Do stay with us coming up al jazeera looks at the secret deal between the british and french that carved out the middle east in the early one nine hundred sixty code lines in the sand is next more news after that in about twenty five minutes ill see that. In late one thousand nine hundred fifteen world war one was being fought in the trenches of mainland europe. Britain france and russia were allied against the central powers of germany austriahungary and the ottoman for. The war in europe west tag meeting but britain urgently needed a strategy as to how to divide the Ottoman Empire with france should the allies be victorious. The Prime Minister turned to a young british politician called sir mark sykes who had cast himself as the governments advisor on the middle east. The Ottoman Empire is assailed by misfortune crippled by mary advices and the prey of alien greed ambition and timidity. Englishman may have ideas but they are unable to take any steps to overturn the regime and free the peoples interests power. By the third of january nineteenth sixteen he and the french lawyer turned diplomat. Would have negotiated the terms of a secret agreement. In two words i foresee a protectorate. Which uses the local traditions and customs to establish different regimes in the four provinces or sooner. They want. To becca and serving as a model of what is necessary to achieve indigenous elements in. School and get. These two men devise the plan that would not only divide the spoils of the declining autumn an empire between the two european powers but would draw lines in the sand that would ultimately influence the shape of the middle east for the next century. Istanbul capital of an Ottoman Empire that had stood for six centuries. It spans the three continents of asia africa and europe. Its peak had been in the sixteenth century. Than the other says russia. And dr yossi moores quarter there was the how well. The barrack from. That was perhaps the. Many fee. But a funny on. The side. Of the kind of thing. As he met with many. But that there was. A sin i dont know their money or land took on a dollar a sin i can that there were a year to jobs. And. The.

Base of a neck and have thought of those men you can mckenna its a war like him has a delusion and i could convey your could be a fuse or that island. With many of. The autumn an empire began receding in the nineteenth century. In eight hundred thirty it lost algeria to france while egypt gradually came under british rule which then expanded into the arabian peninsula. The arabs of mesopotamia greater syria and the hampshire remains part of the Ottoman Empire which was undergoing its own changes. Kind of person i shall bear that and how does. That. Or will you measure. At the root of many. Lists well but as erlich fee. Measures a third me when im a silly. Moderate middle i live a lot of b. I lucked out a lot on. Mostly million. In one thousand or eight the committee of union and progress the young turks overthrew did have meet the second and restored the eight hundred seventy six constitution. This reduced tension at the top of ottoman politics but also created in thyatira among arab groups in the empire and let her the in much more of a new dictatorial. The more. Likely. Nor can the home. And who knows i would call me to a. Paid them is headed of god but the only. Sure. Thing and so far a. Recent carefully and remember the. So far i think. There would be more i met your member it does because it would have. Been the lead. Towards right at reeky and no. More american law to be you. Know i do work have you who are americas by nineteen fourteen you could really say that for those arabs who are engaged in identity politics what they aspired to was a better deal for the arabs within the art of the. This brand of politics is known as arab ism and arab ist were really thinking in terms of imitating the austriahungary empire with a kind of arab turkish dual monarchy and the Ottoman Empire but were very concerned not to exit the audubon umbrella for fear that where the arabs edited make a bid for independence they would be immediately at risk of european. The ottomans suffered a major defeat in nineteen i dance a little here priests serbia and montenegro in the first balkan born. To be in territory but the defeat did initially ease the relationship between the arabs of the Ottoman Empire and the young turks governments. Able to focus. On the bill and if there actually would be a harbor well there were many years and i suppose. I would have it. When we. Went to faff im also at the end of that is how it was at the what the rethought. Reckon. Food for thought for the i mean what do you mean. I the thought of. The First World War started at the end of july nineteenth fourteen. Britain france and russia the central scholars to germany austria hungary and bulgaria. Shortly after the ottomans opted to supports germany. The killer of many of the things i was and who work at it in general but a funny. Little shit when i came. Home and there was suffering from a while but enough on how to see article not thought of it with many thought of show you. Are liberal did the. National heart of. Political. Who are you starlet. I look at remove. My knee i mean. To be a highly. Mean mean. Politically really thought that i thought were legit or i must be really really really brilliant or see youre going to doggy into luckily my mother took. Me in the circular buffer to libya that im a poet so they were all put. In ruth doleman head of a says he did and we had death well. One of the robber had there that you let me up and method to look lobo ghana to read woman who wore in ghana auburn the bush forty one with death moved down the hall and we had death. In february one thousand nine hundred fifteen frustrated by the stagnating war in europe the british open to an Eastern Front against the ottomans on the dardanelles strait they imagined the ottoman army as weak and easier to defeat as the way of taking on germany and ending the war. Russia however was more concerned about its use of ottoman water which so the russians asked britain and france to find an agreement to guarantee their own share of the spoils after