What Is The Arab Revolt Of World War I?
The Arab Revolt of World War I can be said to be a key battle in the Arab world, with reinforcement from the West. The key countries that were involved with the Revolt included the Kingdom of Hejaz, Britain, France and the Ottoman Empire (Lecture on Bahrain and Syria). The Ottoman Empire had assumed authority over most of the Middle East, and their government was mostly dominated by Turkish officials. The Arab population within the Ottoman Empire wanted to create an independent Arab state without any ties to the Ottoman Empire. The United Kingdom and France stated that they would provide support to Sharif Hussein of Mecca and Medina in creating an Arab state if they were to revolt against the Ottoman Empire. This was known as the McMahon-Hussein

Leaving the colonists in charge of themselves, and not effectively enforcing many British laws. Thousands of miles of ocean between the two countries also made it difficult to keep track of day to day events. This changed though in 1754 when the seven years’ war started.…

    On the 27th of February 1917, Nicholas II received a telegraph. Rodzianko, the President of the Duma, was trying to urge him into action, stating “any procrastination is fatal”, the situation was moving into “a state of anarchy” and “the government is paralysed”. The grave circumstances included a break-down in the transportation system and the supply of necessities, fuel and food. Sporadic firing plagued the streets. The next day, the Czar abdicated. Thus the February revolution characterizes Russian history, as it provoked the Czarist demise. Several historians rely on the ‘optimist’ view alleging the October Manifesto had set Russia on the course of political modernisation and Russian agriculture and industry were also modernising meaning WWI was the spark that ignited the 1917 revolution. The ‘pessimist’ notion entails the theory that there were abundant contributory elements, and Czarism was doomed despite the October Manifesto and Stolypin’s agricultural reforms.…

    World War I started in 1914, Europe due to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Why did this happen exactly?

Another factor that has lead towards the start of World War I, is the Industrial Revolution.…
