The Arab Revolt – How the Ottomans Lost the Middle East

And for saving the Brit and French bacon in the Middle East, the brave trusting Arabs got betrayal and Sykes-Picot!

The Arab revolt and Sharif Hussein in particular is a very interesting case study in the naivete of people, he made a deal which involved him committing to a cause, doing 100% percent of his part of the deal, and after that expecting that the other side will somehow "honor" the arrangement afterwards.

In politics, it is generally not a very good idea to make a deal where you make a one time payment in exchange of an on-going commitment from the other side, cause the other side can simply change their mind after you're fulfilled your side of the bargain.

Besides, the Ottomans, bad as they were in the end towards the Arabs, were nonetheless closer to them culturally, ethnically and religiously than the British, it is mind-boggling to me that the Sharif was so naive to believe that the British ever had any intent of honoring their side of the bargain, the lesson is, never betray your kin for strangers cause the stranger will never, ever have your interest in mind no matter what shiny promises they make you.

Alternate title: How Hussein and his lizard eating, camel piss drinking Neandarthal horde enabled the creation of Israel.

If you lament the destruction of Palestine, Hussein's tomb is in Jerusalem. Life can be deliciously ironic..

20:48 “The only thing that could stop the Russians would be an internal crisis.” Nice foreshadowing

They betrayed ottmans and Britain betrayed them😂

Good riddance.

2026 and we're still calling it Arab Revolt? Calling as such is a misnomer and part of British Empire narrative to make it appear as such.

Better to call it Hashemite Revolt as majority of Arabs did not revolt.

In fact, a Hungarian Jew created an ethnic divide in the Ottoman Empire by establishing Pan-Turkism, and the British took advantage of this and got their share!!! The problem is the tribal and Stone Age thinking of the Turks and Arabs.

As a Turk, i want to speak from my heart. This video has been a emotional rollercoaster for me even after it got finished, i couldb't stop thinking. Before clicking on it, i knew it would leave a bitter taste after it but it also had times of me with laughter those revolting Arabs incircling Turkish troops me watching them knowing they are making their worst decision of their lives and history even tough i was also saddened by the loss of Turkish lives. I got angry at a point where i couldn't comprehend how could these Turkish soldiers could surrender so easily with no effort whatsoever and than i calmed down and understood they were Arabian conscripts fighting in our army because no Turkish soldier would surrender that easily when confronted with the enemy. I saw the Palestinian flag for revolt against us in the photos that killed Turkish soldiers under that banner and i said there it is.

Even tough we share a belief system Us Turks never really liked Arabians and were racist against them which were even embedded to our proverbs and songs many times. We don't share an ethical values, we don't live the same way, our cultures are different, our views on the world, on life are completely different and are not compatible. They probably feel the same way against us. We ruled over them in justice and peace for centuries and they stabbed us in the back with Britian when we called a holy war against them and they killed and murdered massecered our Turkish soldiers. Our founders of our republic swore that not even one more drop of Turkish blood would be spilled for Arabian deserts.

Everyone knows how much have ancestors of Arabians that revolted against us have suffered through 100 years after we left. Even as a nation who has been living in peace and security and relative prosperouty for a 100 years. Even just watching the death, misery, poverty, destruction gives me agony beyond scales. An even sometimes pity what those people have been going through. Should i say Us Turks have been watching Arabia while eating popcorns and with laughter for 100 years? Should i say i smirked while reading all the Arabian comments that reggetted and admitted their nations irreversible mistake? I am 30 year old Turk and i today understand the meaning of: "Revenge is a dinner, cold served."

As a Turk and my cultures noble history i wanted to save innocent Palestinians, babies, children and people and wanted to be seen and dreamt the possibility of being seen as a Turkish cavalry who were their nations in savior from a genocide even tough they traited against us and kilked and murdered and did many atrocities to our soldiers. That's the nobility of act that runs through my veins. Palestinian people probably most of them don't even want to be saved by Turkish rule which they proudly revolted against us years ago in their nations history.

But i cannot forget or forgive what my ancestors went through 100 years ago. Even tough i am not religious and not a muslim anymore, i fear of the Turkish martyrs died there in agony could rise up from their graves and choke me to death until i die. I fear so much of doing any wrong to their memory i fear the possibility of a after life that they are going to haunt me if i betray their memory.

Least i can do is to stop saying they got what they deserved betraying us Turks which were protecting them under our rule. Now i realise none of todays living are responsible for their ancestors crimes or mistakes if they dont share the same views as them.

But I can promise as a member of the noble Turkish nation, if you want us to returned and be saved our flag is relatively easy. White moon and a star on red which represents the bloods we have spilled from our martyrs to that flag. Wave it and we will ride through hell to save you while risking our own lives.

You know this is an old video because Devin sounds so stiff and sounds like he's doing a class powerpoint presentation

No Arabs Revolution it's Arab betrayals We know it 😒 and Now Arabs not supported himself for example it's Palestine 🗿

Arabs pledging 100.000 for a revolt, but merely a few thousand for the imperial army, that is fighting against the westerners 'non believers'. This reflects the current state of these puppet arab states too.

Excelente vídeo. Un detalle de información muy bueno. Saludos
