@@UnholyWrath3277 History as a subject in the west is under taught in general, although I think this is equally a result of young people struggling to relate to the past, and there is a lot of history to learn. Too much really, alongside the other important subjects. I hated history in school, but have developed an interest in it as I got older. Modern academic historians in the west (and elsewhere) take a fairly scientific approach to history, in that much of it is consensus, based on the best evidence, with peer review. Obviously there are limits to this, meaning history still has more conjecture and dispute than most scientific subjects, but my point is our historical understanding comes from a good faith desire to understand what really happened. TH-cam is actually my main source of historical information these days, and most of the documentaries I watch seem well researched and balanced, in that they don't shy away from showing the failings of our past. This video being a good example. Critical thinkers from any nation will know that there are always two or more sides to a story. Extreme patriotism is a barrier to this though.

@@secretname4190 I disagree. This is what he left out from a middle eastern. This is not my real name. The British and French aided a Arab fellow and said to him “If you help us defeat the ottomans we will allow you to unite Arabia”. They lied and later on the House of Saud killed that Arab fellow and took what the British and French left over. The Saudis belive In whabbism a radical radical view on Islam. The Iranians are the moderates, but they get blamed for everything. Osma bin laden is from Saudi Arabia, Isis is whabbi. Shias and Sunnis got a long fine with each other for a long time before, there were wars, but not too much. Espically under the ottomans the Shia and Sunnis were fine with one another(considering 800 year rule, there were incidents) Attaturk the founder of the Turkish nation was a Shia Muslim leading a Sunni majority country and the Turks love him till this day. The U.S is the main problem. It bombs counties in defense of Israel, sounds ridiculous but true. They killed 1 million people in Iraq over a lie, it has been 19 years and we still haven't found those weapons of mass destruction. They killed Saddam yet the U.S funded Iraq when it was gassing Iranians during the iran-iraq war, then it invades them for WMD. And they are also against Assad because he is against Iseral. For instance, the U.S bombed Assad over use of chemical weapons, however Assad Chllanged them and went to the U.N and said come to Syria and investigate for yourself. However, the U.S bombed him anyway before a U.N investigation took place. The U.S ally is Iseral and everybody hates Iseral that’s the main problem. The Sunni-Shia fights kicked off due to the Saudis, espically when they destroyed imams graves, which is like destroying the grave of Jesus if There was one. The Iranians asked for peace, but no. Then Saudi excuted a Shia and then they cut diplomatic relations. On top of that let’s look at Afghanistan. The U.S funded Al Queada and the taliban to fight the Soviet Union when it invaded. It was called the “mujahideen”, which means freedom fighters, so the U.S funded people it did not know. They funded and aided Saudi Arabia, and Osma is from Saudi Arabia, 15/19 hijakers were from Saudi Arabia. The problem in the Middle East is: U.S supports Iseral and every one hates Iseral. Saudis are radicals, yet they are still being funded by the U.S. the U.S never takes responsibility and blames Iran for everything. Iran is actual very moderate (for Middle Eastern standards) and has a lot of Jews, but the U.S still calls it terrorist because it's easier to throw the blame on iran. Have you guys every heard of the U.S downing an Iranian passage plane killing 260 civilians?. Nobody mentions that incident, (you can easily look it up for more info). The commander of the ship, that shot down the jet came back to a military parade. The U.S called it an honest accident. However, when Iran did the same thing, it was intentional, and it showed how bad the government was. If Iran makes simple mistake, it is considered intentional, it was just some random dude, who fired the rocket, yet the whole government gets blamed. They should pay compensation of course, but it’s not like the whole government should be judged by one persons actions. What scares me, is that NOBODY knows that the U.S shot down an Iranian civilian plane. Like nobody. It’s not even in the history books.
@Galactic Tech Creator my apologies it is APIAC not APAC. That’s the Iserali funded lobbyist group. I mean they are doing this in plain sight. All of this sounds a bit far fetched, but look up APIAC and you will see Republican talking about Iseral. It’s APIAC that funds their campaigns in return they support Iseral.
OK, draw the borders according to language and cult affiliation. But then what about the inevitable war for control of all of it? Imaginary lines aren’t the problem, the primitive superstitions are.
Nah, it's more like putting people who don't like each other in the same group, so that the group will do nothing. But all the people there are perfectly able of redrawing the borders as they see fit. They just don't because power play is more important than helping their people.

