The Siege of Sanaa and the Ottoman Retreat
Om avsnittet
This episode explores the catastrophic failure of the Second Ottoman Empire’s expansion into Yemen between 1904 and 1911. While earlier episodes covered the Rasulid dynasty and ancient trade routes, we focus on the brutal campaign led by Mahmud SHawkat Pasha and his successor Halil Pasha against the Zaydi Imam Yahya Hamidaddin. We examine the siege of Sanaa, the resilience of tribal resistance, and the geopolitical pressure from the British in Aden that forced the Ottomans to withdraw. This story reveals how a modern imperial army was undone by terrain, supply lines, and unwavering local defiance, ultimately paving the way for an independent Yemeni state.
