Are these animations a new addition to your channel? Either way, they're top notch! Reminds me a _lot_ of Relic Entertainment's animation methodology from Homeworld.
I am very pleasantly surprised that you guys called the Osmanli empire which is the true name of the empire I really appreciate that kind of attention to detail. That really amazes me
Couple mistakes Muhammad Ali pasha dynasty outlived the ottomans. From 1805 to 1952 and the Saudi state also outlived the ottomans from 1729 till now. The arab world also had dynasty and countries that are older then usa 🇺🇸 (Saudi, Oman, Morocco)

My tribe in Somalia never revolted against the ottomans and we fought the British for 22 years from 1899 to 1921. We was the last sultanate to get help from ottomans and first country in Africa to be bombed. The british infilterated friendly tribes and brought their colonialist subjects to fight us. In 2023 Still the British regime is supporting their friendly tribes against us in northern somalia called today british Somaliland.
@ zak bro chill with that qabilist motivations u know full well Somalis fought as one against the colonialists. Somaliland sought its birth way after the Ottoman Empire.
Thx for excellent explanation! Ottomans handled so many conflicts during its lifetime, it is impressive how the state survived until 1922. And with only one bloodline.
Funny enough the last of them got on a British ship and fled after an Ottoman army officer, a marshall gathered up the people and revolted against handing over the country to West, thanks to him and the people we now have a place to call home. Amazing story really.
@@lordshitpost31 what if I say I'm not Why do you think everyone critic of your great master is some fool conservative The last Ottomans were bad for the country but the kemalists chew it soul Like after 1920s the country lost its charm in geopolitical sphere
Your map graphics were some of the best in this video. They are always super helpful building reference points to frame these complex events. In particular, this video had so many moving pieces but your graphics allowed for an easy tour through the ideas.
Take your Arab friends from Turkey to your Arabistan and the UK, these are your friends, why do you hate them, from this moment on they never had peace and they deserve it, the British turn them around as they want.

Thanks, this was a great video (as always). The maps of the development of 19th century Arab states were amazing! I hope to see more on this topic in the future.
I know they are fictional (although one is based on fact). two films I have just watched that might interest you. Khartoum with Charlton Heston and The Four Feathers, 1939 version. They are very old and the acting can be over done...a lot. But they are both set in the period you are interested in.
@@clownofthetimes6727 Yes, I've watched Khartoum. That's what got me interested in the subject. I wanted to know the real contextual history not the Hollywood version. 😅
I wish you did mention the Arab revolution did reach Syria and the son of the sheriff, Faisal, became the king of Syria for few months before he was defeated in Maysalun battle against the French few miles before Damascus. It was this king that was given the puppet state in Jordan. Though he was the only one of his family to keep his kingdom and his dependences still rule Jordan till our day.
The "revolt" did not reach Syria. The majority of Syrians fought for the Ottomans, despite their oppression. The Levant was conquered mainly by British troops, and Damascus itself was conquered by Australian troops. Syrians did not accept this random, unknown bedouin named Feisal son of Hussein as their king.
@@AppleCinnamonPie I can tell you there were Sunni Lebanese clans in the northern mountains of Lebanon who had tension and on an off fights for decades before the Arab revolt.
@@finalprophet813 I'm sure there were. But again, the *vast* majority of Arabs fought for the Ottomans. We can't even say that Lebanese participated in the revolt because it was only a tiny fraction of them.
@@finalprophet813 Well Lebanese fighting for against the Ottoman Empire probably thinking that it will help them to get the British Empire to kick the Catholic Christian or the Greek one out and favor them. Either way whatever the outcome. It will end up the same a total chaos for Lebanon. That region was alway a hot mess before the dismantle of the Ottoman Empire. Like Israel and Palestine years latter.
Contrary to the misconceptions, Ottomans didn't see themselves as solely inheritors of Persians or Romans or even inheritors of Turkic culture. They saw themselves as Ottomans, first and foremost, not only the legit heirs of both Persian, Byzantine(Roman) and Turkic cultures, but legit overlords of them all. Hence they used the titles Sultan, Khan and Kayser all at the same time.
The names of the Ottomans are Arabic or Persian?? Muhammad and Abdul Hamid or Zardasht and Khosrau? The religion of the Ottomans is Islam or Zoroastrianism?? The Ottomans alphabet is Arabic or Persian?? The caliphate is the caliphate of Omar or Khosrau?? In Hagia Sophia, the names of Muhammad, Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, Ali, or Zardasht, Khosrau, and Cyrus? Ottomans perform their prayers in Arabic or Persian? The Kabah is there a place where Ottomans faces it's direction every day five time in Arabia or in persia ??
@Kokoliko Loco those "uncivilised Turks" made your late ancestors their colonial chatel for half a millenium tho. At what scale of civilization that bitter fact puts you in I wonder.
The reason I love your videos is you show the whole map Despite talking about one or two countries you always show how the world was back then Like how all of this was happening in Europe and West Asia but you also showed Great India under British Raj so people could understand what was happening there at this time around That's really great Because that's what confuses Me the most
I wonder how many understand the "Yes Minister" reference. I for my part welcome it very much as it has been a great show that taught me a lot about politics and processes/language.
There are some points that are missed. Regarding the bedouins, up until the ending decades of the 19th century they were essentially ungoverned and so untaxed. After the reforms the Ottomans decided to start governing them which meant imposition of heavy taxation and corrupt administrators. This alone had significantly contributed to their resentment. As the new governing infrastructure was based on the Hejaz railway it was especially hated. Regarding the rural Arabs in the Levant region, the reforms brought them almost nothing creating an extremely feudal society with absentee lanlords (who frequently were christians) owning entire towns while living in Beirut or Istanbul. The reforms strengthened the rich merchants who became said landlords. The levantine arabs didn't joined the revolt but were apathetic to both sides.
@@lillegion3121 Turkey - the first Islamic country to recognize Israel. Turkey- the first Islamic country to allow gay marriage and vodka manufacturing. Shows who you are.
As a Syrian, whose grandfathers fought with the Ottomans, I see this revolt as a curse, the main reason of it was that nationalism overshadowed our religious values. for years, we achieved glory not because we were Arabs, but because we were Muslims believing in Brotherhood between us despite racial differences, thats why Turks were ruled by Arabs and Arabs were ruled by turks, Islam united us and made us the greatest, once nationalism came in, we immediately collapsed.
true ! the blame is not on the arabs alone, there was a major corruption going on on muslim lands overall. just look at the cursed young turks and what they did….
curse for you heaven for the peninsula arabs! for the first in the last 2 millennium an ethnic levantine get to rule over the levant but you failed badly so blame no one but yourself.
The British and French betrayal of the Arabs is rarely talked about nowadays. Most westerners have no idea about these things and only those that dive into these things start to understand the history.
@kızgın tosbağa they are complicit because their nation benefitted. But not all Muslims betrayed the ottomans only certain tribes who still hold power in certain regions. The ottomans was not perfect either. In 18 century they wanted to become western Europeans so bad , thats when they went downhill.
@@samizakariya5155bruh i heard some arabs saying the banned a printing machine or something and now u r saying this. They wanted to make modern not western
@@muhammaduzair2674Nah,,Ottomans certainly wanted to become european so bad. How do u think they got the nickname of "Sick man of Europe". Like the guy before said both Ottomans and arabs share heavy amount of blame of this.
As an Algerian I see this as a sad part in Islamic history Before sheriff Hussain, British tried to bribe Emir abd alkader so he can declare himself caliph of Arabs, he was Algerian figure who fought the french and was descended from the prophet cousin Ali, letters of allegiance started flowing to him but he refused and remained in Syria
@@Spartan-jg4bf it should have been done through diplomacy just like we broke away in 1671 while keeping our nominal vassal status while recognising the Ottoman as caliph of Islam similar to the Abbasid decline, however asking the Europeans for direct involvement was a big mistake made by our eastern brethren
@@Spartan-jg4bf "foreigners"?! There are no foreigners in Islam, just be a Good (in politics, military, economics, etc...) Muslim leader, and you can be Muslims' emir, sultan or imam. There is no "foreigner" in Islam. We are not nationalists, we are Muslims
Never knew about this. Learned about WW1 in school, but we were just taught that the Brits and French took that land from the Ottomans after the war during the peace treaty.
@@antoniosdimoulas3566 if you occupy something for longer than 50-60 years it's basically yours. And yes I am a giant history nerd and was aware of the medieval conquests that led to the ottoman supremacy over the middle east.
@@antoniosdimoulas3566 The people of the region didn't consider the Ottomans occupiers until the 20th century because the Ottomans were a legitimate Muslim caliphate, the British and the French were NOT.