Countries in the Middle East today are not unstable simply because of colonial map making or because of religious or ethno-linguistic diversity. With a few exceptions (Israel-Palestine is unique in many ways), instability has to do with the dynamics of state-building and changes in political economy over the decades. Pointing at WW1 as a means to explain today's issues in the region in their totality effectively ignores decades of history, and the notion that cultural diversity leads to instability is not necessarily true, as we can see in other regions. The origin of the war in Syria is not sectarian, for example. People mobilize around ethno and religious identities to address and tackle the issues, but it isn't the issue in itself. It had to do with major changes in the state's distributive capacities, state and private investment in nonproductive economic endeavors since the late 1980s, and a failure to meet the challenges of a massive drought and resulting migration of over a million people from the countryside into the major cities in the early 2000s. "Redrawing" the map would do little to nothing to bring peace and stability because it wouldn't address the actual material issues driving sectarianism and social-political instability.
@@charleybarley7148 But countries without such serious ethnic tensions also suffer from economic and political issues (is any country spared of it at this point? I doubt so...), the difference is that those conflicts don't tend to devolve into bloody affairs or outright civil wars that may span years or even decades of political instability.
@Dark Creature in a Dark Room The idea that the problem is just borders is to ignore decades of history. It is nonsensical also because it is an argument that just goes from A to F with no intermediately variables or explanation. It is an analysis anchored in fate, which doesn't make sense. Having a multiethnic society or "artificial bordere" does not automatically condemn you to violence. There are other elements at play, from the dynamics of political economy to the failure to institutionalize a coherent and inclusive nationalist narrative.
@@charleybarley7148 and how on Earth are you supposed to establish a "coherent and inclusive nationalist narrative" when your country is made up of people who share no common cultural or religious background or even language, or share very little, or even hate each other, or have hated each other for the last couple thousand years? True, "redrawing borders" isn't going to solve the socioeconomic problems a society has, but it could help prevent tensions between groups that scapegoat each other or are oppressed by other groups, or are used by foreign powers as a means to gain power in the country, etc. That's the whole point. Of course it's a moot point nowadays that there are so many factors at play (oil reserves, geographic advantages, maritime access, not to mention foreign pressure, etc), so it will probably never be more than just speculation.
@Dark Creature in a Dark Room Youre missing my overall point for a red herring, you see that? But OK, well, there are plenty of.multiethnic countries that have been able to create a unifying narrative with varying degrees of success (like Canada). But again, as I stated, multiethnic societies are not fated to come apart. That is fatalistic nonsense that ignores history and all of the variables that come together (or dont) to establish a functioning multiethnic society.

