world war 1. 4 years of bitter conflict. known as the great war. or the war 2 and all the wars. it's green the strange warfare. with europe the main theater. but this was a war fought on many fronts.

so there's another story rarely told. of huge importance during the war. and of lasting significance. the story of troops fault and dying but who are often forgotten. i'm driven outcome that shaped the middle east of to. this is gold more one through our high.

mileage to rekey the 2 new zealand writer and broadcaster is taking his on a personal journey across a dozen countries. his grandfather's generation force in the war. so far he's explored how thousands of arabs were conscripted by the british and french colonial powers in north africa. and how our robes were forced to fight on both sides for the european allies and the central powers setting muslim against muslim. and the vital role played by arab troops in the ottoman army again literally. in this episode he looks at the roots of why the ultimate is joined the war at home . how the european powers viewed the ultimate empire as right for division and

exploitation. and the suffering when they also mean government of young turks cracked down on the arab provinces. and the little known story of a future zionist leader in the ultimate world. the polish jewish student or walked along here $911.00 his name david been guardian or would become the 1st prime minister of israel. then a little how to go after. lip the key is the must say to him you must accompany him by the door to don't have to look funny at a horrible irony of the way i want to follow a daughter. out of bonaire there out of me as he ought to be and i think one of the taliban has fallen to saudi without her judgment and mike business but they're just

. been so kind of shy. because. i let the kind of that even when i do. have the ability one at the city about how the hell beat out in a cottage when you then take a spotted been obvious as my body how dare. they have that well there you don. how they are how to land at their own happy how are german name a. new mayor the color and it to how do you. a very good question and one with roots deep in autumn in history. before reading 30 the ottoman empire stretched from mesopotamia in the east to the red sea and most of the north african coast. but over the next 80 or so here's the ottomans lost

algeria tunisia egypt and in 1912 libya. then the last territories much closer to home and the balkan wars of 912913. so britain france and russia began plotting how to exploit the potential collapse of salt on our block a means empire for their own individual benefit. not to have made the 2nd will rule the empire from 87629000 or 8 or 9000 or 9 felt that western european powers were playing dirty games. in his mind and the minds of the advisers around him and many ottoman ops are mere appeal powers were supporting nationalist independence movement within the ottoman empire he thought that the great powers were using religion especially christianity to mobilize those

nationalist movement in an effort to undermine the ottoman empire. the sultan's view was not wrong the european powers so on rest in the arab world after nearly 400 years of ultimate rule as an opportunity. but there was a stumbling block provincial arab leaders and intellectuals were thinking about gaining independence from the ultimate. but for ordinary arabs the sultan in istanbul was the kaleb of islam the leader of the muslim world. whichever side you were on there was a close bond with the calle of respect and loyalty for him across the arab world. an incident later in the war illustrated this clearly. the british captured 700 iraqi soldiers in 1917 and sent them to egypt. the british offer to free the prisoners if they would support an arab revolt against the ultimate ends led by

saudi for the saying of mecca but few iraqis accepted most were uneasy at the idea of challenging the kale of. books such as the 1938 work by george antonius the arab revolt exaggerated the support of shoddy preuss ains 1916 report against the ottomans and exaggerated and painted a very negative image up on him in a rule of 400 years of ottoman rule and even many european colonialists tended to denigrate the ottoman past and to the point of referring to it as so despotic and backward that it almost welcomed the arrival of european colonialism. they also manami was also diverse in november 914 up 230-0000 of their troops were arabs from greater syria. of the armies 9 most senior commanders

2 were all bamian 2 from the caucasus and 2 arab. and in politics saeed halim pasha the grand vizier all prime minister was from egypt. the british had to find a way to challenge this holy bond between the kaleb in istanbul and his loyal arab muslim citizens. they approached hussein bin ali the sheriff of mecca he was a descendant of the prophet muhammad leader of the hush my people and ruler of islam's most holy place. the british thought he alone could challenge the kale of an istanbul. but he would not be straightforward. on the eve of world war one most arabs were largely supportive of the ottoman empire. they regarded it as a protector of the an islamic identity in an era of expanding european

colonialism even many arab christians and jews especially after $1008.00 welcomed the liberal reforms and wrote glowingly hand the of these reforms and have these iraqi and rarely ever called for independence for the arab people. tonight you know it was a significant here in this unfolding story that was when the new leaders of the committee of union and progress the young turks staged a coup removing sultan of though from it the 2nd from power. they started out in 1000 eves with a project of trying to hold that empire get there on the basis of question. but at the same time they found themselves in the position of trying to defend it maintain them. against all great retractions and

