It was only a matter of time, the story goes, before the so-called Sick Man of Europe succumbed to its ailments\u2014incompetent management, nationalism, and ethnic and religious conflict. In\u00a0<i>The War That Made the Middle East<\/i>, Mustafa Aksakal overturns this conventional narrative.<\/p>\n<p><i>The War That Made the Middle East\u00a0<\/i>shows that, until 1914, the Ottoman Empire was a viable multiethnic, multireligious state, and that relations between the Arabs, Jews, Muslims, and Christians of Palestine were relatively stable. When war broke out, the Ottoman government sought an alliance with the Entente but was rejected because of British and French designs on the Eastern Mediterranean. After the Ottomans entered the fight on the side of Germany and were defeated, Britain and France seized Ottoman lands and new national elites in former Ottoman territories claimed their own states. The region was renamed &#8220;the Middle East,&#8221; erasing a robust and modernizing 600-year-old empire.<\/p>\n<p>A sweeping narrative of war, great power politics, and ordinary people caught up in the devastation,\u00a0<i>The War That Made the Middle East<\/i>\u00a0offers new insights about the Great War and its profound and lasting consequences.<\/p>\n<h3>The War That Made the Middle East<\/h3>\n<p>World War I and the End of the Ottoman Empire<br \/>\nBy: Mustafa Aksakal<br \/>\nNarrated by: Neil Shah<br \/>\nLength: 7 hrs and 44 mins<br \/>\nRelease date: 01-13-26<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nFormat and Bitrate: MP3@64 kbps<br \/>\nSize: 212.79 MB<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rapidgator.net\/file\/ff7360cfa37d307ad26d87f4fde28598\/The_War_That_Made_The_Middle_East_A.mp3.html\"><strong>Download from RapidGator<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfam.io\/99aae00ec361\"><strong>Download from CloudFam<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ottoman Empire&#8217;s collapse at the end of the First World War is often treated as a foregone conclusion.