I would just like to point out that the Ottomans' decision to side with Germany wasn't "foolish." Winston Churchill, along with naval admirals and others in the British government, had already decided to invade because they knew they needed to convert from coal to oil. The Ottomans _tried_ to stay out of the war, and in fact had tried to form relationships with Britain and France, but these were rejected. Not only that, but at the end of July 1914, Churchill barred Turks from boarding two of their dreadnoughts being worked on in British shipyards (the Reshadieh and Sultan Osman). At the beginning of August, the Ottomans found out that Britain had basically stolen their ships. Since Germany was the one European power that actually had a working relationship with the Ottomans, they sided with them. There is of course more to it than that (lots of shenanigans by the Young Turks and the military leadership, hopes that Germany would protect them from an invasion, etc) but to say they "foolishly" sided with Germany is oversimplifying things.
People totally forget how big of a deal Dreadnoughts were back then, and just stealing them was a huge diplomatic affront. Also, Britain was meddling in Arabia. They had ports there, iirc they supported some precursor of Saudi Arabia.
So let me get this straight. We acknowledge that having different ethnicities, cultures, and religions in a same country causes major trouble in the Middle East, while simultaneously we are supposed to cheer diversity and multiculturalism in the West? Seems like a double standard to me.
yeah i had the same thought, with this logic a country like India should not exist where there are 28 states , each having their own language, also different ethnic groups.
@@PK-tt5kk The strength of a nation is measured during its difficult times, not during its good times. Once India's economic growth ends, we will see whether it is genuinely a sustainable country, or whether it is simply a relationship of convenience.
Yeah, it's easy to celebrate diversity and to tolerate others when they are not near. Statistically, most of the successful and stable countries in europe are the homogenous ones (ethnicity-wise). Edit: It's not that I'm against diversity. It's more about the fact that a group must have an agreed upon shared "story" to make it a group. It so happens that ethnicity supplies a very good communual "story" (but it doesn't have to be the "story" for each group).
that was probably a long time ago, I d say britain, france and any other europe country that colonizes these countries are the the ones to blame. But Britain is to blamed mainly solely because it used to be a Empire and essentially can do anything they want. Also look at the pakistan-india situation the british was there too!

In addition during those post-WW2 "Pan-Arab" years Hafez Assad and the then prez. of Iraq had wanted to join their countries. (When this happend, Saddam Hussein made a coup and took over Iraq)
Very well made video. As a Syrian I would like correct that there is a simple way of how we connect and see ourselves: Simply draw a line from Aleppo to Amman. now everything west of that line we have much more in common in terms of dilect, geography, and culture than east of that line. at the end we do not want to re-draw borders. we just want to get rid of borders.

In high school history, I learnt that the British brought slaves over from different tribes in Africa who all spoke different languages and deliberately split them up to different plantations in Jamaica so that they could not communicate with each other and could not see any people they knew from their own tribe, effectively cutting off any chance for the slaves to rebel or escape together. I thought that was devious. It looks like it’s just another old tactic in their handbook.

Lawrence wonted to create one great nation/parlement for the Arabian people. He felt very betrayed when England and France went against their word and divided the middle east between them. Another british officer who was very active in the region (can't remember his name), had a famous quote doing WWI about how foolish it is to "sell a donkey twice".

But I highly doubt that would happen as people from Lancaster, Carlisle and Newcastle are English and would want to be apart of England and not Scotland. That would cause a lot of trouble. The borders would be split how they are now with England, Scotland, and Wales subdivisions in the United Kingdom. They are old borders from the medieval times, and have cultural differences on either side so changing them now would be asking for trouble, especially with the people that get moved to another country they don’t identify themselves with. Northern Ireland would most likely join back up with the Republic of Ireland as they already have open borders and are free to hold a vote to join back into the republic whenever they want under UK. Not sure who exactly would initiate the the question of holding a vote but I assume a lot of noise on social media and a few protests with a couple MPs asking would be more than enough.

You said "The Treaty of Sevres was signed by Turkey", but that's incorrect. Ottoman Empire signed it, Anatolian Turks led by Atatürk rebelled against it and started the War of Independence. Had to fix that.

@guy man It is well known amongst Muslims and Arabs in particular that the Ottomans scarcely invested in developing that part of their territory But I guess I was talking more about the geopolitical side of it. It was more stable than the poopfest the Middle East has been in for the past 100 years+ now
@guy man A powerful Arab-semitic superstate that was initially promised by the British when the Arabs allied with them is far, far better than Europeans carving up the land The entire Arabian plate was supposed to be one country.
@guy man Honestly what the heck are you even talking about here. I’m not even a Saudi or a Saudi propagandist. I’m speaking facts here. The Ottomans didn’t do that well developing the region. The Arabs rebelled (they betrayed the Ummah essentially) and the Brits betrayed them, unsurprisingly. This is just the course of action that occurred. It’s resulted in the conflicts we have seen for the past 100 years.
I feel like the borders could have been drawn better but I honesly don't know if it's entirely the UK and France's fault. those people have lived together under the Ottoman Empire all those years. Also, multiethnic empires are common back in the day. I feel like the UK and France would have to be really smart and see like decades ahead to intentionally destabilize the region - and that might be giving them too much credit.

