9:07 am
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 them. 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.
9:08 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 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 was shaped the middle east for the next 100 years. in the 2nd week of november 1914 the ultimate empire officially announced it was
9:09 am
joining in germany and its allies. as 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 hands. the grand moved his 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.
9:10 am
and france conscripted over one 170000 men from algeria and a further 80000 from 2 lizzie. the french invasion of iraq 0 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 management thought of it all then as the thousands of moroccans and send them to the front from thoughts like this in a mate that i would say was built by generally with the. 45000
9:11 am
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. the same kind it's a hoot and then a man with a very intense fear of the monument you know god ok i'll tell you that if i'll see a world of positive also you don't know how do i get is not shown here and money being in tears of our best. fast that's how it will be in egypt itself and the media will be take any 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 shock. if you harbor. a willing national and if you do
9:12 am
not disagree with paula deen you should how well now you materialism it's torsion in facilis to fit me all the way in these parts are for inducements if i don't see in the chicken dinner to be allowed to have your mouth well my idea being to start she said i went 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 notice what are my own so who know who the heavy and how to. i don't see those are living at 100 or another. how.
9:13 am
many. of them and. how we are how. i'm going to play my bad but the branches are. not and if you will ride method. they. were the long. neck about the modoc. the money you know the frank. the theory here the homework. i would most but the. u.k. . not all historians share salif few most agree there were differences in the way
9:14 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 it. fairly to do that pretty statistic could. be do something with your idea of a young that could be could kill them off they think the people. all truly. know all there is often less in the field all secure only a city or you go to the edge and you're raised it to my let's call it till i get it for free at least people and this man this man this may not be intrigued enough to look for the mini i'll assume he'll fall off or look at jules to cut through. the slit for doing so not that you'd be elated with me already that's what the
9:15 am
overall reports 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 none of what can you could lead the buttons on what. can land them to. where they can you some of the but raid but. such as and ok no day event. suffered
9:16 am
a will. accept me that. he was not asked me if he was of had an ad about wedding and that when i know one i. like a family way way way beyond what he asked in a happy man. share i cannot. it has one of. the den i'd only seen one. 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
9:17 am
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 near the battlefield of the park on the 15th of december 1914. the word the last short of a coward strapped without a chest 20 algerian and 2 lizzie in soldiers from the 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
9:18 am
. in the song. the. she. did this year. of won't do it on off on diesel. they make it safe but listen. to she despite. the. young oh no to the teacher you have to yeah it was edited to get you. may. say that they are who. lives that you speak of sit them occasionally but piece you really. big of a solution. is say they are pulling. a kiddie we reserve it is all you saw today because it opens up i thought she did
9:19 am
this us only on a little time so more republican party stuff you say that your city could mean a song doesn't leap it costs more as in more you still use fuel on the list i got those are 2 separate yet but that if a to be a good scene was a lead only those who sold this is actually the. lottery jim would cowards like him say son make a new cast on old 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 back then if. as a footnote to many cites 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 in the western front including north african
9:20 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.
9:21 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 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.
9:22 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 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.
9:23 am
this deeply offended there are old sensibilities. 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 mark say. that if he had been the one 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 another authority bennett to come about a moral neck i think our team. the one either should all us all well yes but i've been with him at that who had that up with you i looked him a bad an innocent ahead of mostly mean
9:24 am
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. a little you really do not only know what do you know how to do no. but that by. even. so your. mentor had. seen. you know.
9:25 am
9:26 am
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 mostly 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 killed 80 plus englishman. and the reprisals are very harsh and they're arrested rounded up you know and that
9:27 am
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 so where there are mutinies they're really put down. harshly but it's not only the muslims because what's happening in india is you also have indian 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. more descendants of north african war veterans and here's their personal stories. with. troops contributed to one of the allies most serious defeats of the war at.

be hot in there and are are coming 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. he also means or. 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 $913.00 and to an autumn an army officer mustafa kemal 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
9:43 am
a bitter 7 months of fighting not just with his own troops but we now know where 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 stalked. into their hearts. it was here. coming through here the stuff of. lading of the 1st of the autumn
9:44 am
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 said the enemy when they were only a few 100 meters wide then he 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 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 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
9:45 am
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 than 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 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 1000 follow me was largely our own up to 2 thirds of the men fighting for him in the litany 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
9:46 am
area and his personal division 3 regiments was only one turkish regiment the other 72nd 77 arab regions. there's another take rich ball 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 the staff at mo needed and relied on those ever troops there might have been written out of some of the history in later years as part of the battling with the turkish republic grew from the ashes of the autumn in part and yet those arab soldiers fought stood here i fought and i died. this is the hill from where most of my. commanded his troops his autumn and troops which included the many arab soldiers and led them to victory against the most powerful

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 sosa 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
9:49 am
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 other is 1st sent to the half-moon camp which was opened in the beginning of 1915 and this camp was meant for north 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 don 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 german hierarchy took a strong interest. it was a key part of their campaign to turn muslim troops against their european masters
9:50 am
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'd conscripted them it's been combed this jihad experiment it was built in the beginning of the 1st world war i think in the end of 914 early 1959 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 berlin here at a friday and specially and you're on lockdown later they built their own mosque in
9:51 am
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 on a 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