the war. The russians were keen to seize more as Cultural Capital as a sort of restoration of orthodox christianity after. Five centuries of ottoman rule and so with the outbreak of the First World War on the eve of the could literally invasion the russians wanted to secure their allies commitment to granting istanbul and the straits to the russian empire and this becomes a exchange of documents known as the constantinople agreement concluded between march and april one nine hundred fifty. Britain france and russia entered into the constantinople agreement which granted the russians certain ottoman territories and waterways. However this agreement the way for another secret deal as london and paris started to plot exactly what they wanted from a region thats was gaining strategic significance in the coming age of oil. You could really say that britain and to the war without any clear territorial ambitions in their territory they could not at this stage of the cost actually open agreement identify one place that they wish to add to their empire but they reserve the right to do so as soon as they worked out what their priorities were and so in a sense the constantinople agreement really is the first of the wartime partition agreements that will begin to shape the way in which the arab provinces will be carved up primarily between britain and france since russias interest lay mostly in turkish territories so in very British Fashion the british created a committee called the debunks and committee and its remit was to look in. The sort of the options for britain so that when the time for negotiations with the french came up the british would be well prepared know what they wanted and this is actually something that the british did throughout the war and right to the end of the war. So in april one thousand nine hundred fifteen the british set up a committee headed by the diplomats morris the bunsen to define their interests in the ottoman territories its made certain assumptions about what its ally france would expect from any potential deal. Russian im in a field. I have to say if you could walk and if it is you you really do there and live front on the ground a sort of in the front seat going to be a call on right now i will suddenly be in the muscle i look at it and the thought that if you have a month with you probably have your month what will really be a month britains interests are most likely to be in completing its imperium of the persian gulf by securing the territories of the province the bus route baghdad linked as they were to persian oil fields and island in the shuttle out of. Nicely completing dominion that stretched right around the earth coastline of the persian gulf which places an eight hundred twenty s. Good morning gentlemen are doing so to get on some twenty to set up. And its youngest. And most carefree. Mark sykes who was kitchen as military assistant kitchener was the secretary of state for war and he delegated the job of sitting on the committee sykes mark sykes had been born into a wealthy family in yorkshire in the north of england in eight hundred seventy nine. He studied at Cambridge University and was elected as a conservative member of parliament. In one nine hundred eleven. He like to give the impression of being an expert on the middle east based on his travels in the region but he was not quite the authority as it was sometimes assumed. He presented the Bunsen Committee with his vision of a new near east region as riches and this will be our eyes use to come up himself with a different plan which is something completely different a much more Old Fashioned that was to create a quarter of across the middle east so he was planning to divide the middle east between france and britain. And create a belt of english controlled country that stretched across from the mediterranean coast to the mountains of the iranian from and back to the century as a as a affront to britain could control and keep other people away from the red sea and the persian gulf. That was rejected by the bunch i wish the older wiser heads said you know that whatever work youll fall into line one nine hundred fifteen the debunks in Committee Recommended dividing the Ottoman Empire into several provinces over which britain would seek influence rather than exercise direct control. But when sykes was sent to the middle east and india he began to revert to his original idea of a british cordon from the mediterranean to iraq. So so mark from your knowledge of the air out of the question. Where would you say that a legion slot between us and the french i mean. Practically all arabs approach. Not exactly anti french but frightened of financial exploitation and they are frightened of French Colonial methods. But there are many christians in syria in the limited particular how do they feel that christians are as afraid at the bottom of their hearts as the muslims and only in syria that feeling sarah is prevalent everywhere because they know what the french do that feeling pretty well runs all through. There is the French Nationalist Party which is sentimental still harking back to the crusades. So science returned and as the currents of the started to come together he was called into downing street at the end of the year on the sixteenth of december one nine hundred fifty and then. He must of gone with a map as well because he got into the the meeting with the cabinet the Prime Minister and his chief ministers sitting around the cabinet table in downing street i believe they fear an arab kind of that. Which is an independent stage the common language the arabs of tunis algeria and morocco course they control entirely the french nationalists believe that if the allies when they want syria and palestine im not a mesopotamia likes appeared to be someone who was very knowledgeable and in fact in that Cabinet Meeting that he went to in december one nine hundred fifty in. Order that the result of the Cabinet Meeting was that one of the cabinet ministers he was there believed he could speak arabic and turkish but in fact he couldnt speak neither language so he he dotted his speech with arabic phrases that sort of thing to give himself