man. world war one. above. the warriors of the 2 conflicts. known as the great. war the war to end all wars and. it's grim trench warfare. and play. with the main theatre of war and but this was a war fault on many fronts. so

there's another story mayor lee told. huge importance june in the war and of lusting significance. a story of troops who folds and died but who are often forgotten and. if i'm given and come that shapes the middle east of today. this is world war one it's from out of the audience.

malick to leakey the train is even writer and broadcaster takes us on a personal journey. his grandfather's generation falls in the war now molly goes in search of what happened to these men. who they were. and why their stories often died with. in this episode he tells the story of how thousands of arabs were conscripted by the british and french in north africa. their treatment and mistreatment. a muslim was forced to fight against muslims. and of the fight for wall arabs

played i can live. in episode 2 of the ottoman side of the story the young turks wise to power. their alliance with germany. their terror and in the love i want and the seeds of our own will fold up. and in episode 3 how the 1st world war ended 4 centuries of alterman rule. but drew the lines in the sand that will shape the middle east for the next 100 years. in the 2nd week of november 1914 the ultimate empire officially announced it was joining in germany and its allies. in the war the grand mufti in istanbul also called on muslims around the world to join a jihad a struggle against britain russia and france.

so arabs were forced to fight on both sides for the triple on told european powers . and for the central powers germany austria-hungary and the ultimate. the grand moved his call and autumn an entry into the war set muslims against each other and created a complex tension that ran throughout the war. to compete with the enemy the british and french needed to draft in large numbers of troops from across of their respective empires britain recruited over a 1000000 troops in egypt in different roles across the 4 years of the war. and france conscripted over one 170000 men from algeria and

a further 80000 from 2 izzie. the french invasion of iraq 0 in 1911 and installed general the o.t. as colonial government. 2 2 at the start of the war he prepared to ship thousands of men to europe from iraq and points including konitz where. the french occupation was hardly 2 years old when the war started but the french manager thought of it all then as the thousands of moroccans and sent them to the front from thoughts like this and i made that i would swear that belief by generally all 3. 45000 more often soldiers embarked here and elsewhere one in 4

never came back. went in search and found these heavy losses compared with european casualties. i say in kind it's a hoot and then a man with a very intense fear of the madiba you know god ok and there you have officers i'll see a world of positive also you don't know how do i get is not shown here and money being able to our best. fast that's how it will be in egypt itself and the media will be take the kind of tells us that the fist of and what of the alpha is that they've been very in concert with the band and if. anything a shadow. if you harbor. a willing marshal and if you do not disagree with paula deen you know how when one materialism it's torsion in

facilis to fit me all the way in these parts are for nice but if i don't see in the chicken dinner to be allowed to have your mouth well muddy being who starship into the area. comparing death tolls can be difficult in a war with only partial written records. historian feisal should be things to museums were pitched into the front line to protect french troops. to know this what are my own so who know who the heavy and how to. i don't see those are living at 100 are now that i'm about to get a bit. ahead. of them and. i will how. i'm going to play my bad but.

not if you will ride a method. where the long. neck about the modoc. the money the key to the brain. the theory here the homework. i would most but the. u.k. . not all historians share surely few most agree there were differences in the way colonial troops were treated compared with you opinions but facts about the war can be hard to pin down. french historian many believes figures

vary from trench warfare to hand combat it. fairly to do that statistic could. be do something to your idea of a young that could be killed kill them off they think the people. all truly. here. is forcing us in to feel secure or living city or you go to the edge and you're raised it to my let's call it for she at least people of this man this man this may not be intrigued enough to look for the moon alice who either cannot or look at jules to cut through. the year to start doing. that you'll be elated with me already that's one of the overall ripples could be said yes so. the only coffee. satan would force.

