Jerusalem 1917: Allenby's Entry and the End of Ottoman Rule
On December 11, 1917, General Edmund Allenby walked through the Jaffa Gate of Jerusalem on foot, marking the end of 400 years of Ottoman rule and the beginning of the British Mandate in Palestine. This episode of The History of Jerusalem traces the dramatic final months of Ottoman control, from the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 to the Balfour Declaration just weeks before Allenby's campaign. We examine the Battle of Beersheba, the Charge at Huj, the Turkish-German defense under Erich von Falkenhayn and Cemal Pasha, and the extraordinary moment when Allenby—deliberately echoing Richard the Lionheart's arrival—entered the Old City. What did the British conquest mean for the city's Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities? Why did Allenby issue his Proclamation of Martial Law in multiple languages? And how did the fall of Jerusalem reshape the course of the 20th century in the Middle East? Join Lucas and Luna for a detailed look at a turning point that still reverberates in the politics of the region today.
