4:08 am
a muslim was forced to fight against muslims. and of the fight a wall arabs played i can live. in episode 2 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 vault. and in episode 3 how the 1st world war ended 4 centuries of alterman rule. but drew the lines in the sand that was shaped the middle east for the next 100 years. in the 2nd week of november 1914 the ultimate empire officially announced it was joining germany and its allies in the wall. the grand mufti in istanbul also called
4:09 am
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 as. the grand most is call and autumn an entry into the war said 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 their respective empires britain recruited over a 1000000 troops in egypt in different roles across the 4 years of the war.
4:10 am
and france conscripted over one 170000 men from algeria and a further 80000 from 2 lizzie. the french invasion of morocco in 1911 and installed general the o.t. as colonial government. 2 2 2 at the start of the war he prepared to ship thousands of men to europe from iraq components including konitz from. 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 send them to the front from all it's like this and i made that i would swear that bit by generally healthy .
4:11 am
45000 more often soldiers embarked here and elsewhere one in 4 never came back. went in search of how these heavy losses compared with european casualties. say internet search and then a man with a very intense fear of the monument you know if in a god it was ok and the legalities are all see over the top but there's also you don't know how do i get is not shown here and money being able to our be. fast that's how we'll be in egypt itself and the media will be taking 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 shout out. if you harbor. a willing national health.
4:12 am
duty 7th or dean you should how well now unitarianism it's torsion in facilis to fit me all the way and he spots a fork in it but if i don't see him in the chicken dinner to be allowed to have your mouth well my idea being to start she had to say area. comparing death tolls can be difficult in a war with only partial written records. historian faisel should be things to new zealand who pitched into the front line to protect french troops. passed through notice what are my own so who know who the heavy and how to. i don't see. how. i had. heard.
4:13 am
about them and. i will how. i'm going to play my bad but the branches are. not and if you will ride method then you can. pay. for me at they. can buy them artic. the money they think you know the french. 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
4:14 am
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 on to hand combat that. fairly to do the statistics could. tell you to do something with your idea of a young the critical thing the people more or truly you know to hear. it often less and to feel secure or lady or city or you go to the edge and you raised it to my let's call it bill i get it for free at the steeple of this man this man this may not actually love to look at him yes soon he'll fall off or look at julius too but to be only richard a good year to start doing. that you'll be elated with me already that's what the
4:15 am
overall ripples could be said yes they've. done it for she. say to do it for. sometimes or room rather than written history can shed light on this question. the father of trinity and writers 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. can land them to. where they can you could use some of the but raid but. such as and ok no. if he were to and he would use a remote suffered a will. accept that. and he was asked me if he was of heaven at
4:16 am
the end combat wedding and that when i know when i. like a family member way way way beyond what he asked in a happy man. share i cannot. 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
4:17 am
a whole unit rather than individuals. investigated an incident here in the belgian village of zilla back near the battlefield of people on the 15th of december 1914. the word the last shot or a coward strapped without a chest 20 algerian and 2 lizzie and sold us 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.
4:18 am
is because this. song was. the. she. did this you know. of won't do it on off on diesel pumps i don't know what honey. they make it say but recently on a talk to sheet despite. the. young oh no to the new year it was edited to get i. may. say that they are who. lives that you see can set them occasionally but p.c. movie. television yarloop c'mon oligarchy of a comedy is say they are pulling. a kiddie we will get is all you saw today because it opens up i thought she did this you measure only on
4:19 am
a little time so much republican party stuff you see that your city could not doesn't only print costs more as and more you still use he'll. get those are 2 separate the yes but that if a to be on the scene was a lead only don't sue so this is actually the. dimwit cowards like him say son medtronic up to a little girl guys if he comes out i mean it's all you need to come some measure see ya know you can see clearly is all it did for me. as a footnote many sides of the decimation of a french division from 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
4:20 am
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.
4:21 am
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 1912 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.
4:22 am
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 wall 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.
4:23 am
this deeply offended they are owed since abilities. i want this apprehension quickly turned to insubordination. here at the gymnasium board of bizarre that 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 mark say. that a team in the world better but them but are them a. rude thought you know that it over there it is a bit of it it might add to their ticket. they're not on that and i'm the head that has a guinea where the shore behavior and how to cut it off good if you don't see it then you have a short or a genie way and not enough to really benefit the come about them or no neck i think our team are scary allayed at the what either should or should all what is matter could have been with. that up with a you are lucky i'm a bad be an innocent i heard of mostly nina left and whether my lad but i think if
4:24 am
you're at the i love of money i know that when he did maybe a bit about what could have to be hired and money at my neck and orlando martin must be me. i love you and you do not only know what do you know how to do no. but that by. even. so you're saying. men had. seen. it if you don't see.
4:25 am
them look at. this. neat. didn't. happen i did manage. to hit. the german and ultimately come to unsettle muslims around the issue of fighting muslims clearly calls on rest in the arab world but it's
4:26 am
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 peaceably 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 in 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 must
4:27 am
a 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. and how our of troops contributed to one of the allies most serious defeats of the war at the literally.

4:45 am
enemy when they were only a few 100 meters away i then 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 law in front of them and they stopped advancing as well. then. mustafa kemal as a resist 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 a while buying time with the lives of these soldiers would give time for the rest of the forces to come up here and so you can tie in the invasion so 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 ammunition the ammunition did come up but they formed here they fought the battle slide backwards and forwards as one
4:46 am
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 most destroys new zealanders their bodies were found here 4 years later but in the time that the bottom and soldiers fought and died here the reserves came up the door was bolted. soldiers diaries no tell us that come all is 19th was largely our own up to 2 thirds of the men fighting for him in the galletly campaign were from greater syria present day lebanon jordan syria and palestine mustafa kemal commanded on the 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 target rich bozo serving here that joined they joined together to fight him in the vastly superior numbers of allied trades

4:49 am
transport of french prisoners of war including north african prisoners of war was in 1914 and they were sent to sawsan and other places but they were together the french one and not 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
4:50 am
not exclusively muslims and the other is 1st sent to the half-moon camp which was opened in the beginning of 1915 and this camp was meant for not african prisoners or for but also for indian prisoners of war and they also had a small group of korean and vietnamese prisoners at the half moon camp. the 1st mosque to be wrecked to them john in the song was erected here at the half moon p.o.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 to jihad in november 1914. 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