sometimes all wrong rather than written history can shed light on this question. the father of trinity and writers assume it was conscripted into the french army he'll have shown no doubt whatsoever as to how he was treated by some french officers. most who did all the but what can you could lead the buttons on what. you can want them to. be when they can you could do some of the but raid but. such as and ok no day event. if he were to and he would use a remote suffered a will with. me that. he was not asked me if he was ahead in at the end combat wedding and that we don't know in any way or like

a family member way way way beyond what he asked and a happy man. shared a kind. it has one of. the den. as soon as father spoke of discrimination and this is part of a bigger question of army discipline in the. desire to face execution. but the french are accused of something more sinister the ancient roman army practice of decimation the killing of every 10th member of a unit for failures of discipline. france is reported to have used it against its north african troops. as in roman times decimation was used against a whole unit rather than individuals. investigated an incident

here in the belgian village of zilla back you know the battlefield of people on the 15th of december 1914. the word the last short of a coward strapped without a chest 20 algerian and 2 lizzie and soldiers from the safe kompany of the 10th battalion of the it is you monique's duty or your as your young were ordered to march towards the german lines their comrades ordered to shoot them if the enemy did it. it's not clear how widespread decimation was for gilbert many this is partly because of a lack of written records. that. is because this. song.

the. she. of won't do it on off on decent of. what. they make it say but recently on a talk to sheet despite. the. young oh no to the new year it was indeed. may. day or who. lives that you speak of sit them occasionally but p.c. movie. solution. is say they are pulling. a kiddie we reserve it is all you saw today because it opens up. at all says d.d. the this you measure only on a little time so more republican party stuff you say that your city could not

doesn't only print costs more as in more you still use fuel i mean us all get those are 2 separate yes but that if a to be a good scene was a read only those who sold this is actually the. dimwit cowards like him say son medtronic up to a little girl. as if he themself i mean it's all you need to come some measure see ya know you can see clearly is all it did for me back then if. as a footnote to many sites the decimation of a french division for mutiny in 1917 as evidence that it continued during the war. world war one saw a new deadly threat to the allies on the western front including north african troops. in the belgian province of west flanders was the scene of 5 major battles

in 4 years in the 2nd in april and may 915 the germans used chlorine. yes against their own powers for the 1st time. algerians and moroccans fought alongside british french and canadians gas from over $5000.00 canisters blew towards them $6000.00 men died and many others were blinded the 2nd battle of april heralded a new era of industrial scale warfare the 1st attack involved the 44th algerian division and the 87th french territorial division those were 2 units 1st exposed but of course they fled to other parts of the front subsequent gas attacks and there were a number in april afflicted canadian forces british forces as well as french. so several of the allied formations were exposed to gas fairly early on.

armies have always used technology to develop new methods of warfare but world war one saw a step change in the level of collaboration between scientists and the military. when the kaiser vilhelm institute for physical chemistry opened in berlin the suburb of dahlan and october 19th 12 its 1st director was fritz cobbler. it scientists have since $133.00 nobel prizes but harbor is infamous for having invented chemical warfare because of his development of poisonous gas in the. harbor himself won a nobel prize for chemistry in 1918 for his synthesizing of ammonium much food production depends today on harbors methods for producing fertilizer but the impact

of the chemical weaponry developed from harbors chlorine gas. as being devastating . were 1st conscripted into the french army in 1911. they found themselves fighting as part of a french occupying force in morocco and march 19th 12. then they were called on to fight fellow muslims on a far greater scale. when the ottomans joined the war in lieu of ember $914.00 it dawned on the chin is even conscripts they might now be ordered to fight turks syrians iraqis lebanese and palestinians. this deeply offended there are absence abilities. and not this apprehension quickly turned to insubordination. here at the gymnasium board

of visit there was a rebellion in november 1914 by troops being sent by the french to europe the chin is eons refused to board boats bound for mach say. that a team in the world better but the but are the. rude thought it had better over there it is a bit of it it might have do with a ticket as a. democrat and i'm the head that has a guinea where the shore all behavior and how to cut it off got it you don't see it then he have a short or a genie way and not enough to really benefit the come about them or no neck i think our team. the one either should all us all what is matter could have been with him but that who had there that up with you are lucky my bad and innocent i had a mostly mean a weatherman i but i link it here at the i love of money i know that when he did media but that look at it it had to be hired and money and monica and orlando martin must be me. alleluia you do not only know what do you know how to do no.

