The 1917 Battle for Jerusalem: Allenby's Christmas Gift

7 min•9 maj 2026

This episode of 'The History of Jerusalem' examines the pivotal 1917 British campaign to capture Jerusalem from the Ottoman Empire. General Edmund Allenby's carefully orchestrated advance culminated in his historic entry on foot through Jaffa Gate on December 11, a deliberate contrast to earlier Kaiser Wilhelm's flamboyant entrance. We explore the Battle of Beersheba and the charge of the Australian Light Horse, the Ottoman withdrawal under Djemal Pasha, and the strategic aerial bombing by German aircraft. Learn how Allenby exploited the Ottoman supply lines and used cavalry to outflank defenses, leading to the city's surrender without a destructive siege. The episode also discusses the fall of Ottoman rule after 400 years, Allenby's famous proclamation in multiple languages, and the subsequent military occupation that set the stage for the British Mandate. Key figures include Allenby, Djemal Pasha, and the German General von Falkenhayn.