east new nationalist uprising this fall within. when the young turks reconvened parliament they created optimism in the arab world but this soon turned to disillusionment. over all the may not have intended it that they found themselves fighting to me in n.p.p. treat. from 9. 11 hours from italy's in the nation on once then came the balkan wars and then there came the great. to this change this transformed issue actually. promising and bringing freedom to not peoples in to one of meeting in. defeat in the balkans hard in the young turks and they tighten their grip on their arab possessions the balkan wars of 101213 catastrophe defeat and finally

the action from what had become of all kinds brought about and enormous fun to jump in the development and education of turkish nationalists and also they became more and more dictatorial. the young turks had hoped to stay out of the war and ally themselves with britain and france but neither of these 2 countries would go against russia so they were not an option. besides the autumn ins and germany had a history of friendship. geyserville him the 2nd 1st visited istanbul in 889 to befriend sultan. 9 years later he landed at haifa on a state visit to the ottoman east. they made a ceremonial entry into jerusalem. and

visited the tomb in damascus of salahuddin the famous mediæval muslim oreo who defeated the crusaders. there was mass celebration when he announced the germany would pay for the renovation of his grave. the kaiser also declared his friendship of the world's 300000000 muslims and gained the nickname. vilhelm so germany was a natural ally. but the young turks were also gambling that the european war might be over quickly. at the time there were series and. prospect of voice in europe that in fact the civilized european powers would not fight each other for very long that this was a crisis but

a cry for that might. come to an end funeral rather than later ultimately therefore that they would be able to favor the alliance with germany which they had signed for 7 years not necessarily protection but an alliance with germany that would help the ottoman state to consolidate its. its borders its institutions and to restrain finn and that period under which there would have germany as an ally. however germany needed this deal as much as the ultimate. and. they were outnumbered on the ground in europe and could open a new eastern front against russia and the british. the german general era gluten doff wrote that ultimate entry into the war enabled the central powers to soldier on for another 2 years otherwise the war might well

have been over by 916. this is the house in istanbul of anwar pasha he led the secret negotiations with germany on behalf of the young turk or unionist government. here on the night of the 1st of august 1914 he secured his treaty of alliance. unwarped pasha was a fan of everything german he spoke the language trained in military college there and admire the way chancellor autobahn bismarck had modernized the state. they had enormous admiration for passion is for be spark in is and for the germans on that rick germany had to follow its own special path and it was envisioned as

and it became a path in which the german military the german army played god to the nation and the state it was perceived and it really was true to a large extent that the german nation and the german state were called prof in a very strong sense by pressure and the pressure an army and this is what the spark in his was all about the union ists perceive themselves as pursuing a kind of pressure path in the context of thought to manpower. and it wasn't just the young turks who admired germany some arabs were impressed by its achievements national unity military expansion scientific research and economic development. the lebanese why to this layman that he wrote a poem called the 20th century was. well in my knee feels more as he said to.

me and to me and to sit. down and feed him a few games. 11 feet believe that in the. face to. all who would look this. good food to move north dad. in august 114 and one person's treaty was still a secret. but in the 2nd week of november came the formal ultimate entry into the war. and the grand mufti has called for muslims to join a jihad against the own powers fatah mosque in istanbul. it was a call for a holy war to old listenings including arabs who supported the canaan.

the germans believed that this cold could undermine their enemies war efforts. there were millions of muslims in the british and french colonies where the germans hoped for mass uprisings. they launched a campaign to influence muslims fighting for the allies. it was led by german lawyer diplomat and ancient historian max von. of his obviously very dear to his heart because of his german pictures and so on. and his interest in the middle east but in a very specific way by 899. was it no one had a reputation as an experienced and really very well informed travel are. open haim was an adventurer and archaeologist but was also involved in planning the

route of the ballon to baghdad railway. the german government wanted to build the line to compete with the british to give them access to oil and bring the region under stronger influence. nothing unusual about the fact that siemens who was then the director of the dogshit bank which was largely in charge of the financing of the border into baghdad really should contact him about the extension of the line from a low. to muzzle has fought that particular strange and he asked him if he would do some prospecting and advise them on what was the best route and he wrote about all the advantages that the best and most efficient lying to follow for the railroad and all the advantages that would accrue from following this route rather than that route. after troubleshooting for siemens at deutsche bank he'd made