wow, the first time I see something educational from somebody in the West that is actually so accurate and honest about the Middle East. Well done!
Your average people in the west are under educated on the subject but never trust our medias view on things. They are bought propaganda machines made to get the narrative they wanna push across. Very few of the average people in the west actually view the middle east as lowly as we are portrayed to
@@UnholyWrath3277 History as a subject in the west is under taught in general, although I think this is equally a result of young people struggling to relate to the past, and there is a lot of history to learn. Too much really, alongside the other important subjects. I hated history in school, but have developed an interest in it as I got older. Modern academic historians in the west (and elsewhere) take a fairly scientific approach to history, in that much of it is consensus, based on the best evidence, with peer review. Obviously there are limits to this, meaning history still has more conjecture and dispute than most scientific subjects, but my point is our historical understanding comes from a good faith desire to understand what really happened.
TH-cam is actually my main source of historical information these days, and most of the documentaries I watch seem well researched and balanced, in that they don't shy away from showing the failings of our past. This video being a good example. Critical thinkers from any nation will know that there are always two or more sides to a story. Extreme patriotism is a barrier to this though.

@@secretname4190 I disagree. This is what he left out from a middle eastern. This is not my real name. The British and French aided a Arab fellow and said to him “If you help us defeat the ottomans we will allow you to unite Arabia”. They lied and later on the House of Saud killed that Arab fellow and took what the British and French left over. The Saudis belive In whabbism a radical radical view on Islam. The Iranians are the moderates, but they get blamed for everything. Osma bin laden is from Saudi Arabia, Isis is whabbi. Shias and Sunnis got a long fine with each other for a long time before, there were wars, but not too much. Espically under the ottomans the Shia and Sunnis were fine with one another(considering 800 year rule, there were incidents) Attaturk the founder of the Turkish nation was a Shia Muslim leading a Sunni majority country and the Turks love him till this day. The U.S is the main problem. It bombs counties in defense of Israel, sounds ridiculous but true. They killed 1 million people in Iraq over a lie, it has been 19 years and we still haven't found those weapons of mass destruction. They killed Saddam yet the U.S funded Iraq when it was gassing Iranians during the iran-iraq war, then it invades them for WMD.
And they are also against Assad because he is against Iseral. For instance, the U.S bombed Assad over use of chemical weapons, however Assad Chllanged them and went to the U.N and said come to Syria and investigate for yourself. However, the U.S bombed him anyway before a U.N investigation took place. The U.S ally is Iseral and everybody hates Iseral that’s the main problem. The Sunni-Shia fights kicked off due to the Saudis, espically when they destroyed imams graves, which is like destroying the grave of Jesus if There was one. The Iranians asked for peace, but no. Then Saudi excuted a Shia and then they cut diplomatic relations.
On top of that let’s look at Afghanistan. The U.S funded Al Queada and the taliban to fight the Soviet Union when it invaded. It was called the “mujahideen”, which means freedom fighters, so the U.S funded people it did not know. They funded and aided Saudi Arabia, and Osma is from Saudi Arabia, 15/19 hijakers were from Saudi Arabia.
The problem in the Middle East is: U.S supports Iseral and every one hates Iseral. Saudis are radicals, yet they are still being funded by the U.S. the U.S never takes responsibility and blames Iran for everything. Iran is actual very moderate (for Middle Eastern standards) and has a lot of Jews, but the U.S still calls it terrorist because it's easier to throw the blame on iran. Have you guys every heard of the U.S downing an Iranian passage plane killing 260 civilians?. Nobody mentions that incident, (you can easily look it up for more info). The commander of the ship, that shot down the jet came back to a military parade. The U.S called it an honest accident. However, when Iran did the same thing, it was intentional, and it showed how bad the government was. If Iran makes simple mistake, it is considered intentional, it was just some random dude, who fired the rocket, yet the whole government gets blamed. They should pay compensation of course, but it’s not like the whole government should be judged by one persons actions. What scares me, is that NOBODY knows that the U.S shot down an Iranian civilian plane. Like nobody. It’s not even in the history books.
@Galactic Tech Creator my apologies it is APIAC not APAC. That’s the Iserali funded lobbyist group. I mean they are doing this in plain sight. All of this sounds a bit far fetched, but look up APIAC and you will see Republican talking about Iseral. It’s APIAC that funds their campaigns in return they support Iseral.
Britain did the literal geopolitical equivalent of farting in an elevator as they were stepping off the elevator

