The 1915-16 Ottoman Famine in Palestine Revisited
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna revisit the devastating 1915-16 Ottoman famine in Palestine, a catastrophe that killed nearly 500,000 people across Greater Syria. They explore the confluence of natural disaster, Ottoman military policy, and Allied blockade that created a perfect storm of starvation. Lucas details the role of Jamal Pasha's scorched-earth tactics, the locust plagues of 1915, and the agricultural conscription that stripped villages of labor. The conversation also touches on the American Red Cross relief efforts led by Caleb Gates and the long-term demographic consequences, including the depopulation of the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem. This episode draws on eyewitness accounts from diaries and consular reports to paint a vivid picture of suffering and survival.