a historic archaeological discovery in northern syria in 1909. it was in a certain sense by accident that he made the greatest discovery of his career that she discovered tell her laugh. because really what he was trying to do was do this prospecting on his own. on officially for the berlin to bagdad really and she did write he did write a brief to report and devoted many more pages of that from the report to route from aleppo towards who'll than he did. to that he had discovered to tell how tough. open heim returns to excavate tell her life in 1007 and discovered a city built in 6000 b.c. . the bell into baghdad

for the ultimate means and as conscripts for the european allies occupying egypt morocco algeria and chin is here. hundreds of thousands died. egypt was still technically part of the ottoman empire but had been under british occupation since 1082. when the ultimate zen to the war britain declared a protective over egypt. the most populous arab country offered britain 1000000 200000 recruits in different rooms during the war across 3 continents. 500000 all of them died.

ordinary arab people knew this war had little to do with them but were caught up in it. the jordanian capital amman was then in greater syria. malik went in search of what happened there. or should he have a say bath about they here and already look at how to move out of that in a so that album yet a jew or a new or a they're not out of an old war unless you are a land and how to be an ass at the corner while. i'll be there army if you give me $100.00 there are many. in the hall at the end how to cut out on could be. and show me 1st scene was proved right the young to a government appointed as governor of great to syria he acted ruthlessly against anyone suspected of arab nationalist sympathies. his nickname was all.

it are probably not going to while i'm here you're all by the way. as jamal pasha and the ultimates face defeated suez scenes revolt was gaining momentum. the british who promised hussein and his family feud to control over a greater arab state in present day syria lebanon palestine and jordan. and the edge of the sheila you buy a little bit here but. yes about how do you a castle got. would be a smart witty. thing about. it though wouldn't the money out of that well. be about the game. and with a lot of men. to move one would you be

but the war did not just affect arab nationalists thousands of men were conscripted crops and livestock were requisitioned arabs suffered disastrously in egypt iraq and bill of the shah greater syria. you know when we think about world war one we think about the western front in the trenches the british the french and the germans but really the ottoman empire suffered far more than any of the continental powers got 9 percent of the german population died about 11 percent of the french population died but anywhere from between 40 percent and 25 percent of the arctic population guy.

then they'll disappear in mid to them as well didn't get many will tell. but i lowered my general yani as monad can send them a little 3 year old of them than the. 1000000 little guardian when i became the bad one and. now had a lot of well to be done. he said i. know my you mean give me about. the olive job i'll be good to katie about you will be a little out of my head. and that khalil billet is there are a hell of a lot. but. it was ella nothing was not i'm not to. be. an emergency in cuba doing to me.

thought i would make out that that there's a. yanni a lead. is said to be. as have been. there as around all day long but how to. have been a. deal such as i would like a. militia or diane more able. to answer that physical algebra yes. my moon under me is lebanese she's over 100 years old. the war also left its mark on her she still remembers how men used to hide or even dress up as women to avoid conscription. but her most painful memory is of the terrible famine.

that you could. do. you have not yet. but family was not the only holder more inflicted on the arab world. let's start with mesopotamia or iraq with the arrival of 600000 colonial soldiers so these soldiers coming in from for example to other port cities they're all carrying to see uses typhus cholera dysentery something called a wasting fever which was devastating for you to seizures and coma what

a lot of people suffered without ever having gone front was contagious and casualty rate from epidemic is much higher than the casualty rate for being at the front of the front page it played a role especially as refugees fled from the front and mesopotamia and the caucasus in particular they brought with. us and the fleas on life support scary typhus and malaria was also a concern. on the battlefield however i'm to the surprise of the european powers the ultimate has proved a valuable german. they'd attack the british if this is can all. defeated the little league in 1950. the force the so. render of the indian expeditionary force in mesopotamia in 1916.

they contain challis forcings arab revolt along the his as railway line. and they force the british to fight every step of the way in palestine in 1918. but alterman military commanders also committed catastrophic errors. minister for war and government leader unwatched pasha sent tens of thousands of soldiers to fight the russians at sonic amish in eastern anatolia during the winter of 1914 and early 1950. he wanted to regain territory lost to russia in 878. few of his troops had proper weapons or even boots to march him.