@@antoniosdimoulas3566 You definitely saying the other nation and what they doing is more justifying. As for human right. I matter little the power that rule them in those. If it not the Turk there will be other. Especially the age nationalism when human right is basically thrown out of the window for ethnicity. Never and i repeat never those time like since the medival time to discussing of a mordem era of 19th to 21th century. That the same reason why many suffer even when got them rid of the Turk. It alway blaming the Turk when other factor also tributed to it you inogred. I don't stand with the Turk. What you saying just like those nationalism that plunged the world into a world war all for their ideal of an old passing age. Which it already did, if it not the Turk doing the thing. It the other nation or people who claimed they doing it for their nation. And i am looking at the Balkan Country who even after getting rid of the Turk didn't satisfy and caused many more like them. Only this time they was the agression one instead of the Turk to those they consider not part of them or those still loyal to the Ottoman. Hypocrites all of them. Then again we are all human. What to expect.
@@antoniosdimoulas3566 Dog literally compared turks with a kuffar Country 😂😂 Faqqot muslims didn't had any nationalistic differences until 20th century when it was introduced here by white swines like you......
I just want to mention that this "Arab" revolt only concerned the bedouins of Sherif Hussein's tribe in the Hejaz. Very, very few Arabs from Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Nejd, Yemen, or other areas participated in this revolt, and it was considered "largely unsuccessful" by British authorities. In fact, the vast majority of Arabs fought _for_ the Ottomans, and even after the war, when Hussein's son Feisal was "crowned" king of Syria, the people largely did not accept him.
There were revolts in all the Arab cities, that's why the Ottoman Army retreated to Turkish areas very fast. They knew they could easier fight and defend the fatherland.
Ottomans were no longer a Muslim empire then. You delude yourself in lies. It was controlled by the Young turks and they were indulged in secularism and Taghuts. And the ottomans were also drowning in Bidah and Every Bidah is evil and every evil is gonna be in hellfire.
@@محمدالفدعاني-ط2ث Idiots.They are controlled by the Jews.Coversation with Mohammad Asad and Chaim Wiseman,Wiseman said in 1926 Arabs will not be majority here for too long.Jews wants Arabia and get Arabs killed.