as a middle eastern who is interested in geopolitics , this is by far the most accurate explanation why is the middle east is so violent and divided, the borders were designed to cripple the middle east and keep it under control ... thank you
Countries in the Middle East today are not unstable simply because of colonial map making or because of religious or ethno-linguistic diversity. With a few exceptions (Israel-Palestine is unique in many ways), instability has to do with the dynamics of state-building and changes in political economy over the decades. Pointing at WW1 as a means to explain today's issues in the region in their totality effectively ignores decades of history, and the notion that cultural diversity leads to instability is not necessarily true, as we can see in other regions.
The origin of the war in Syria is not sectarian, for example. People mobilize around ethno and religious identities to address and tackle the issues, but it isn't the issue in itself. It had to do with major changes in the state's distributive capacities, state and private investment in nonproductive economic endeavors since the late 1980s, and a failure to meet the challenges of a massive drought and resulting migration of over a million people from the countryside into the major cities in the early 2000s.
"Redrawing" the map would do little to nothing to bring peace and stability because it wouldn't address the actual material issues driving sectarianism and social-political instability.
@@charleybarley7148 But countries without such serious ethnic tensions also suffer from economic and political issues (is any country spared of it at this point? I doubt so...), the difference is that those conflicts don't tend to devolve into bloody affairs or outright civil wars that may span years or even decades of political instability.
@Dark Creature in a Dark Room The idea that the problem is just borders is to ignore decades of history. It is nonsensical also because it is an argument that just goes from A to F with no intermediately variables or explanation. It is an analysis anchored in fate, which doesn't make sense. Having a multiethnic society or "artificial bordere" does not automatically condemn you to violence. There are other elements at play, from the dynamics of political economy to the failure to institutionalize a coherent and inclusive nationalist narrative.
@@charleybarley7148 and how on Earth are you supposed to establish a "coherent and inclusive nationalist narrative" when your country is made up of people who share no common cultural or religious background or even language, or share very little, or even hate each other, or have hated each other for the last couple thousand years? True, "redrawing borders" isn't going to solve the socioeconomic problems a society has, but it could help prevent tensions between groups that scapegoat each other or are oppressed by other groups, or are used by foreign powers as a means to gain power in the country, etc. That's the whole point. Of course it's a moot point nowadays that there are so many factors at play (oil reserves, geographic advantages, maritime access, not to mention foreign pressure, etc), so it will probably never be more than just speculation.
@Dark Creature in a Dark Room Youre missing my overall point for a red herring, you see that? But OK, well, there are plenty of.multiethnic countries that have been able to create a unifying narrative with varying degrees of success (like Canada). But again, as I stated, multiethnic societies are not fated to come apart. That is fatalistic nonsense that ignores history and all of the variables that come together (or dont) to establish a functioning multiethnic society.