but that by. even. so your. mother had. seen. this.

neat. and i did manage. to sit with. the german and ultimately. muslims around the issue. which clearly caused on rest in the arab world but it's a fact also felt in. india. in january

915 and indian regiments in singapore rebelled because they thought the british were sending them to fight the old. you have a number of reports of of muslim indian muslim soldiers being quite unhappy about being sent to fight the holy fire really you know being sent to fight the ottoman empire there's one instance of an entire battalion refusing to board the ship to go but basically basically the most dramatic thing in what must have been terrifying to the english and very frightening is that in singapore the 5th light infantry which is composed of muslims actually stop opened fire on the english officers and soldiers and something like 80 plus they kill 80 plus englishman and the reprisals are very harsh and they're arrested rounded up you know and that musta really scared the english officers in command because the idea that you know when you have hundreds of thousands of indian soldiers if that kind of thing ticks

off it's going to be a big problem so where there are mutinies they really put down. harshly but it's not only the muslims because what's happening in india is you also have india nationalists of all religions who want the british to go. coming up opposition to conscription and french colonial occupation fuels more of the rest engine is a. man like me it's more descendants of north african war veterans and here is their personal stories of. how our of troops contributed to one of the allies most serious defeats of the war at the litani. then the stuff come out as a result of coming up to shoot his order i do not order you to fight for you to die .

capturing a moment in time. snapshots of all the lives. of the stories that one people are privy to top and there is no check against this and provided a glimpse into someone else's world through up to pursue me in the dream or off your life inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers. witness on al-jazeera i was a hands on working in asia and africa there'd be days where i'd be choosing editing my own stories in a refugee camp with no electricity and right now we're confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanity has ever faced and i really believe that the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and come from miles because of the only way we can try to solve any of these problems is together that's why

al-jazeera so important we make those connections. once welcome now fear. and dividing a nation. al-jazeera explores germany's long term economic strategy of pursuing immigrants from the arab world which you know i feel more john among the syrian. i watch money those are richer get those people who don't think it's been bought one german and i'm rocking the new germans on al-jazeera. breaks everybody on this planet matters everybody has power when people need to be heard and the story needs to be told here human development has moved right to the edge of the forest with exclusive interviews and in-depth reports nobody's a disease can affect anyone any a huge challenges iraq has teams on the ground this is the main business nobody's money any person here to bring you move when you documentaries and life needs.

you're in her. world. hello i'm in london a quick look at the top stories now the better russian electoral commission is saying the results so far suggest the president has won the country's election on xander because shango has over 81 percent of the vote so far but polling has been extended at some stations because of long queues the main opposition candidates that are on a ticket of sky who drew large crowds to rallies across the country was only 8 percent of the shango has been in power for a quarter of a century and has been referred to as europe's last dictator. protesters have been out on the streets of beirut for a 2nd night now 5 days after the massive explosion that killed $158.00 people

demonstrators demanding political change held rocks and police responded with tear gas to government ministers have resigned as anger in the country grows against corruption and an engineering political elite they joined 9 other m.p.'s have already quit meanwhile an international donors conference hosted by the french president is raise 290 $7000000.00 for the lebanese people these are the security forces just on the other side of the is lebanon's parliament for the last couple of days the protesters have tried to sort of breach through security boundaries and get towards the palm and security forces of having none of it and with a heavy yesterday they cracked down on those protesters and i've seen some ambulances leaving today it's quiet now but it cleared martyr square which is in front of me they clear the potman area now and they have essentially wrapped up for the evening. the number of corona virus infections in the united states has passed

something. no muslim wanted to fight against fellow muslims. and in the french colonies opposition to conscription and imperial occupation group . there were 2 uprisings in 191516 you know the southeastern chin is in town of calm peace on the libyan border . dissidents fighting the french joined other rebels under. himself resisting the libyans. to battles to a place in which hundreds of french soldiers were killed. by the rebels who fought the. friends like muhammad and ozzie wrote themselves into chinnis uniform he survived to fight the french many more times but was finally