the appearance of being an expert when in fact he was more of a gifted amateur what do you think we should do mark. I think to counteract the french war aims. We require diplomacy. Do you think diplomacy will achieve with the fridge i dont want to make any suggestions except on very general lines. But i feel we ought to settle with france as soon as possible and get a definite understanding about what sort of arrangement would you like to have with the french what would you say to them i would like to see for ourselves. South of haifa apart from the active tourist. If you have even just to be very. Good and the who. Lisa fuckoff. I mean there were funny. Men and with. Guns and no. Idea of how old men would love to mop up a. Few months of the chemical its most important that we should have a bout of english controlled country between the sharif of mecca and the french in syria what would you do the french i should like to draw a lot. In asia. To the last came good cook and this must all be settled before we can take military action against the turks in syria. We must find out what the french actually in system upon having they do multiple syria they can both be merely a military purposes we must make terms with problems. Which means we must make terms. To match. By to. Britain has identified the territories of the Ottoman Empire its wanted in order to protect its interests in the suez canal and the area provinces. But this clan was dependent on fruits and friends winning the war which at the start of one thousand and fifteen was almost at a standstill on the western front in europe. The allies decided to open an Eastern Front against the ottoman and. The ill fated gillet Police Campaign around between april nineteenth fifteen and january nineteenth sixteen. When its finally field the allies including australians and new zealanders suffered a major step. This monument commemorates the ottoman victory in which around eighty thousand allied troops were killed. This defeat at the police and later includes mystically timeo caused the british to enter into more secret deals over the middle east. Coming up how the british conspired which should be the same mcconnell to strike back at the ottomans through an arab revolt. The british adopt the sharifs of mecca as the partners that were essential in the propaganda war with the ottomans to demonstrate that the muslim world was better off on the allied side that fight the odds let me explain why we must have and sikes. Negotiate face to face to get what they both want from the middle east well if we cannot have palestinian my government was suddenly not allow britain to control my government would take the same view french polish time would be natural but then we need to find another solution before we come to blows.

We must retain full control. In lease nine hundred fifteen early one nine hundred sixty region both britain and france were exercised by how they might divide up the ailing autumn an empire between them so the allies ultimately win the First World War. But when they suffered a serious defeat at belittling britain looked at alternative ways of attacking the ottomans and undermining their support for germany. But now the ottomans on a victory might be able to provoke uprisings in the indian and egyptian muslim populations that so far theyve not been able to effect its at that point different begins to really consider how it might turn the tables on the ottomans and force them to fight in their own territory against an internal uprising so to address that challenge they turn to that sharif said baca who had already made overtures to the british about concluding an alliance to secure their position now all of a sudden the british adopt the sharif of mecca the partners that were essential. In the propaganda war with the ottomans to demonstrate that the muslim world was better off on the allied side that fight with the audience. In one thousand nine hundred eight the ottomans had appointed should each post in been highly as the wily the governor of his as the area towards the red sea. He was from the hashemite in a city in mecca of which he was the emir. His sons faisal and op dont know representatives and Ottoman Parliament but his relationship with istanbul had deteriorated in recent years but that africa was going to show you that soon forgot how to either me or i was older and no. Poor slide a few feet a stumble some you too many and some you just are here to have a tree or to have the thought of going home at night and with many a heavy for. Your army you can have a home. There on the pier got a pretty. Shareef. Yeah i mean. I really thought fickle it. Was. What he thought shroff. Home yeah i saw him out of a jazz can it. In. Me. To be the dont as many. Lee. As many yeah kiss. Democracy and as many a how come yeah i guess we should add up what a crowd what they are all about how they are or whether in their out how to lead the spirit and then her does are referred to as many if it will be. Sorely missed her. In the. Lee. At the ottoman ruler of greater syria jamal pascha executed a group of arabs in damascus and beirut in one nine hundred fifteen and nineteen sixteen they were accused of being separatists and of supporting the british and french this hard to the determination of the Arab Nationalists to separate from autumn rule and to create an independent arab States Hussein didnt have any modern ideas of nationalism but he wanted more autonomy under the ottoman. Empire but its only gradually that he was drawn into what became an Arab National movement a full scale revolt against the ottomans and this wasnt an easy decision for the sharif or make to make because the ottomans were fellow muslims. And he was siding with an infidel. Against fellow sunni muslims. There had been conversations between the british and the hushed more its before the war but in july one thousand nine hundred fifteen Sharif Christine wrote to the british high commissioner in cairo sir henry mcmahon. He offered his support to against the ottomans in return for british support for an independent kingdom that would include the provinces in the arab peninsula and be ruled by the hashemites. Service