I would just like to point out that the Ottomans' decision to side with Germany wasn't "foolish." Winston Churchill, along with naval admirals and others in the British government, had already decided to invade because they knew they needed to convert from coal to oil. The Ottomans _tried_ to stay out of the war, and in fact had tried to form relationships with Britain and France, but these were rejected. Not only that, but at the end of July 1914, Churchill barred Turks from boarding two of their dreadnoughts being worked on in British shipyards (the Reshadieh and Sultan Osman).
At the beginning of August, the Ottomans found out that Britain had basically stolen their ships. Since Germany was the one European power that actually had a working relationship with the Ottomans, they sided with them. There is of course more to it than that (lots of shenanigans by the Young Turks and the military leadership, hopes that Germany would protect them from an invasion, etc) but to say they "foolishly" sided with Germany is oversimplifying things.
People totally forget how big of a deal Dreadnoughts were back then, and just stealing them was a huge diplomatic affront.
Also, Britain was meddling in Arabia. They had ports there, iirc they supported some precursor of Saudi Arabia.

I recall reading an article some years back about T.E. Lawrence (aka "Lawrence of Arabia") having drawn much better borders along ethnic lines, but his input was ignored in the landgrab. 😒
Lawrence wonted to create one great nation/parlement for the Arabian people.
He felt very betrayed when England and France went against their word and divided the middle east between them.
Another british officer who was very active in the region (can't remember his name), had a famous quote doing WWI about how foolish it is to "sell a donkey twice".
The great irony is of course that he still believed Britain and France was actually going to get rid "the donkey" after having sold it twice.

Lancaster? More likely would be like Newcastle and Carlisle and the surrounding city’s and villages. But I highly doubt that would happen as people from Lancaster, Carlisle and Newcastle are English and would want to be apart of England and not Scotland. That would cause a lot of trouble. The borders would be split how they are now with England, Scotland, and Wales subdivisions in the United Kingdom. They are old borders from the medieval times, and have cultural differences on either side so changing them now would be asking for trouble, especially with the people that get moved to another country they don’t identify themselves with. Northern Ireland would most likely join back up with the Republic of Ireland as they already have open borders and are free to hold a vote to join back into the republic whenever they want under UK. Not sure who exactly would initiate the the question of holding a vote but I assume a lot of noise on social media and a few protests with a couple MPs asking would be more than enough.

Excellent video, I work and travel in the Middle East and have met some truly amazing people there. The region is no more warlike than Europe has been for centuries and yes, the way the British Government (and French) governments created these borders has led to much conflict. Thank you for this, I’m going to take a look at Nebula .
You have to also remember WW2 was started because the same territory borders Britain and France created for Germany during Treaty of Versailles. Conflict over the German majority state Danzig led to German/Polish war which led to WW2.
@guy man No because the entire region was virtually under Ottoman sovereignty and it was very stable for most of the time. It carried the banner of the Islamic caliphate for a time after all, so the homogeny is strong. Things started going south when they became very weak and arab nationalism was on the rise.
@guy man It is well known amongst Muslims and Arabs in particular that the Ottomans scarcely invested in developing that part of their territory
But I guess I was talking more about the geopolitical side of it. It was more stable than the poopfest the Middle East has been in for the past 100 years+ now
@guy man A powerful Arab-semitic superstate that was initially promised by the British when the Arabs allied with them is far, far better than Europeans carving up the land
The entire Arabian plate was supposed to be one country.
@guy man Honestly what the heck are you even talking about here.
I’m not even a Saudi or a Saudi propagandist. I’m speaking facts here. The Ottomans didn’t do that well developing the region. The Arabs rebelled (they betrayed the Ummah essentially) and the Brits betrayed them, unsurprisingly. This is just the course of action that occurred. It’s resulted in the conflicts we have seen for the past 100 years.
I feel like the borders could have been drawn better but I honesly don't know if it's entirely the UK and France's fault. those people have lived together under the Ottoman Empire all those years. Also, multiethnic empires are common back in the day. I feel like the UK and France would have to be really smart and see like decades ahead to intentionally destabilize the region - and that might be giving them too much credit.