There are still sad Turkish songs about sending the poor Turks to die in Yemen while the rich just pay off the authorities. It was their Vietnam and the songs were their "Fortunate Son."
@@antoniosdimoulas3566 Janissaries were elite just like the Mamlukes they became Pashas and committed massacres in Yemen. Özdemir Pasha raised Sana'a, killed 10,000 of the males and enslaved 10,000 of the females who were sent to be sold into slavery in Istanbul. The city surrendered peacefully but he was just looking for an excuse, and yes Muslim empires did enslave other Muslims and their armries also had non-Muslim fighters. Resource thirsty empires only want profit, just like modern-day imperialism, but on a miniature scale.
@@antoniosdimoulas3566 I’m a Greek Muslim and you should know that the ottomans were barbaric and had nothing to do with Islam. Look to the Quran and life of Muhammad ﷺ and the sahaba. These fake ottoman boys broke every rule of Islam. Drinking alcohol while raping Muslim and Christian women. Fully disgusting.
@@antoniosdimoulas3566 An average jannisary had more rights and prosperity compared to a slave in the Roman army. Stop with the moral outcry of a system that last existed more than 250 years ago.
The maker of this video forgot to mention other factors for the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire which is the forced conscription of young Arab men during the balkan wars and WW1 and the high death rate of Arab soldiers during that time as what is known as “safer barlek” and also the famine that hit Syria and Lebanon during WW1 that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people during that period Another factor was the cruel policies and ruling of Turkish governors of Arab provinces which alienated the Arab population from the central government in Istanbul
Because there is no such thing as using arab soldiers in west of the empire, u are blowing info out of ur a$s. It is a logistic nightmare.. When we saw today's arabs we understood ottos had pretty good job with Middle East.
Abu Musa al-Ashari reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You will never have faith until you love each other. Shall I tell you what will make you love each other?" They said, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said, "Spread peace between yourselves. By the one in whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you are merciful to others." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, all of us are merciful." The Prophet said, "Verily, it is not only mercy between yourselves, but rather it is mercy for everyone." Al-Sunan al-Kubrä lil-Nasâ'i 5760
The Ottomans were oppressing the Arabs. The Arabs had every right to stand up to the Ottomans, its just sad that the Europeans didn't hold on to their promise and only made part of it independent.
@@Zysuzuuauajz Not true, the main reason why the British supported the idea of the Jews getting their own home were the events of the Holocaust. Before the idea was not that popular in the UK. You can't prevent something that was never would of happened in the first place.
Love the series big fan. A couple of comments the clip does not highlight and I think they should be included for the history narrative. 1) Sykes Picot treaty between France and England. This treaty was forged in secret to occupy Ottoman territory after Arabs promised Arabs independence in return for revolting. This also includes taking away territories in Anatolia. 2) western powers had long had interests in Ottoman territory especially after oil discovery in Iraq. This of course shaped future conflicts in the region and still does. 3) being a Plural society in the Middle East Europe nationalism would never work and this something everyone failed to understand wether it is arab or Turkish nationalism. This idea had died out eventually. This also applies to the Balkans as it got partitioned and still has conflict and strife. 4)western powers instigated some revolts directly or indirectly via investments or missionaries or protectorates of minorities. I can name one is the Syrian/Lebanese civil war between Druze and Maronites. 5) the Egyptian incursion led by Mohamed ali took a toll on the region. As during that time the Egyptian army (cause we are taking arab or be specific Arabs in Arabian peninsula) was more modernized and better equipped than their ottoman counterparts literally Britain had to send their Navy and Aid the Ottomans. 6) Famine struck the whole region due to the war effort and British and French navy blockades and poor ottoman management. 7) some Arabs fought with the ottomans to the bitter end all the way to Gallipoli. 8) Young Turk and Al Fatat should be mentioned regarding Turkish and Arabic nationalizing ideals. 9) at a later stage prosecution of Arabs and not being in high official ranks who were against pan Turkism and joining World War One. Need a dive on how Ottomans moved from Tanzimat to Panturkisim who took power after and took decision to enter World War One. Overall I like this episode keep them coming.
The British and French shaped Italy into nationalism through "young Italy". It was done against Austria and Spain, who had current Italian territory divided between them. Young Turks is the copy of Young Italy.
Being a long time viewer of this Rich channel, I think this bit was not enough to portray the full picture of the Arab Revolt. I think you should consider making a series about the downfall of Ottomans in the Arabia connecting them to the events from crimean war to the great war and other muslim perspectives like in Indian subcontinent. You may consider discussing the religious perspective too. You could even collaborate with Al-Muqaddimah too as he seems to be an expert on this topic. That'd be worthy of a watch. Keep up the good work. Kudos.
When I went to Turkey in 2016, our tour guide blamed this all on the British, claiming that the Arabs loved being under Ottoman rule until Lawrence of Arabia manipulated them into backstabbing the Turks.
Tour guides are not historians and, sadly, often study a single narrative to then relay to the tourists. Not to mention Turkish State has adopted a policy of 'washing their hands off everything' with, not really a revisionist, but omittal type of history. You'll see a lot of Turks being rather misinformed about their own history because of this consequently. Whilst good parts are told, even the neutral parts of the history are often omitted unless one takes the pains to research it. Studying Ottoman History in high school is funny because of this, since it is very.. frontloaded so to speak.
Arabs didnt love anything about ottomans. Some of them however fought with ottomans, not because they liked them, but because they were against the british. The ottomans were horrible, backward and barbaric.
Arabs revolted because they prefered to be cucks on their women to the Crusaders (British and France) rather than being brothers to the Muslim Ottomans. They have been cucks since then and they have been enjoying it so much.
I hope u read this, u never dissapoint us with ur content. I am 100% sure that I would never find better videos covering Muslim/Arab history with such details. Well done!
Yes bro i love this channel for this. I like that he doesn't just cover European history and actually branches off to alot of other parts of the world unlike so many history channels
Its inaccurate to say that the Arabs revolted, rather it was just specific groups and factions from among Arabs that had revolted. Arabs were not ideologically or politically homogenous, in fact, there were far more pro-Ottoman Arabs. These pro-Ottoman militia groups, despite being more numerous than the Hashemite rebels were isolated and lacked support from the Ottomans and were thus able to be picked off slowly.
Who are you to speak in our name? We all in the Arabian Peninsula hate the Turks and the Ottomans, and we will not accept that a Turkish slave rules us.
@@hamdiamairi4340 I mean, your grandmother's words are an interesting testimony, but she's not "all the commoners". As always, there are no political opinion shared by everyone. Most likely, the average commoner wouldn't care much about who rules them for 5000 km away.
It more tipped it over the edge since they had military support for the revolt. There were already major Arab nationalist groups operating in the empire at the time.
@@sev8538 Nice whataboutism. Like it or not, the Ottomans oppressed the Arabs (As explained in the video) and they rebelled. Simple. Wow. Its almost like more then one Empire can oppress people!
Love your content, You have once again out done yourself by taking a hot topic, breaking it down and explaining it methodically, without bias. your channel consistently is out doing itself. Bravo.
From what i heard the Arabs were revolting against the Ottomans quite often, meaning they probably saw WW1 as an ideal time when the Ottoman armies were distracted fighting entente forces.
It’s complicated. Arabs especially in the region of nejed revolted against the Ottomans frequently. Current Saud family is the royal family from the nejed region.