hanged by them in 1924. but despite regional resistance and rebellion the majority of north africans conscripted into the french army ultimately had no choice but to follow orders and fight. one such man was mohamed when they spoke. he had 2 daughters and money. to loose later married a man called last. who went on to fight for french occupation and the jews in palestine. their father mohammad however was decorated with the medai military and the french military cross. randoms what. was the matter now this. is very best. as

a matter of see if it's merely a little miracle and i had a little less wish we had the same she. she is that had her book. good not good or we had a ballad that night had a bleed that i will bleed or wildness and i who is on but it worked i. had the piano and i don't have to hear it has a good or bad who're amel has a baby too in a silly or it was down more as it looked as i say it now that i wanted to see it all who are. land. market work from our man to get me that what i mean i'll let ya live while i believe to our. already at the front of you to accept us we have you know whether there are more. and it will harm you know somebody you know to have any command. of them or have to go see.

the father of 2 losing writers i'll assume it was conscripted into the french army in 1960. save valuable wartime papers including some belonging to his father's friend months it all began. with mean a. lot of laughter and they not only offer an insight into man source time as a prisoner of war but also of visits paid to him but the leaders of the nationalist youth movement the young chinese ians pioneers in the struggle for independence and they. it's moved on through been what. could be a month or a day and that with the senate sort of where betty has a pass in a way it wasn't a way to do and now met well. what can

the western front. of the little one would do well on the move with world. war. then and the thought of going started on him was almost all over the lot on almost over and i was up with up later most were for the fee for that she was me having been an emotion of another for. i want to feel love in mockery upon local in her ability to be mocked with and and know if you are my new motor the harm comes of studies one for the. one who are sure to come out again no i'm not about us i'm from personal kind of on for a song moment i'm a little fantasy on if it's ever was a point of view good the good of an uneven well steve it was either you or you if you could see your love for. those i i'm still sober and also there's only one i'm some sort of i mean v b n b b yeah i know that it's going to sort of the francais a moment with them and even. couldn't of course not be taken as whole i let out

a few available when it could happen or on the matter we are on our start of our own have been it is easy ability lizza for the end of the minute and then go hard to vet rather than think of it but that it will. be hot in there are you going to come to me. but the western front was not the only theatre of war. with stalemate in europe and april 915 britain's navy chief winston churchill hatched a plot against germany's ottoman. he wanted to take istanbul and open a sea route to russia. the autumn is up. ared weakened by a series of defeats the russians are nicholas the 1st had even called them the sick man of europe they failed to prevent an italian landing in libya in 1911 and lost most of their territories in the balkans by 913 and her own autumn an army officer

. he would later go on to be the 1st president of turkey but in 1915 he achieved the kind of victory one minister unwatched pasha had failed to deliver in libya or the balkans and he did it here in a bitter 7 months of fighting not just with his own troops but we now know when the vital support of 300000 hours. the battle was going lepani. when ships landed allied troops here on the 25th of april 1915 only a small unit of ottoman soldiers protected the coast with rapidly diminishing ammunition. most of our

hope they might hold out until reinforcements arrived. and gave his now famous order which must have struck town into their hearts. it was here. coming through here the stuff of. lading of the 1st of the autumn reserves into the battle i'm across the turkish soldiers the survivors the outpost battle of the ages retreating up this why and he told them 1st stop i said the enemy they were they were only a few 100 metres wide then they told them to. have us we'll have no ammunition and then he told them to fix it by a nets and lie down and in fact this tried and stopped i thought of them as a strong turkish lot in front of them and they stopped advancing as well. well then . mustafa kemal as a resistor coming up issued his order that i do not order you to fight i order you

to die. he gave his order citing that other reserves would come up that i while buying time with the lives of these soldiers would give time for the rest of the forces to come up here and say you can tie in the invasion. most of the man he was with they did die but they did fight as well so he literally meant that because they had no ammunition there was no i mean if the ammunition did come up but they formed here they fought the battle slide backwards and forwards as one side then the other got more men and but the casualties here were horrendous and at 1st i very few men who came into this fight come out of it a lot mostly streisand zealander's their bodies were found here 4 years later but in the time that those autumn and soldiers fought and died here the reserves came up the door was bolted. soldiers diaries no tell us that come all

