01The fate of the Ottoman state in the war

  • The Ottoman state entered the First World War on the side of Germany and Austria, hoping to recover what the Entente powers (England and France) had cut off from it, and to save itself and the Arab provinces still in its hands from the plans to divide them among the Entente.
  • In the first days of the war the Ottoman fleet, reinforced by two German warships, bombarded the Russian ports of Odessa and Sebastopol, proclaiming the sacred "jihad" in November 1914.
  • This call had a strong echo among Muslims and was disturbing for England, which ruled India and South-East Asia — at least some fifty million Muslims.