Local nationalism, European imperialism, prosecution of minorities, Capitalism voracity...you can see those same things happening in the Middle East nowadays. Excellent and very informative video which helps us to understand contemporary issues.
Not nowadays,it's happened in 1940s in Arab world and middle east. All Arab and middle east countries became more open , secular and western country. India was more conservative than those Arab countries till 1990s. Movies of Syria, Iran, Egypt,Iraq mostly showed bikini,lip kiss,full back nudity scene,even some shows full frontal nudity which was never showed in India movie
@@ahmedbabiker6562 I said about 1940-80s . Nudity,lip kiss, bikini scene began in Arab Cinema (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon) more earlier compared to indian cinema. Lip kiss , bikini was so common and normal 1960,70,80s Egyptian, Syrian, Lebanese movie where India was still conservative society and film industry on that time. Even in 1950s, Egyptian actress wore so short and revealing dress and had some lip kiss scene when indian actress wore conservative dress on that time .In 1980s, indian cinema began to Open,but perform lip kiss , intimate scene and bikini scenes was still considered bold ,risky and brave scene in Indian cinema ,after 1990s they became more open. You can see some indian movies of 1960,70,80s and also some Egyptian movies of 1960-80s and say which was more open and had more bold, nudity and open scenes. Also without the context of Lip kiss, bikini, intimate scene, Egyptian actress frequently and normally perform in short revealing dress in most time while actress wearing revealing dress was not so common(yes,there was still some scene where indian actress wore revealing dress ,but small percentage compared to Egyptian, Syrian cinema) in indian cinema till 1980s.
It is the world war 1 , Turkey and Germany were fighting against the British and the only way to weaken the alliance is to destroy the Turks by orchestrating the revolt, and eventually the Ottoman empire was dismantled .
The Ottomans were a multi-ethnical, multi-religious, multi-ideological Empire wiith everyone wanting their own state with their own ideology and their own doctrine. Not hard to figure out, why things didn't work out, regardless of which direction the young turks could have taken.
I am betting they didn't saw the the Austrian Hungry situation or they just looking at Germany for their model. Austrian , Russian and Ottoman literally the all in the same case yet rather than fixing in the internal one they rather fought each over another ethinic piece of land.
@@justsefa1843 Yeah that why i felt poor for those multi ethnic Empire like Austria Russia and Ottoman. They literally a powder keg. And of course the first world war have to be caused by nationalism.
Ottoman empire were a "succesor" of the islamic empire. Compare it to Holy roman empire, claiming they are succesors to the ancient romans. So of course its diverse, but they were horrible.
Kings and Generals and Cogito are my comfort channels: should I want to relax and enjoy some of the best content available on RUclips, they're the safest bet!
Yes, indeed. Civ soundtrack is often used in K&G videos. Videos for Celts, Mesopotamian civilizations, Mongolian empire involved it as well. Maybe others too, haven't noticed.
Some parallels with other empires that broke up when the monarch attempted to centralise control of of the colonies, like George III losing America, or the alienation of the Hispanic elites by the Spanish Bourbon reforms. Could you do a video on the Hispanic American wars of independence? Thanks.
In short, we can summarize the causes of unnecessary tension between Turks and Arabs as following: - The too much expansion of any state will lead to economic, social and political issues. - The basic cause for establishing Ottoman Empire was "Jihad", which was necessary to defend the land against the Crusades and to block them. Once the Ottomans forgot that, the trobles with Arabs (among other Islamic nations) began. - Accepting Nationalism was like taking a virus to conceal weakness of both Turks and Arabs. Both of them couldn't bring on all their material and cultural resources to face industrial and military power of the West. Eventually, the Nationalism virus destroyed both of them.
Nothing new in those era. Nationalism was already a virus to those in the West. Jusk the Austrian Hungry Empire and the Russian Empire. Well at least the Russian Empire did a better job than the Ottoman Empire by suppressing every," every" nationalism intend against the Tsar authoritarian rule. Especially the rebellious Pole =)).
@kızgın tosbağa Where is this "freedom" you're talking about? Arabs are now living under rule uglier than Ottoman's. Since 1922 and the case is getting worse, and the British and French knew that Arabs and Turks can somehow regain peace and understanding between each other to reform their state, so they decided to destroy Ottoman empire. The West brilliantly managed to create a new situation to make Arabs think they finally got their independence and freedom, while obviously the truth is so far from that. It was better to stay under the Ottoman rule (because it was at least legitimate!) than to face regimes controlled ultimately by the West and Capitalism.
@kızgın tosbağa the one who revolt were not Syrians or Palestinians or Iraqis lmao!! it was the peninsula Arabs whom today have a much much more stable society / economy much safer countries , better valued passports than than yours , in fact i've seen turks workk in saudi and UAE and qatar as barbers and labor works how is that a bad of deal tho?? 🤣 it seems to me the the arab revolt served them good
@kızgın tosbağa can you actually read English ? the Arabs whom had the revolt against the Ottoman empire are the Arabian peninsula arabs like saudis not syrians and other levantine arabs of course the Arabian peninsula arabs like Saudis and Emiratis and Qataris have a better life than you , even their passports grant them entry to almost anywhere unlike yours, it's good they revolted against the ottoman and ruled their own land.
In the social hierarchy there were clear distinctions of status and power between “ Turks ” ( atrak ) , the term usually applied by native Egyptian writers to both Ottomans and Mamluks , and the Arabic - speaking indigenous population whom those in power often lumped together as " peasants " ( fallahin ) regardless of occu- pation or residence . Egypt: A Short History James P. Jankowski · 2000 · p.60
My heart cries seeing how the sharif chose the brits over the caliph. Its only the indian muslims who supported the caliph until the abolition of caliphate.
Between the Ottoman Empire did not join World War I and survive to modern days and the Khedivate of Egypt eventually rose to become the new major Islamic power instead of the Ottoman Empire, which sounds more likely? Regardless of which happened, Britain will still won anyway in some ways. If not by military victories, then the political and diplomatic victories are most likely. And the Hejaz will be in the hands of the Muslim dynasty that did not practice Wahhabism in this timeline.
1- There is literally a museum for the house of British spy Lawrence in Arabia. He is honored and seen as a hero by Saudis. So I think knowing that already clears up many things on this case. 2- There is literally a Hilton Hotel upon the graveyard of first caliph of Islam 3- First wahabi revolts occurred during rule of Mahmud II (first reformist Ottoman sultan) and wahabis sacked the tomb of prophet's relatives. All of them were repaired by Turks. 4- A person from west interested in that case must learn the difference between Turkish way of Islam and Wahhabi fundamentalism. Even during under the most conservative and islamic sultan of Ottoman Empire Turks have never came in terms with Gulf Arabian way of islam which is incredibly backwards and purist. Most of Arabs (except Lebanon Iraq and Syria) anyway never accepted the caliphate of Ottomans since Selim conquered Egypt and Arab lands. 5- Arab Revolts were a reaction to Turkish nationalism in regions like Lebanon and parts of Syria however it was nothing but a British backed division plan when you look at southern parts. The amount of gold given to Saudi warlords by British during these years is beyond belief. All was to control them. Arabs were promised a large Arabia reaching to southeast of Turkey but of course they had to sit and accept what their bosses offer them while giving all rights to British to obtain their oil sources. How heroic right? 6- All in all as a Turk I am extremely happy that we could cut our ties with this part of the world and we could differentiate ourselves from them by any means.
