the british and french dividing it. what happened in paris with lawrence was he kept fighting for -- to try to get his government to stand behind the promises made to fisal to the point lawrence became a problem for the british government. he was simply stripped of any role at the peace talks and made to place in a barrack. actually forbidden, he was in the military, forbidden to have anymore contact with him. so the betrayal went through. what happened almost instantly throughout the middle east by the -- with the partitions the place started to blow apart. it was pretty much all carved up in 1919. by 1920, this there was a full-scale revolt in iraq. there was independence riots in egypt. jewish were being attacked in palestine. there was war in europe against the french occupation. over the decades since, what you -- i think there's one more -- okay. this was the four leaders at paris. so basically what happened before wilson got to paris, the british prime minister on the far left, and then george on the second to th

the british army did more on the front. the sharpshooters could kick off a british officer for 300 yards. they thought they were safe. they're on their horses. all the americans could see was this guy is on a horse. it is on a and officer. british officers got so frightened by the sharpshooters, they had no idea where they might be. it would be hidden in the words and they would see next to you the british would tear off their insignia off the uniforms in the hopes that they wouldn't be as easily recognized. of course they still sat on horses. anybody on a horse is going to be an officer. without the officers there is disorder in the field. washington used other forms of deception. there was one case when washington was substantially cornered on a sand bar in the middle of the river in pennsylvania. the british officer cut the lead in the day and he figured he didn't really want to do an attack in the dark. so they camped on the shore and they did their thing with dinner and so on, leave the americans alone. periodically th

and a source of sovereignty and the british empire, the british government is parliament were really -- the king in parliament. and the american solution is unacceptable because it creates multiple versions of sovereignty. each call when he will have its own sovereign government. -- each colony will have its own sovereign government. even though they claim to work within the canopy of the british king. we can't have that. since aristotle everybody knows you have a final source of sovereignty. by the way, ma the whole the american constitution is based on that idea -- dispensing of that idea and have multiple sources of sovereignty. james madison is the major architect. a second reason is an early 18th century version of what we will come to call the domino theory. if we grant the americans this degree of latitude politically, what happens in iowa and? what happens in scotland? what happens in india? we can't send that signal. it's a sign of weakness. it's a sign we are not really an empire. again, if they had acted on this they would've discovered the british commonwealth 100 years e
