World War I set the stage for many conflicts in the 20th-century Middle East. This course examines the last attempt to build a pluralistic, constitutional realm under the Ottoman empire; how that world crumbled in the Balkan wars and Great War; the Young Turks’ relations with Germany; Lawrence of Arabia and the Arab Revolt; the Armenian genocide; women and peasants’ suffering; the Balfour Declaration and start of the Palestine conflict.
