Dividing the Middle East - The Great Loot - Extra History - Part 1

📜 History of Dividing the Middle East: The Great Loot - Way back in one of our first Extra History series, on the beginning of World War I, we talked about how at the end of the war the victorious powers carved up the Middle East—men in drawing rooms deciding the fate of peoples they did not understand, and in some cases, lands they had never visited. This is the story of how that came to happen, a tale of revolts, secret treaties, betrayal, a struggle for homelands, and a British counterinsurgency operation in Iraq. * Watch Extra History ad-free & get 1-week early access on *NEBULA* https://go.nebula.tv/extrahistory * Suggest & Vote on our next episodes, get exclusive content & 24-hour early access on *PATREON* https://bit.ly/EHPatreon * Show off your fandom with *MERCH* from our store! http://extracredits.store/ * Interested in sponsoring an episode?* Email us: [email protected] TWITTER: http://bit.ly/ECTweet I FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/ECFBPage INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/ECisonInstagram I TIKTOK: https://bit.ly/ECtiktokz BLUESKY: https://bit.ly/ECBlueSky I TWITCH: https://bit.ly/ECtwitch GAMING: https://www.youtube.com/@extracredits *Miss an episode in our Dividing the Middle East Series?* Part 1 - https://youtu.be/f2L6L37GGAY Part 2 - https://youtu.be/jJCq5p8HCZo Part 3 - https://youtu.be/0VoV_RQZDls Part 4 - https://youtu.be/WU9TrSOnXkU Part 5 - https://youtu.be/WU9TrSOnXkU Series Wrap-up & Recommended Reading / Lies Episode - https://youtu.be/eNvhTkDkdqA ♪ "Thread of War" by Tiffany Roman - https://youtu.be/eUEeg2rI_eg Thanks for the high-quality conversations & for following our community guidelines here: https://bit.ly/ECFansRNice Artist: Scott DeWitt I Writer: Robert Rath I Showrunner & Narrator: Matthew Krol I Editor: Patrick Rieth I ♪ Music by Demetori: http://bit.ly/1EQA5N7 I #ExtraHistory #MiddleEast #History
