous till the turkish war of independence.
@@haitamc5611 he actually was. Just after the Gallipoli he was sent to defend the hardest fronts to hold on. He was in middle east when the armistice declared.
Tbf, I would give British hubris most of the credit for the Ottoman victory. They should have realized they were fighting a modern army.
For AP World History, we had to do a Treaty of Versailles with each person/group representing a country/people that fought in WWI. I was the Arab Nations and it was really fun to research all of this. It really makes you hate the Ottoman Empire (and the Western powers). So, this video is about a year late for the research. Damn.

Churchill is still a controversial figure in Australia, especially because of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign and the heavy ANZAC losses in the campaign
In defense of Churchill, the tactics of the day were controlled by the First Sea Lord who began bombarding early, alerting the Turks and giving them time to prepare, and sent the men in in terrible formation thereby dooming what might have been a far less deadly attack.
There was also apparently Armenian support for a landing in Alexandretta, as there were Armenians there before the Armenian Genocide and the annexation of the area into Kemalist Turkey happened.
Also, interestingly enough, the four allies all wanted a large slice of the Ottoman Empire; Russia had claims in what is now northeastern Turkey, and Italy had claims in the southwest. Greece joined eventually, taking most of what remained of Turkey's Mediterranean coast.
They should have just taken the whole thing
Not true about Greece. Italy claimed the entire Mediterranean coast, as a consequence Greece invaded Smyrna to strengthen its position, the Greek invasion was a scandal since it was done without any previous agreement, so Italy got annoyed and gave up on its claims entirely and supported Kemalists against Greece. "If i can't get what i want, nobody gets anything."

I guess Husein's mistake 0 was to assume that his relationship with the British would be more important than Britain's relationship with the French.
I don't want to suggest that he was being stupid. Reaching out to the British was clearly the right thing to do and in his interest. But my understanding is that studying foreign cultures is necessisary for this sort of thing to work in the way you want it to. You want to understand THEM more than they understand YOU. And given the sort of place Faisal became king of, I don't think Hussein managed it.
Very well said. 👏👏👏
