4:10 am
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 docket needs 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 advisers around him and many ottoman observer near appealed powers were supporting. a nationalist independence movement within the ottoman empire he
4:11 am
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 autumn and 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
4:12 am
iraqi soldiers in 1970 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 sorry for 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 sharif hussein's 1916 revolt against the ottomans and exaggerated and painted a very negative image of 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.

4:18 am
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 there is hope that there would be able to favor the alliance with germany which they had signed for 7 years not necessarily a 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. they were outnumbered on the ground in europe and could open a new eastern front against russia and the british.