whabies are way more closer to the traditions of islam than you. the reason why wahabies have demolished those graves is that many people were venerating the graves and even in some cases worshiping them which is strictly prohibited by the prophet himself.
"All in all as a Turk I am extremely happy that we could cut our ties with this part of the world and we could differentiate ourselves from them by any means." Lol you act like you were forced to be there or something you are the ones who horribly ruled that region for 300yrs straight and still dont want to accept it. And yes you did differentiate yourselves by moving away from ottoman turkish and Islam claiming you want your own identity... but then adopt latin letters for your language and westernize your traditions and culture. 😂 Fake identity "Wahhabi fundamentalism" my goodness hhhhhhhhh
@@blueyy9117 like any single person cares. You live under dynasties, even your police officers are selected from a family. And the ones ruling Arabia right now were the ones shook hands with British.
As a Turk i can understand Arabs wanna have an indipendent state but the problem is they can't even unite as a nation. Some Arabic countries are extremely rich and they don't really wanna take care of other Arabic countries. I am seeing some people from Saudi or UAE or Qatar saying "thanks god it happened" but would you say this if you guys weren't oil rich ? Don't get me wrong i am glad that some people are having nice life but what if you didn't have that ? I don't really understand point of being independent if you won't help your brother. Instead of that they are just funding terrorist organisations in other Arabic countries. I think it is weird.
I think it's partly because we all think them as a single body of society just because their overall language and customs are similar But they're vastly different to each other.
Turning point in the middle east. This gave British complete control of the middle east and eventually they established the state of israel. arabs shot themselves in the foot.
Nope we didn’t, Turks were slaughtering us and segregating us. They wanted to make an ethno-religious state, which made no sense cause Muslims in Turkey were much more liberal than Muslims in the rest of the Ottoman Empire. And by the time the Arabs revolted Turks were barely even Muslim, Ataturk came and took away Islam from state religion and took away Sharia. It no longer made sense to stay one nation, we didn’t have the same idealogies. Ottoman Caliphate was only a Caliphate by name.
Time is the best medicine.As ı am a Turk,we should get lessons from history.They betrayed Ottomans and middle east has never been same after Turks had to leave terrorities in middle east.Now There are just wars and blood in middle east.Rebels must be proud of what they did.Ottoman empire was really a big empire unlike colonist France and British empire.
Nice video, liked the maps, i especially like the Senussi on the side, except for one thing - those maps that showed the Sudan did not show the independent Muslim country of Darfur. Also while you concentrated on the Hejaz and the Sharif of Mecca, you did not mention the near constant fighting between Saud Nejd and Jabal Shammar, the puppet of Ottomans. That would lead to after the WWI to house of Saud conquering all Arabia. The British allied/aided Saud early in WWI, much earlier than Hejaz revolt. Of course so did Abir also. But a great video over all.
Did they? They supplied arms but most of it was literally in WW1, the british only really supplied weapons to Saud but Hussein got political support + much more weaponry. Thing is though alsaud were already at war with the Ottoman puppets before the british got involved or WW1 in general. So it was just alignment from their side, while hussein flipped. Pretty sure the British also forced Alsaud to stop ikhwan raids constantly on their protectorate in kuwait and stopped the earlier hejaz war but then stayed neutral later in the second one
They revolt against their sultan and religious similar and trusted those whose they foughted for years only to be betrayed, allowing the infidel to hold Jerusalem, Beirut, Bagdad and more and then the creation of Israel and the balkanisation and economic vassalisation of their countries. Great job guys! 👏 If your ancestors in the crusades or Mongolian invasion saw that their sacrifices were for this they would not kept fighting
Not all arbs revolted for example tunisia this is fitna trying to distant Arab sunni and sunni turks don't fall for this brother traitors existed in every nation when Algeria was fighting French for independence some Algerian fought with the French
You colonise their lands and expect them not to fight back? 😂 Why did you guys fight in 1922 for your land instead of surrendering and living under Europeans?
Ottoman had to fall. The rest of the Islamic world fell. Only Persians remained free. Hindustan fall, central Asia, east Asia fell. The worst days of Muslims begins. Though I as a Muslim support this. Hard time creates strong men. Islam re risen from Ashes. Now it's in Europe. Thanks to colonialism. The unstoppable tide of Islam.
In Jordan we studied that the reasons the Arab revolted were: _The high taxes forced. _Forcing the Turkish language upon Arabs and trying to erase Arabic. _Treating Arabs like second class citizens _Military conscription upon Arabs _Jon Turkler movement and ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyeti and Sultan Abdulhamid dismissal. But we also been been taught about the ottomans fairly and that they had their ups and downs and they weren't occupiers and we were part of their empire.
Even the turks were taught that the ottomans want to erase the Turkish language and replace the Arabic on it's place , It's All about a British education , No matter who's the student turk or Arab,if he's a Muslim that's their goal to create problem between you .
@@asd-ip5hjoh no please help us mister Turk… LMAO we don’t need you trash bags help, lmao go help your crumbling currency .last time you were kicked out of Arabia if you want we can come and kick you out of Anatolia too if you want.
Corrections: The revolt was not against the ottomans. It was against the young Turks who led a coup against abdulhamid. They were the final reason for the end of the empire, and they sacrificed so many Arab soldiers for no reason in WWI. Sharif Hussein didn’t go out by his own choice, but he was asked to by so many groups or societies in the levant as if he was looked at as the best leader or alternative.
British agent Lawrence : Arabs killed Turks so much that I hated even those who did not have weapons... Now every Syrian Iraqi Palestinian Yemeni who dies, bombs are exploding every day.
Is Israel very good, one of the young Turks who staged a coup, now it is also changing with the election, we are not Arabs, we send it if we don't like it. It searches for incoming and outgoing. Now let Israel allow you to pray in al-Aqsa Mosque.
Since we’re on the topic of the Ottoman Empire, I’m wondering why Egypt voluntarily divorced itself from the Ottomans only to become a client state of the British Empire?
You do not know anything. The Ottoman state, at its end, became unjust, especially to the Arabs. They did not give them anything and deliberately ignored them in everything. I am proud that I was born in the Arabian Peninsula
@@user-D7oomYou said that they didn't give anything, now you can't even take your homeland, soon your race will go, look at what you're stuck with. They're looking at you like snot what would happen if the Ottomans looked down on you Israel looks like shit
03:12 This word Wahabbism is ethnic European Propagation same as the middle East, now if India is said to be East India, it's names are Bharat, Hindustan. India is a colonial name, although since it's meaning is a place of natives, it's not much of a concern.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not come to pass before the River Euphrates dries up to unveil the mountain of gold, for which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of one hundred will die (in the fighting) and every man amongst them will say: 'Perhaps I may be the only one to remain alive."' Riyad as-Salihin 1822
Bruh the arab world has dynasties during and after ottomans empire. The Saud family still exist. The leader of Omani empire the Saadi in Morocco all still exist. Even in Egypt and Sudan Muhammad Ali pasha dynasty outlived the ottomans from 1805 to 1952.
@@Timurid1370 doesn’t matter his descendants ruled there from 1805 to 1952. Talk about Arabs being nationalist. He was good leader the built Suez Canal made Egypt Egypt strong Egypt has the most powerful army in the Middle East. Egyptians are set because of Muhammad Ali pasha.

