Did The Arab Revolt Influence The Defeat Of The Ottoman Empire
To what extent was did the Arab revolt influence the defeat of the Ottoman Empire?

The defeat of the Ottoman Empire during World War one was due to a multitude of factors. Some argue that the Arab revolt was the cause of the defeat but arguments against that are plausible as well.

    The Islamic conquests of areas outside Arabia began in the seventh century. In the first wave of conquest, the Arabs took Syria, Egypt, and the Sasanid Empire. In the late seventh and early eighth centuries, Islamic forces took Tunisia, Spain, Algeria, Morocco, and Sind. Common explanations for the rapidity of the Muslim advance include lust for treasures and valuables, religious devotion, and the weakness of the foes of Islam. The most convincing explanation finds the causes of Muslim expansion in the talent of the Muslim leaders and the structure of Arab society. During the period of expansion the Arab forces were organized into regular, paid armies and kept in military camps and garrison towns so that they did not overrun the countryside. The Arab Muslims became minority rulers, thinly spread over non-Muslim societies that they dominated and taxed, but did not try to convert.…

    World War one took place between 1914 and 1918 in Europe. World War one resulted in the fall of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the Russian empire, and the German Government. The German government was overthrown and lost territory. At the end of the war maps of Europe and the Middle East were re-drawn. It is important to establish blame of who started the war to prevent war in the future. However, it is not ethical nor accurate to blame one county entirely, which is what happened to Germany. It is often assumed that Germany was entirely to blame for WWI, but Serbia, Russia, Austria Hungary, France, Great Britain, and Germany all contributed to the cause of WWI.…

    Compare and Contrast: Muslim Empires

    Between 1450 and 1750, three great Muslim empires arose—the Ottomans, the Safavids, and the Mughals. The Ottomans arose after the Seljuk Turkic kingdom of Rum in Eastern Anatolia collapsed, which occurred because of a Mongol invasion in 1243. The area fell into a chaotic period after that because the Mongols did not directly rule it. In search of riches, Turkic peoples, including the Ottomans who dominated the rest, flooded into the area. By the 1350s, the Ottomans were advancing from their Asia Minor strongholds. Under Mehmed I, they conquered a large part of the Balkans, and, in 1453, they captured Constantinople of the Byzantine Empire under Mehmed II, “The Conqueror,” thus establishing an empire from the Balkans that included most of the Arab world. Like the Ottomans, the Safavids arose from struggles of rival Turkish tribes. In the fourteenth century, there were decades of fierce struggles, until, finally, after three successive Safavid leaders died, a Sufi commander named Ismâ’il survived. He and his followers conquered the city of Tabriz in 1501, as well as most of Persia in the next decade. They then drove the Ozbegs, neighboring nomadic Turks, back to Central Asia and advanced to Iraq. Lastly, the Mughal Dynasty was founded by Babur, who descended from Turkic warriors. He first led an invasion of India in 1526 and conquered the Indus and Ganges plains. After Babur died of an illness, his son, Humayan, succeeded him and was attacked from enemies of all sides because of Babur’s death. He was expelled from India in 1540, but eventually restored Mughal rule by 1556. Humayan’s son, Akbar, would later succeed him and become the greatest ruler in Mughal history. The Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals constructed significant empires, but each adopted different ways of treating their conquered people and developed diverse methods for managing social, political, and economic systems.…

    “WWI was a Balkan war that got out of control.” is this an adequate assessment of the events in 1914? Explain your answer.

    World War I was an accident which was caused by bad decision-making by leaders of Great Powers. Kaiser Wilhelm II gave Austria-Hungary Germany’s unconditional support in destroying Serbia. This upset the Balance of Power among the Great Powers and threatened to undermine the influence of Russia if Serbia were to be wrecked in the localized war. This forced Russia to mobilize its troops, effectively dragging another Great Power and its allies into the conflict. Besides, it…

    What Is Nasser's Response To British Imperialism

    When Lawrence of Arabia and the British convinced Abdullah to lead the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire—to ensure that the Ottomans would not take back Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries that they had colonized—they sparked a nationalist disposition in Abdullah. After the Great Arab Revolt agains the Ottomans subsided, Abdullah was offered the kingship of Iraq, but he declined and became the leader of Transjordan. Contrary to the situation in Egypt, the British presence in Transjordan was not as prominent. However, the British still prevented Abdullah from having full control over his nation. As the leader of Transjordan, Abdullah set out to eliminate the archaic tribal governmental system, and create a westernized constitutional monarchy, drafting a constitution and electing a parliament.…

    Essay On The Ottoman Empire

    The Ottoman Empire is the Turkish and Islamic state that ruled from 1299-1922. It is one of the most important and powerful Muslim Empires. The founder of the Ottoman Empire is Osman I. At first it was only a tribe and consisted of little followers but in a very short time it grew into being an Empire. Great architectural, military, and administrative accomplishments have taken place in the Ottoman Empire. The reason that this was such an powerful and long lasting Empire was because of the Sultan was not the only one ruling and not the only one making decisions. The Empire was not run by the personal choices and wants of the Sultan. The Ottoman Sultans were greatly affected by the institutions that surrounded them. Some of them being the wazirs, qadis, Shaykh al-Islam, janissaries and the women of the harem. The Sultan was of course at the top of the hierarchy but he made decisions n accordance with the approval of…

    What Role Did Islam Plays In The Arab Spring?

    There are many factors that resulted in the Arab Spring. These factors were political, socio-economic, religious and cultural in nature. Islam as a religion provided the common belief and ideology that catapulted the spring. The belief in the people’s hearts based on Islamic principles facilitated the mobilization for the protests. Islam as a religion played the role of mobilization, allowed the use of mosques and provided the message that was used in the Arab Spring. Islamic ideologies informed the message that was used in the protests. The language used in the protest were based on the Quran. Islam provided the mosques which were used as recruitment and crowd gathering centers. The leaders of the religion and the organizers of the protests worked in collaboration to provide the necessary organization and leadership to the Islamic movements. In Egypt and Tunisia, the religious leaders were supportive of the protests. In Syria on the other hand, the religious leaders were reluctant to support the revolts. They condemned the protests and stood in support of the government of the day. The religious leaders feared that had they taken a stand against the government it would boomerang on them (Esposito, 2015: Syria,…