1000 follow me was largely. up to 2 thirds of the men fighting for him in the level of campaign or from greater syria present day lebanon jordan syria and palestine mustafa kemal commanded my 1st day. 25th of april all of the troops in this area and his personal division 3 regiments was only one turkish regiment the other 72nd 77 arab regions. there's another take rich bozo serving here that joined they joined together to fight him in the vastly superior numbers of allied trades and killed 2 reinforcements arrive but yes it was tough at mo needed and relied on those troops there might have been written out of some of the history in later years as part of the battling with the turkish republic and grew from the ashes of the autumn empire and yet those arab soldiers fought stood here i fought and i died

. but. this is the hill from where most of our command. commanded his troops his autumn and troops which included the many arab soldiers and led them to victory against the most powerful forces of the age the british and french empires this victory started the rise to fame of most africa my 1st as military hero van as a national leader for modern turkey generations of arab school children learn to the poem by how much oakley in which he likens must of a camel to be in the way lead the famous muslim military leader and companion of the prophet muhammad in this poem he say's a lot. can feel for a time you know i should be highly that sort of. highly the lotto be subtle when

i.z.'s on i learn how to been more of a father to know for a safer field than the one you have off in mosul being. the arab dad of both sons grew buried in cemeteries across europe turkey and the balkans and prisoners of war transported to p.o.w. camps. the germans sometimes separated muslims from other prisoners so they could try and undermine their loyalty to france and britain they put north africans together in. on camera and talk to soldiers who fought for russia and another the 1st transport of french prisoners of war including north african prisoners of war was in autumn 914 and they were sent to sawsan and other places but they were together the french one and the north africans and then there was this idea and a suggestion to separate muslim prisoners from other prisoners and the idea behind

this was to. have better chances for propaganda purposes and that's why there was does such as to be one camp which was exclusively for muslim prisoners or for at the end they separated the prisoners and there was one prisoner for camp insourcing which was quote the vine backlog where they are tyrion a carcass in prison us soldiers who belong to the russian army or so muslims but not exclusively muslims and the others were sent to the half moon camp which was opened in the beginning of 1915 and this camp was meant for north african prisoners so for but also for indian prisoners of war and they also had a small group of korea and vietnamese prisoners at the half moon camp. the 1st mosque to be wrecked today on german soil was erected here at the half moon

p.t.w. come on large ornate wooden structure completed in july 1915. was a showdown in which the kaiser and german hierarchy took a strong interest. it was a key part of their campaign to turn muslim troops against their european masters dating back to the grand mufti is called your client in november 19th 14. they used the comforts of the half-moon p.o.w. camp to move the 324000 muslim inmates and turn them against the allies who conscripted them it's been combed this you hide experiment it was built in the beginning of the 1st world war i think in the end of 914 early 1915 and it was painted from the private purse of williams

a seconds of german kaiser it was also a type of a propaganda action there were about 40500 muslims living in berlin and they used after the wall this mosque. again as their mosque they came from brought in here at a friday and specially and you're on lockdown later they built their own mosque in berlin and then this this building was made. by ward it was not a concrete or something like that a very strong. building and it after i think in the ninety's late 1925th collapsed because there nobody took care of it. the muslim prisoners a tough new certainly enjoyed better facilities than other camps offered. the half-moon project was led by the german lawyer diplomat ancient historian and

archaeologist max von openly. invited prominent ana back a damaged and spiritual leaders to come and visit the prisoners at half moon there were actively t. so they did some sports and there were as it was somehow part of the entertainment they were coming important arab nationalists like the egyptian mohamed 38 or the tunisian sally asked to see who are. made by god and therefore there are ideas of an independent egypt on independent all this and there is also the very famous person of literature and of politics the syrian sharky. who for example tour of germany and came here when he came to cornwall he met the mayor who happened to be these latest chancellor common law. and this was