as many as 60000 autumn and troops died of whom 2 thirds are likely to have perished from frostbite and typhus rather than fighting the russians. the disaster and sad accommodation is still marked by local people. prayers as said every friday for the 3rd autumn an army. some of the older members of the community like this village elders recall a popular poem from the time it accuses anwar pasha of betraying his own men a betrayal they say that bordered on treason. wishing in your salgado i've said all along dot. gov letter and shuttle disregard the. elop washable maal up not to be gay subject. blame the defeat on

armenians who he claimed had sided with the russians. in april 915 the government rounded up 250 armenian intellectuals and community leaders in istanbul. armenian men were killed and army conscripts put into labor battalions. women children and the elderly were deported and forced onto more marches into the syrian desert. the facts are still hard to agree on but some historians believe that the young turk government the unionists forced up to a 1000000 and a half armenians from their homes and that as many as 800000 dollars. already at the time of the celica champagne. we have and that

cabling and that's the stamp it's just it's sacred charge interest the russians. are pushing out all these muslim populations from caucasian towards our minds and they're causing destruction far more effort do you think we should in turn we should be exiled and armenians into russia intended she's u.s. troops you know in revenge and in not going to cause a similar degree of economic and incentive destruction that says oh let's let's think about this it in time this german on it will be converted into the mass deportations towards that at 10 years old then it may be in south. and armenians all jews in uniform are separated into forced labor. but the idea has firmly and is that the armenians have become totally undeniable

hostile population it seems that and that and collapse more than china. he's in a moment. on the line. treacherous nation and let's not week for it to happen this time let's act 1st and then undertake massive preemptive. 100 years on these events are still a matter of debate. but one of the lasting effects of the armenian exodus to the arabian sun has been the racial diversity it brought to the region. in the 21st century their descendants are now part of the advance rich social fabric in areas

like bush the moon in beirut. the measure was throughout the whole. team. you would want to hire them and what was the. link i had been on or how book but but you know how did with him him. i thought i was a kid i had an idea before so what a whole most of. them some of us might us were a month. early has it all make. an economy. thought about the certain. ethnic diversity has also characterized this city and the northeast of the ottoman empire and the early $900.00 s. . thessaloniki salonica in modern greece.

after a very expulsion along with the muslims from and then you see here the southern spain in 1492 as a father to jews found refuge here in salonika edge. in the center is an ottoman in all of this was mainly the jewish city it was called the jerusalem of the balkans. so long ago it was one of the cities that benefited from a series of autumn reforms in the mid 19th century these included equality with muslims for both jews and christians. the nationalist leader of modern turkey most of our kemal was born and raised in this house it's now a turkish museum. the story of utter talk as the founder of modern turkey is often told. less well known

is salonica spot in the life of another nationalist leader. one who would change the map of the middle east. or polish jewish students there walked along here 911 he wore affairs like any other ottoman citizen he was here to learn ottoman turkish before going on to study law at the university or istanbul his name david been guardian all would become the 1st prime minister over there are. a. good and was a student in salonica and istanbul he actively supported the ottoman army and encouraged around 40 jews to join a pro-government militia in jerusalem. he visited america to drum up support

for the ottoman empire travelling via egypt and gori and toured 35 u.s. cities and hope to recruit some 10000 men in support of the ottoman calls. but he failed and a major british military advance changed his loyalties. in august 1960 the british went on the offensive against the autumn ones in suez under general edmund alamy. by early 1917 that removed the autumn ones from the sinai peninsula and continued their march towards palestine. in december allonby entered jerusalem on food out of respect for the holy city. as i'm all pasha the bloodshed of greater syria was forced out alamy pressed on to take the whole of the levant and force a complete ottoman retreat. the signing of the armistice of mu draws took place on

the 30th of october $980.00 a month later the whole war was over. once jerusalem fell david ben-gurion joined a jewish regiment of the british army in london before returning to palestine to pursue his political career. ben-gurion story typifies how the war presented opportunity it wasn't so much the speed at which he transferred his allegiance it was more that he recognized that a time of radical and far reaching change was dawning in the region. a new world order was about to take shape and he wanted to be one of its architects . the 1st world war gave birth to 3

nationalist movements turkish zionist and i. and the relationship between the turks and arabs changed forever as for centuries of autumn rule one ended by 4 years of conflict and. the awakening of consciousness that grew out of this shift in power was a foretaste of the arab nationalism that was to come. in the next episode. britain's contradictory promises that proved impossible to deliver. the secret agreements between britain and france that carved

up the middle east for generations they assumed that these peoples couldn't possibly believe that when the british and the french talked of national freedom that it actually meant political independence. the hopes of that independence that were ignited by the war. and the crushing disappointment as these hopes were dashed by colonial self interest in the us of fear and it was an illusion. in their measure that a. lot of. in the final episode of world war one through our own.