when i look because a. Third of the. Muscle over here did but there was a lot of could be about him how about you see a fella. There with a limb as a lot of you believe. To clean water off of the blood rushed to the upper limit as a seal mccoll when associated with it the labia tell me that it was all of that is that there were a lot to be absolutely. Ill most earth early to come out. What a source of a similarly to the team a la la plata most but the map the bit adia what the limits of all the other of the saudi you were a scary few. Months up and the correspondence continued and mcmahon brought to sharif a stain on the twenty fourth of october one thousand nine hundred fifteen he said that britain would not guarantee support for an independent arab kingdom with all the provinces demanded by the hashemites nevertheless the hashemites went ahead with their revolt against the ottomans in july one thousand sixteen. But many still consider mcmahons lesser controversial today because of the air. As the british wanted to exclude from any future arab kingdom in here and that you. Should see. It doesnt mean it is a good occasion to go to a middle field lutie will it wouldnt. Undo residency in britain. While barack and a sunni walk to go to be demolished homes will have know how to get a new clothes arent going to be wrapped up in that. Doesnt mean it is likely then getting money in d. C. Became a few uneasy in districts a moment it clear and the fear doesnt or hasnt you can believe this was an evil mccarran can a lot of it and documents. Like that was careful not to promise anything the contravened preexisting treaty arrangements they wish to exclude territories to the west of hong damascus and aleppo and certain areas around the gulf of alexandretta and into the sea and that britain was already an occupation of the province a bus ride much of the province of baghdad at this time and so britain was very keen to declare its interest and retaining some degree of control over those territories for the Mutual Benefit of the arabs of the british gathers boundaries that britain would be willing to accept the hash like claim to arab kingdom with british support hussein thought that the british promised to include palestine in his kingdom. And the british later denied that their promise Team Palestine they denied outright but. All the every does is that they have probably seen palestine double if that one had beer. With only mcmahon lets show you for saying i love doing my last. Minute of all that in these my life and so we. Filmed a little more how to belittle the men in the world that the living is very or that i did feel that means. Yeah you can leave out also that when rottweiler and we are normal friends or. Significantly in the three months that the british promised parts of greater syria to sharif distain they told the french that any agreement relating to the borders of an arab kingdom would not be finalized without their consent. They knew how strong the french interest in syria was. On the first of october nine hundred fifteen the french ambassador to britain Paul Campbell wrote to his Prime Minister we need to beyond to tell him that london had requested a french representative to draw the borders of an arab kingdom with syria. In this document the french ambassador suggested hans want george p. Coke would manage the general consulate in beirut for over a year and knew the syrian issue better than anyone else. Aloft also just because the diplomat sit down diplomat here diplomat kamel is a. Hundred years in the game circular debate events. His all clear so. There are a lot some of the stuff i mean you do. Dont wish them. The diplomatic all said it says on the song happy kid also political and yet as yet t. K. It is something thats kind of as you know you know we are back with the diplomat less sits at the desk its a d. Plus the bus dont bust or even circles good. Evening. We have some candles. A few. More zouma sure draw the night youre in place your enjoy warm its the french representative pico had his first meeting with the british in london on the twenty third of november one thousand nine hundred fifteen here the right food to see you again i know everybody this started their negotiations about their respective shares of the Ottoman Empire once the war was over. British come along with another writer of people from all the different ministries that take an interest the war ministry the Foreign Office the colonial office. They are sitting on one side of the table and pico is on the other side of the table have. We were to define for the first well founded reason you want government just as we must of course have the whole of syria and palestinian know all of it of course down to the egyptian border but still pico you must realize there are other claims in this area. To pass happiness perhaps the best to him and you could form a kind of enclave but certainly nowhere. Despite the numerical advantage p. K. Just sits there with his arms crossed and says im not interested in you or your plan it doesnt we we call possibly accept something along the lines that you are talking about moving further east we must have the land north of this line and across here including most of most of the town not all the villa it the area around twenty years ago the belayer to most of included the baghdad ambassador districts are you suggesting they should be separated now its impossible to consider the situation of twenty years ago affecting the situation now so mr picco if you have palestine and syria and half iraq in mosul will you be satisfied i think i can persuade my government then we have reached an impasse. The uncompromising positions of both sides at that first meeting cause the British Army Intelligence officer in cairo to write it is obviously hopeless to attempt to arrive at any reasonable agreement with the french so long as pico is their representative. Says mean the settle comes up on a serious and see. In a key basket offered to some to high School Populations our bus clearly could top you know it be us over toward advani goes here. Or here left. Your place on look be cool and Jada Brittany get it lit deserve an offer to