in east berlin? [silence] from beyond verstammerplat stale flood arriving, a flood to air lift off island to find new homes in the west. in the face of continued soviet obstruction the 15 nato nations sought to clear the soviets' minds as to how alliancetood on the question of berlin. already in 1954 the three powers responsible for berlin had made it clear beyond doubt that any attack against berlin from any quarter would be treated as an attack on their forces and on themselves. the other members of nato immediately associated themselves with this declaration. all proposals made by the soviets toward solving the question of the reunification of germany acknowledged the means of free elections to which the west was and is firmly committed. until such time as the soviets changed their minds, the nato nations will stand firm in face of all soviet pressure and honor their pledge to maintain the pressure of west berlin and its people. a pledge often repeated at nato ministerial meetings. so until there

the middle east position was something of an afterthought. the ottoman empire was in severe economic distress in the decade prior to world war i and was trying to reform its military and governmental structures. there had been a coup that brought a group of ethnic turk leaders into power. these young turks now tried to excel rate the pace of reform. the ottoman empire was dubbed -- was dubbed and what this title the other european great power saw in the ottomans a declining empire, no able to defend or protect itself. the ottomans saw some of this danger themselves. they reached out to the german empire for land force military trainers, the british for naval trainers, and the french for air force trainers. it is important to know the ottoman military was not the corruption riddled and incompetent organization of a century earlier. in 1914, they were addled tested -- battle tested and had numerous company and field grade officers with experience that have proved themselves on the battlefield. the compelling point is no one entered world war i

of people today and of think we have always been in the middle east. they fail to understand that really, up until 1979, we had very little involvement in the middle east. and we tried to keep it that way. , following what is going on in versailles, he is trying to keep the middle east at arms length and trying to avoid any attacks. he does try to understand the commission is what gets named. commission,d the trying to figure out what can be done, but the reality is, everybody basically wants to rule themselves. that is not surprising right. , right? >> i can't do the quote hundred percent, but i think when it was proposed to wilson, i think his response was, " i don't think the american people have the stomach for that." [laughter] >> right? we can't get enough. >> given the russia's historic ambition to get a port and given the current conditions in the middle east, is it logical to conclude that vladimir putin's maneuvers in syria and persia are a continuation of that effort to move south? ort?et a warm water p >> that is a great question. i absolut

about theme i talked great war in the middle east in 1915 and 1916. so tonight, i will address the great war the middle east in 1917 and 1918 and the ramifications of that war on our present environment. so when i teach students at the command and general staff college, i regularly describe world war i as the most important war in human history. and i am going to give just two of the reasons that i give for that statement tonight. the first is that war caused the downfall and destruction of four great empires. the russian empire, the german empire, the austrian empire, and the empire we will talk about most tonight, the ottoman empire. additionally, the actions during that war and at the end of that war created many of the problems currently present in the balkan peninsula and the middle east. so many years ago as an undergraduate history student, i became enamored by the events i will recount tonight. world war i then seemed to me to be such a boring and dirty war. ok, it is just trenches and mud. yuck. and even the movie "wonder woman" showed it pre

there flowed a steady stream of refugees east to west. soon it became clear most were moving westward because they could not tolerate life in the east. again an ominous sign. in the eastern sector of berlin, communist power was fully established. by organizing special police and parra military units the soviets were illegally rearming east germany. in the world councils of the united nations the endeavor was made to establish lasting peace. these were the days of stalinnist expansion and so by repeated refusals to cooperate except onth own terms the soviet delegates sabotaged any progress toward real stability. on the 23rd of june, 1948 west berlin introduced monetary reform without which monetary recovery would have been impossible. new for old. the currency was revalued. for the russians their disagreement gave them the excuse for action. west berlin they could not touch but they could and did interfere with the life lines on which west berlin depended. the roads, railways, canals. ese were west berlin's vital utterance. so stop the tra
