The 1918 Battle of Megiddo: Allenby's Campaign and Palestine's Fate
Om avsnittet
In September 1918, General Edmund Allenby launched a campaign that would end Ottoman rule in Palestine and set the stage for decades of conflict. This episode examines the Battle of Megiddo, the strategic use of cavalry and deception, the collapse of the Ottoman Eighth Army, and the immediate aftermath for Palestinian communities. We explore the role of Arab irregulars under Prince Faisal, the impact of aerial bombing on Ottoman troops, and how the British victory reshaped local governance under OETA. The episode also touches on the competing promises made to Arabs and Jews during the war and how military events on the ground influenced the eventual Mandate system. Key figures include Allenby, General Otto Liman von Sanders, Prince Faisal, and Chaim Weizmann. We also discuss the term 'Armageddon' and its connection to the biblical site of Megiddo.