voyager shouted the lable this one that build the big. He is like our face because typically also on the bed the big do get it that the car the victoire so markedly twelve were larkham also potentially thirty two are aged this year not thirteen look after that get it talking exist apart its about that on mon the kid are more under because the more these ethics is going their bellies into a nano eat dissing the elf at least with drill d. P. Do. So mark your government has been adopting extreme positions over a territory which you must recognise france has special claims to but in the meetings i attended no one seemed to give a centimeter and yet the concessions i feel are sensual decisions have to be made so that we both know where we stand when turkey is conquered as inevitably it will be. Mr speaker i feel sure that within these walls we can find a way through the issues and my government has given me the power to make the necessary decisions i too have been given the freedom by my government to make the necessary decisions and you must realize that we have very definite needs in the territory which some of my countrymen consider to be french by rights ever since the crusades do you remember who won the crusades yes but today the ira observes you said i didnt. Although these talks were secret the russians had already made their demands what we must do now that we have agreed the russians can have the Northern Areas of turkey including the straits is to discuss the southern and eastern areas so that the interests of both nations can be established for the decades that will follows and of or the start then with the provinces of syria that center on damascus and to live in. Their own. A desert should they. Do food. Then or are the Authorities Say you couldnt before. Well you know roofs. With money you have. No food. For. Your review. You see its indispensable for the arabs of in syria to have some direct access to the mediterranean somewhere along the syrian lebanon and the way to total french control that would be impossible but that would mean french positions would be split into between an often a softer syria that simply cannot be allowed to happen the political and military a bit strange would be impossible in such a divided territory. Im not convinced but. It is nevertheless try to meet that object. And my dividing line is again. From. A bit of funny you should be. In either party a big deal. Or no one had. No from stuff you have no hasa could have you do something. With a funny you and its also a miniature should be sent out. If it was your story configured for a walk. Or funny. Enough. Well a well mandala inspect all the unlawful oberstar to batter you both i mean it will not be possible to persuade my colleagues to accept a line as far north as that that would exclude kosovo regions like the whole run from a sphere by sea but for france to control territory that far south make it very difficult for our plans for a railway line from the coast to baghdad i must insist on this point smoke. And co cook. We could not possibly let you have cook from my own travels in the air i know that this province contains the only elements of the population which will make it possible to colonize ation of iraq my idea sykes this is hardly in a spirit of conciliation let me explain why we must have the territory we requested in northern misfitting. Bodily unplugged mask signs is off pico dont believe i suppose this president but he seemed almost something he lived esteemed kosik though do continue it twenty clitic dont. Because if the who continually double up and i must feel she has an n. It dont come so awesome that at the least let him apply he still he can go his own let alone do my level hes pretty full is a little problem to the point theres your throne the law you cannot destroy is well if we cannot have palestina my government was suddenly not allowed britain to control my government would take the same view french polish time would be an outrage but then we need to find another solution before we come to blows. And so. Now we can draw him out. So when sykes left the Cabinet Meeting. On sixteenth of december nine hundred fifty to go and meet pico he had a problem because he had to reconcile two conflicting sets of demands the set of demands that pico was making for syria and lebanon and the other set of demands that sheriff of st had already made and which the british had already effectively accepted for both covering the same territory so he in pico came up with a map that made a distinction between two types of land in the middle east land that britain and france would absolutely control which was colored blue for france and red for britain and a hinterland the in a region which was called area a an area b. Where the arabs would have. Somewhat ptolemy but in which each of the big powers the great powers would have the right to advise or influence with the further complication that the territory of what was to become palestine was designated for an International Zone where basically Russia Britain and france are able to agree who could lay greater claim to the holy land just to further that decision down the road by painting it all proud. In january one nine hundred sixteen the french and british agreed to ignore the borders of any future arab kingdom. Their new borders were enshrined in the deal we now know as the psychs pekoe agreements. Sikes to his line from acre to could cook so the south of anatolia eastern turkey the syrian coast and the roots were put under direct french control. Basra and baghdad were put under direct british control. And damascus were put under french protection and were called area a. The rest of mr potato and the south of greater syria were put under british protection and called area b. Whats palestine including jerusalem was designated as an International Zone in brown. All those like speaker was never implemented it formed the basis of future negotiations and the post autumn in middle east resembled the areas of influence it created so the map has different colors different letters but ultimately what really matters is the line in the sand that runs from the car east to the persian from here.
