Sykes-Picot: How and why Britain carved up the Arab world | Roy Casagranda | UNAPOLOGETIC

[@robertrichard6107]

He snuck the word 'Israel' in there when it didn't exist. Occupied Palestine occurred to create a 'Jewish' homeland so that U.S. Jews in the media would bring the U.S. on board to fight in the war on the Western Front. Since Lenin blew the whistle on Sykes-Picot then made peace with Germany, Britain needed the U.S. on the Western Front to fight more Germans. That's what Balfour was written for, to bring U.S. officially into the war. They're actually secretly supporting the White Russians with arms, and some troops by that time. The Turkish Minister of War actually gave a German battleship crew Arab Feez hats to wear when they went through to the Black Sea and shelled the Russian Navy base at Sebastopol. The Russians declared war on Turkey then Nov. 1, 1914. The Mid-East war was actually over then by 31, October 1918 a dozen days before the 'Armistice' which bounced Germany's Blank Check to Austria, and gave Italy a lump of coal for Christmas.

Even early rebellions by minorities weren't seen as helpful, until the Russians started backing South Slavs and Balkan independence became inevitable.

As an Iraqi researcher of the Ottoman Empire, I would like to say this. In my opinion, instead of questioning how the "Arabs" were divided, we should question how the Ottoman Empire was divided and how we left the Ottomans alone in the war as an ummah. Our rebel Arab ancestors who fought against the British and protected the holy lands at the cost of their lives and who unfortunately rebelled against the Ottoman detachments and pashas who were stabbed in the back should be emphasized. We should talk about the idea that divided us as an ummah. Today, perhaps the entire Islamic geography is fighting each other and has sown the seeds of hatred and grudge against each other. We need to look at how these things came about. If our Arab ancestors had not betrayed the Ottomans today, neither the Sykest Picot agreements would have come into effect, nor would the Americans and the British have entered Iraq, nor would there have been genocide against our brothers in Palestine and Jerusalem would still be ours, that is, Islam's...

As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. _Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide and rule games on their neighbours._ *Forget "nukes". The "divide and rule/conquer"-strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be used invisibly in times of peace, AND in times of crisis and war equaly.* Ever since the two-faced "snake" slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), human beings have fruitlessly warned and have continuously been warned, against "divisions" within a peaceful status quo.

The Sykes-Picot agreement walked all over that promise and there's been chaos and turmoil ever since. I have read that the REAL cause of WWl was the scrambling for ownership of oil fields in the Middle East. The Germans were building a railway from Berlin to Istanbul and something had to be done to stop the German/Turkish coalition.

It might seem that a Turkish state was inevitable after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire but Attaturk really created a unique nation state out of the Muslim population of Asia minor and the Muslim refugees from the Balkans and Caucasus. It was not inevitable but a great feat of statesmanship unique in the middle East. Not even the ancient histories of Egypt and Iran could create such a strong nation state like he did with Turkey.

[@stephenchappell7512]

This interview is total non sense. I will point to several major historical mistakes this so called expert has made in this interview. 1- The British did not make Kuwait a British protectorate in 1899 because of oil, indeed oil was not discovered in Kuwait until 1938. Kuwait was made a British protectorate to prevent the Germans from using it as a terminus for the Berlin Baghdad railway. 2- World War I did not start because of oil and certainly not because Germany built a new modern navy, WWI was mostly a continental war and the only time the British and the French used their navies was when they attacked the Dardanelles and that campaign resulted in a humiliating defeat for the allies. 3- The most laughable thing I heard in this interview is that Russia was going to invade the northern part of Persia and Great Britain the southern part, the only problem with statement is that Russia and Britain divided Persia in 1907 as part of the Anglo-Russian Convention and Russia was already in control of the northern part of Persia and England was in control of the southern part, so why would England and Russia invade territories they already control?. The rest of this interview is so full of historical inconsistencies and errors that make me wonder what college awarded this fake professor a Doctorate degree?

Pedantic correction: the Gallipoli campaign used Australian and New Zealand forces as shock troops and they played a significant part in the Dardanelles campaign. Their numbers and losses were lower, however, than those of the British, French and Indian troops. This is not to say that the British generals had little regard for the ANZACs. It's probable they had as little or little more for their own troops and even less for the Indians. Secondly: who tf doesn’t like Australians?? 🤷‍♀️

Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation🙏Palestine is an area of ​​more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me.🙏🙏🙏القدس عربية

[@billfarley9167]

You forgot to mention the Zionists were purchasing Palestinian land for cash in the early 1900's. And the Palestinians were gladly selling to them because it was nothing but desert sand to the locals. Actually they thought it was amusing that the stupid Jews were buying nothing but sand. This was the beginning of the overall Zionist plan to reinstate the original land of Israel as promised by God. When all this purchased "sand" began to bloom because the Jews were cultivating/irrigating it, the Palestinians wanted it back. When The Balfour Declaration was activated the Jewish population in Palestine began to swell, more purchased land was cultivated and the area blossomed. After WWll and the Holocaust, thousands of Jews were struggling to get to the "promised land," supported both politically and monetarily by the Zionists. In 1947 the UN voted to create the State of Israel which made them a legal entity. And the fight has been ongoing ever since. I struggle to support the fact that Palestinian people were a separate entitly and have always lived in the region. My reading indicates these people were a conglomerate of folks who filtered into the region after the fall of Israel by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 BCE. Their claim that they've always been there is false. The Israelis simply want their land to represent the original land base promised and given to them by God. I have a probelm with that and hope the Israelis and Palestinians can find a suitable compromise. I'm not holding my breath.

Brit here. First, Gallipoli: the loss of Australian troops was a tragedy. Churchill was involved, trying to live up to his famous ancestor but half American. He expressed regrets for the losses, which included a Brigade from Sandringham. The Aussies were not somehow secondary. To ordinary Brits they were heroic, whilst Gallipoli was a mess. Most British Govts have a habit of prioritising the wealth of elite groups & just dealing with the population. There is a gap between the two, vastly aided by censored media after news about the foul-ups suffered by the Light Brigade went out undoctored. Really oddly (to me) Thatcher either reined this back or a hostile media determined to use its power. A tiny core % of the UK were behind the Iraq war, the media & the Govt misled the Public and off we went. (Same Fear tactics with Brexit). Count the News items about Gaza on main channels British news. The coverage lags behind cute pets. Britain is becoming a democracy in name only. Our history, I cannot change. We started to make progress with some apologies but that cooled. Immense wealth of a very small elite is content to see an SBS veteran in battle related difficulties was left homeless, sofa surfing and eating 3 times a wk from a food bank (he rationed 'to help families'). Being invaded is not the risk, a takeover happened whilst we were sleeping. Time to clean up our Democracy. Step 1: the Special Relationship with the US. Dream on. Apart from engineering the Cold War together at the end of WW2 (people were killed whilst the US & UK govts plotted US Post war dominance), the UK govt deludes itself. Our Govts are reduced to useful mugs. Worse, they know it.

He was already there while Napoleon invaded, he was part of Bashibozuk (irregular militia) after Napoleon left he became what we called ring leader (responsible around 200 soldiers) and he served under two mayors (hursit pasha and husrev pasha) for his success he was awarded to become mayor of egypt… his invasion of crete was an order from Sultan… (to get rid of Russian backed greeks) his march to anatolia was due to misaggrement, he wanted his son to become mayor of Damascus but court convinced sultan not to… he marched after his son is denied while Ottomans at war with Russia… Mehmed Ali Pasha in 1845 returned back to Istanbul and pledge fealty to Sultan again.
