Indlæser... Eden to Armageddon: World War I in the Middle Eastaf Roger Ford
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.   ) Lewis.Noles | Mar 23, 2024 |  The narrative flows clearly to explain complex alliances and military events. It is guaranteed to break open the doors of your preconceived knowledge of this period. It is strangely a harbinger of many front pages of today's newspapers and blogs: The internal divisions and coup d'Etat of the Turkish military before August 1918. The role of oil - then the Anglo Persian oil. The role of navies - the dreadnoughts Turkey had ordered to England and which Churchill never delivered; A German Admiral and his crew incorporated in the Turkish Navy after a last minute alliance between Turkey and Germany bombing the Aegan See harbours and controlling the Black Sea from the Russians,,,and of course Palestine and its quarter of a century old (in 1915) Jewish settlements like Nes Ziyona.

Turkey, the First World War and the making of the Middle East. The Great War in the Middle East began with the invasion of the Garden of Eden, and ended with a momentous victory on the site of the biblical Armageddon. Almost incredibly, the whole story of this epic war has never been told in a single volume until now. In this important new history Roger Ford describes a conflict in its entirety: the war in Mesopotamia, which would end with the creation of the countries of Iran and Iraq; the desperate struggle in the Caucasus, where the Turks had long-standing territorial ambitions; the doomed attacks on the Gallipoli Peninsula that would lead to ignominous defeat; and the final act in Palestine, where the Ottoman Empire finally crumbled. He ends with a detailed description of the messy aftermath of the war, and the new conflicts in a reshaped Middle East that would play such a huge part in shaping world affairs for many generations to come.