''Yes Mister (Yes Minister) i can gib you oil u can gib me the money and freedom(freedom in word, in reality we call it commitment) ''
As a Turkish-Kurdish That's why Turks don't like Arabs even today. Although this is not pleasant, but they do not never forget this betrayal. If the Ottomans were standing today, there would not have been so many wars in Muslim countries.
I disagree with this. As an Iraqi our country was under constant ottoman campiagns and forced looting of towns and cities when ottoman armies were not paid. We all in iraq look at the time of ottomans as oppressive and unstable while british rule allowed country to organise we don't care if we didn't have full independance but people were better off
Now I know why the Kurds do not have a state. Do you want us to be like you? The Kurdish places are poor and the Turkish side is rich and there is no recognition of the Kurdish language until late.

My tribe in Somalia never revolted against the ottomans and we fought the British for 22 years from 1899 to 1921.

I wish you did mention the Arab revolution did reach Syria and the son of the sheriff, Faisal, became the king of Syria for few months before he was defeated in Maysalun battle against the French few miles before Damascus. It was this king that was given the puppet state in Jordan. Though he was the only one of his family to keep his kingdom and his dependences still rule Jordan till our day.

The "revolt" did not reach Syria. The majority of Syrians fought for the Ottomans, despite their oppression. The Levant was conquered mainly by British troops, and Damascus itself was conquered by Australian troops. Syrians did not accept this random, unknown bedouin named Feisal son of Hussein as their king.
@@AppleCinnamonPie I can tell you there were Sunni Lebanese clans in the northern mountains of Lebanon who had tension and on an off fights for decades before the Arab revolt.
@@finalprophet813 I'm sure there were. But again, the *vast* majority of Arabs fought for the Ottomans. We can't even say that Lebanese participated in the revolt because it was only a tiny fraction of them.
@@finalprophet813 Well Lebanese fighting for against the Ottoman Empire probably thinking that it will help them to get the British Empire to kick the Catholic Christian or the Greek one out and favor them. Either way whatever the outcome. It will end up the same a total chaos for Lebanon. That region was alway a hot mess before the dismantle of the Ottoman Empire. Like Israel and Palestine years latter.
Contrary to the misconceptions, Ottomans didn't see themselves as solely inheritors of Persians or Romans or even inheritors of Turkic culture. They saw themselves as Ottomans, first and foremost, not only the legit heirs of both Persian, Byzantine(Roman) and Turkic cultures, but legit overlords of them all. Hence they used the titles Sultan, Khan and Kayser all at the same time.
....
The names of the Ottomans are Arabic or Persian?? Muhammad and Abdul Hamid or Zardasht and Khosrau?
The religion of the Ottomans is Islam or Zoroastrianism??
The Ottomans alphabet is Arabic or Persian??
The caliphate is the caliphate of Omar or Khosrau??

There are some points that are missed. Regarding the bedouins, up until the ending decades of the 19th century they were essentially ungoverned and so untaxed. After the reforms the Ottomans decided to start governing them which meant imposition of heavy taxation and corrupt administrators. This alone had significantly contributed to their resentment. As the new governing infrastructure was based on the Hejaz railway it was especially hated.
Regarding the rural Arabs in the Levant region, the reforms brought them almost nothing creating an extremely feudal society with absentee lanlords (who frequently were christians) owning entire towns while living in Beirut or Istanbul. The reforms strengthened the rich merchants who became said landlords. The levantine arabs didn't joined the revolt but were apathetic to both sides.

As a Syrian, whose grandfathers fought with the Ottomans, I see this revolt as a curse, the main reason of it was that nationalism overshadowed our religious values.
for years, we achieved glory not because we were Arabs, but because we were Muslims believing in Brotherhood between us despite racial differences, thats why Turks were ruled by Arabs and Arabs were ruled by turks, Islam united us and made us the greatest, once nationalism came in, we immediately collapsed.
true ! the blame is not on the arabs alone, there was a major corruption going on on muslim lands overall. just look at the cursed young turks and what they did….

I just want to mention that this "Arab" revolt only concerned the bedouins of Sherif Hussein's tribe in the Hejaz. Very, very few Arabs from Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Nejd, Yemen, or other areas participated in this revolt, and it was considered "largely unsuccessful" by British authorities. In fact, the vast majority of Arabs fought _for_ the Ottomans, and even after the war, when Hussein's son Feisal was "crowned" king of Syria, the people largely did not accept him.

The maker of this video forgot to mention other factors for the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire which is the forced conscription of young Arab men during the balkan wars and WW1 and the high death rate of Arab soldiers during that time as what is known as “safer barlek” and also the famine that hit Syria and Lebanon during WW1 that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people during that period
Another factor was the cruel policies and ruling of Turkish governors of Arab provinces which alienated the Arab population from the central government in Istanbul
Because there is no such thing as using arab soldiers in west of the empire, u are blowing info out of ur a$s. It is a logistic nightmare.. When we saw today's arabs we understood ottos had pretty good job with Middle East.

Abu Musa al-Ashari reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You will never have faith until you love each other. Shall I tell you what will make you love each other?" They said, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said, "Spread peace between yourselves. By the one in whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you are merciful to others." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, all of us are merciful." The Prophet said, "Verily, it is not only mercy between yourselves, but rather it is mercy for everyone."

Love the series big fan. A couple of comments the clip does not highlight and I think they should be included for the history narrative.
1) Sykes Picot treaty between France and England. This treaty was forged in secret to occupy Ottoman territory after Arabs promised Arabs independence in return for revolting. This also includes taking away territories in Anatolia.
2) western powers had long had interests in Ottoman territory especially after oil discovery in Iraq. This of course shaped future conflicts in the region and still does.
3) being a Plural society in the Middle East Europe nationalism would never work and this something everyone failed to understand wether it is arab or Turkish nationalism. This idea had died out eventually. This also applies to the Balkans as it got partitioned and still has conflict and strife.
4)western powers instigated some revolts directly or indirectly via investments or missionaries or protectorates of minorities. I can name one is the Syrian/Lebanese civil war between Druze and Maronites.
5) the Egyptian incursion led by Mohamed ali took a toll on the region. As during that time the Egyptian army (cause we are taking arab or be specific Arabs in Arabian peninsula) was more modernized and better equipped than their ottoman counterparts literally Britain had to send their Navy and Aid the Ottomans.
6) Famine struck the whole region due to the war effort and British and French navy blockades and poor ottoman management.
7) some Arabs fought with the ottomans to the bitter end all the way to Gallipoli.
8) Young Turk and Al Fatat should be mentioned regarding Turkish and Arabic nationalizing ideals.
9) at a later stage prosecution of Arabs and not being in high official ranks who were against pan Turkism and joining World War One. Need a dive on how Ottomans moved from Tanzimat to Panturkisim who took power after and took decision to enter World War One.
Overall I like this episode keep them coming.
The British and French shaped Italy into nationalism through "young Italy". It was done against Austria and Spain, who had current Italian territory divided between them.
Young Turks is the copy of Young Italy.

