The 1915-16 Ottoman Famine: Palestine's Starvation Decree
Om avsnittet
In this episode of The History of Palestine, we dig into the 1915-16 Ottoman famine that devastated Greater Syria, including Palestine. Lucas and Luna explore how a combination of Jamal Pasha's agricultural conscription, a locust plague, and the Allied blockade turned a difficult harvest into a full-blown catastrophe. We hear about the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, the role of the American Red Cross, and how the famine fundamentally reshaped Palestinian society and sowed seeds of later conflict. This is not just a story of suffering — it's a look at how political decisions and war can weaponize food. If you've been following our series on late Ottoman Palestine, this episode fills in a crucial blind spot.
