Dividing the Middle East - The Arab Revolt - Extra History - #2

Thanks to our Patrons for selecting this topic! Want to choose what subject we cover next? Join us on Patreon and vote on topics for EH! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon The Allies thought that defeating the Ottoman Empire would be an extremely simple matter but it was, in fact, not simple (this will be a reoccurring theme for the allies). As they try to take Constantinople, the surf will turn red with the amount of blood spilled from the landing parties. Luckily, they're about to get a boost from the internal strife of the Ottoman Empire. So long as the British promise to help establish an Arab kingdom. A promise they definitely intend to keep.

Can we expect any References to the Peter O'Toole Lawrence of Arabia film in this series?

There's a story about Peter O'Toole that goes, one day he was out with a friend while a bit drunk, and they were wondering what to do so O'Toole said, "let's go and see a play." So they went to a theatre and, about halfway through the play O'Toole nudged his friend and said, "this is brilliant ~ this is the bit where I come on...oh, b*****ks!"

Youtube just changed around their back end so our usual publishing tool isn't working. Don't know why that made the video private though... Time to consult the internet wizard, we'll fix it asap! - A