hey there, seems you have a great knowledge regarding this topic. Can you recommend me some books for this topic?
Being a long time viewer of this Rich channel, I think this bit was not enough to portray the full picture of the Arab Revolt. I think you should consider making a series about the downfall of Ottomans in the Arabia connecting them to the events from crimean war to the great war and other muslim perspectives like in Indian subcontinent. You may consider discussing the religious perspective too. You could even collaborate with Al-Muqaddimah too as he seems to be an expert on this topic. That'd be worthy of a watch. Keep up the good work. Kudos.
When I went to Turkey in 2016, our tour guide blamed this all on the British, claiming that the Arabs loved being under Ottoman rule until Lawrence of Arabia manipulated them into backstabbing the Turks.
Tour guides are not historians and, sadly, often study a single narrative to then relay to the tourists. Not to mention Turkish State has adopted a policy of 'washing their hands off everything' with, not really a revisionist, but omittal type of history. You'll see a lot of Turks being rather misinformed about their own history because of this consequently. Whilst good parts are told, even the neutral parts of the history are often omitted unless one takes the pains to research it. Studying Ottoman History in high school is funny because of this, since it is very.. frontloaded so to speak.
Arabs didnt love anything about ottomans. Some of them however fought with ottomans, not because they liked them, but because they were against the british. The ottomans were horrible, backward and barbaric.
So tour guy was an arab worshipping erdogan supporter.
It didn’t end up how the Arabs wanted and the results are still being felt today.
Arabs revolted because they prefered to be cucks on their women to the Crusaders (British and France) rather than being brothers to the Muslim Ottomans. They have been cucks since then and they have been enjoying it so much.
I agree, British tricked them.

Its inaccurate to say that the Arabs revolted, rather it was just specific groups and factions from among Arabs that had revolted. Arabs were not ideologically or politically homogenous, in fact, there were far more pro-Ottoman Arabs. These pro-Ottoman militia groups, despite being more numerous than the Hashemite rebels were isolated and lacked support from the Ottomans and were thus able to be picked off slowly.

Not nowadays,it's happened in 1940s in Arab world and middle east. All Arab and middle east countries became more open , secular and western country. India was more conservative than those Arab countries till 1990s.

You can see some indian movies of 1960,70,80s and also some Egyptian movies of 1960-80s and say which was more open and had more bold, nudity and open scenes. Also without the context of Lip kiss, bikini, intimate scene, Egyptian actress frequently and normally perform in short revealing dress in most time while actress wearing revealing dress was not so common(yes,there was still some scene where indian actress wore revealing dress ,but small percentage compared to Egyptian, Syrian cinema) in indian cinema till 1980s.
It is the world war 1 , Turkey and Germany were fighting against the British and the only way to weaken the alliance is to destroy the Turks by orchestrating the revolt, and eventually the Ottoman empire was dismantled .

Some parallels with other empires that broke up when the monarch attempted to centralise control of of the colonies, like George III losing America, or the alienation of the Hispanic elites by the Spanish Bourbon reforms. Could you do a video on the Hispanic American wars of independence? Thanks.
Very interesting. Thank you.
Interesting stuff. I just watched the Lawrance of Arabia movie this weekend so this is a good background on what went on!
In short, we can summarize the causes of unnecessary tension between Turks and Arabs as following:
- The too much expansion of any state will lead to economic, social and political issues.
- The basic cause for establishing Ottoman Empire was "Jihad", which was necessary to defend the land against the Crusades and to block them. Once the Ottomans forgot that, the trobles with Arabs (among other Islamic nations) began.
- Accepting Nationalism was like taking a virus to conceal weakness of both Turks and Arabs. Both of them couldn't bring on all their material and cultural resources to face industrial and military power of the West. Eventually, the Nationalism virus destroyed both of them.
Nothing new in those era. Nationalism was already a virus to those in the West. Jusk the Austrian Hungry Empire and the Russian Empire. Well at least the Russian Empire did a better job than the Ottoman Empire by suppressing every," every" nationalism intend against the Tsar authoritarian rule. Especially the rebellious Pole =)).
@kızgın tosbağa Where is this "freedom" you're talking about? Arabs are now living under rule uglier than Ottoman's. Since 1922 and the case is getting worse, and the British and French knew that Arabs and Turks can somehow regain peace and understanding between each other to reform their state, so they decided to destroy Ottoman empire.
The West brilliantly managed to create a new situation to make Arabs think they finally got their independence and freedom, while obviously the truth is so far from that. It was better to stay under the Ottoman rule (because it was at least legitimate!) than to face regimes controlled ultimately by the West and Capitalism.
@kızgın tosbağa genede arap topraklarında ki insan gücünü ve kaynakları kaybettik ama tabi istikrar konusunda artışada sebeb oldu
@kızgın tosbağa the one who revolt were not Syrians or Palestinians or Iraqis lmao!! it was the peninsula Arabs whom today have a much much more stable society / economy much safer countries , better valued passports than than yours , in fact i've seen turks workk in saudi and UAE and qatar as barbers and labor works how is that a bad of deal tho?? 🤣 it seems to me the the arab revolt served them good
@kızgın tosbağa can you actually read English ? the Arabs whom had the revolt against the Ottoman empire are the Arabian peninsula arabs like saudis not syrians and other levantine arabs of course the Arabian peninsula arabs like Saudis and Emiratis and Qataris have a better life than you , even their passports grant them entry to almost anywhere unlike yours, it's good they revolted against the ottoman and ruled their own land.
In the social hierarchy there were clear distinctions of status and power between “ Turks ” ( atrak ) , the term usually applied by native Egyptian writers to both Ottomans and Mamluks , and the Arabic - speaking indigenous population whom those in power often lumped together as " peasants " ( fallahin ) regardless of occu- pation or residence .

My heart cries seeing how the sharif chose the brits over the caliph. Its only the indian muslims who supported the caliph until the abolition of caliphate.
Thank you the Video and the English subtitle.
Between the Ottoman Empire did not join World War I and survive to modern days and the Khedivate of Egypt eventually rose to become the new major Islamic power instead of the Ottoman Empire, which sounds more likely? Regardless of which happened, Britain will still won anyway in some ways. If not by military victories, then the political and diplomatic victories are most likely. And the Hejaz will be in the hands of the Muslim dynasty that did not practice Wahhabism in this timeline.
1- There is literally a museum for the house of British spy Lawrence in Arabia. He is honored and seen as a hero by Saudis. So I think knowing that already clears up many things on this case.
2- There is literally a Hilton Hotel upon the graveyard of first caliph of Islam
3- First wahabi revolts occurred during rule of Mahmud II (first reformist Ottoman sultan) and wahabis sacked the tomb of prophet's relatives. All of them were repaired by Turks.
4- A person from west interested in that case must learn the difference between Turkish way of Islam and Wahhabi fundamentalism. Even during under the most conservative and islamic sultan of Ottoman Empire Turks have never came in terms with Gulf Arabian way of islam which is incredibly backwards and purist. Most of Arabs (except Lebanon Iraq and Syria) anyway never accepted the caliphate of Ottomans since Selim conquered Egypt and Arab lands.
5- Arab Revolts were a reaction to Turkish nationalism in regions like Lebanon and parts of Syria however it was nothing but a British backed division plan when you look at southern parts. The amount of gold given to Saudi warlords by British during these years is beyond belief. All was to control them. Arabs were promised a large Arabia reaching to southeast of Turkey but of course they had to sit and accept what their bosses offer them while giving all rights to British to obtain their oil sources. How heroic right?
6- All in all as a Turk I am extremely happy that we could cut our ties with this part of the world and we could differentiate ourselves from them by any means.
whabies are way more closer to the traditions of islam than you. the reason why wahabies have demolished those graves is that many people were venerating the graves and even in some cases worshiping them which is strictly prohibited by the prophet himself.
You can always rely on a turk to lie
"All in all as a Turk I am extremely happy that we could cut our ties with this part of the world and we could differentiate ourselves from them by any means."

As a Turk i can understand Arabs wanna have an indipendent state but the problem is they can't even unite as a nation. Some Arabic countries are extremely rich and they don't really wanna take care of other Arabic countries. I am seeing some people from Saudi or UAE or Qatar saying "thanks god it happened" but would you say this if you guys weren't oil rich ? Don't get me wrong i am glad that some people are having nice life but what if you didn't have that ? I don't really understand point of being independent if you won't help your brother. Instead of that they are just funding terrorist organisations in other Arabic countries. I think it is weird.
I think it's partly because we all think them as a single body of society just because their overall language and customs are similar
But they're vastly different to each other.

Nope we didn’t, Turks were slaughtering us and segregating us. They wanted to make an ethno-religious state, which made no sense cause Muslims in Turkey were much more liberal than Muslims in the rest of the Ottoman Empire. And by the time the Arabs revolted Turks were barely even Muslim, Ataturk came and took away Islam from state religion and took away Sharia.

Also while you concentrated on the Hejaz and the Sharif of Mecca, you did not mention the near constant fighting between Saud Nejd and Jabal Shammar, the puppet of Ottomans. That would lead to after the WWI to house of Saud conquering all Arabia. The British allied/aided Saud early in WWI, much earlier than Hejaz revolt.
Of course so did Abir also.
But a great video over all.
Did they?
They supplied arms but most of it was literally in WW1, the british only really supplied weapons to Saud but Hussein got political support + much more weaponry. Thing is though alsaud were already at war with the Ottoman puppets before the british got involved or WW1 in general. So it was just alignment from their side, while hussein flipped.
Pretty sure the British also forced Alsaud to stop ikhwan raids constantly on their protectorate in kuwait and stopped the earlier hejaz war but then stayed neutral later in the second one

_Jon Turkler movement and ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyeti and Sultan Abdulhamid dismissal.

The revolt was not against the ottomans. It was against the young Turks who led a coup against abdulhamid. They were the final reason for the end of the empire, and they sacrificed so many Arab soldiers for no reason in WWI.

Alhamdulillah our ancestors were not traitors like arabs. proud to be born in pakistan
You do not know anything. The Ottoman state, at its end, became unjust, especially to the Arabs. They did not give them anything and deliberately ignored them in everything. I am proud that I was born in the Arabian Peninsula

03:12 This word Wahabbism is ethnic European Propagation same as the middle East, now if India is said to be East India, it's names are Bharat, Hindustan. India is a colonial name, although since it's meaning is a place of natives, it's not much of a concern.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The Hour will not come to pass before the River Euphrates dries up to unveil the mountain of gold, for which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of one hundred will die (in the fighting) and every man amongst them will say: 'Perhaps I may be the only one to remain alive."'

The Arab world never recovered after revolting against the Ottomans; the Ottomans never recovered after losing the Arab world.
Bruh the arab world has dynasties during and after ottomans empire. The Saud family still exist. The leader of Omani empire the Saadi in Morocco all still exist. Even in Egypt and Sudan Muhammad Ali pasha dynasty outlived the ottomans from 1805 to 1952.

@@Timurid1370 doesn’t matter his descendants ruled there from 1805 to 1952. Talk about Arabs being nationalist. He was good leader the built Suez Canal made Egypt Egypt strong Egypt has the most powerful army in the Middle East. Egyptians are set because of Muhammad Ali pasha.
Wdym Ottomans never recovered? They were never a colony of the west lol
@@trillmoney263 It was very nice of you to defend the kingdoms whose flags were trivially designed by British officer at their desk. I can see where you work from the flags you use and where your kings serve.

May Allah unite the Muslims upon the Qur'an and the Sunnah and give us Honor after Humiliation.
we have to unite ourselves.
I hope you mean humility.
As a Turkish-Kurdish That's why Turks don't like Arabs even today. Although this is not pleasant, but they do not never forget this betrayal. If the Ottomans were standing today, there would not have been so many wars in Muslim countries.
As a half kurd/turk the turkish side is also to blame for this revolt.
Keep crying do you see the video that there is arab tribe who side with ottoman
I disagree with this. As an Iraqi our country was under constant ottoman campiagns and forced looting of towns and cities when ottoman armies were not paid. We all in iraq look at the time of ottomans as oppressive and unstable while british rule allowed country to organise we don't care if we didn't have full independance but people were better off
@@TheIraqiforce not all Iraq is under Ottoman South Iraq is Independence under tayy tribe Also Iraq is a new country
Now I know why the Kurds do not have a state. Do you want us to be like you? The Kurdish places are poor and the Turkish side is rich and there is no recognition of the Kurdish language until late.
