Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 1: Surprise Attack
Part 1 - Surprise Attack. Enver Pasha, minister of war for the Ottoman Empire, agrees to a secret alliance with Germany in August 1914. Istanbul mobilizes its army but remains neutral for nearly three months. Eager for a fight against Russia, Enver orders the Turkish Black Sea Fleet to bombard Russian seaports on October 29th. The Triple Entente -- France, Russia and Great Britain -- reacts swiftly and declares war against the Turks within a week. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing importance of Middle Eastern oil reserves to Western economies, a close study of...

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 2: Military Disaster
Part 2 - Military Disaster. Enver Pasha takes personal command of the Ottoman Third Army (95,000 men) and sends it to attack Russian forces in the Caucasus. German military advisor, General Liman von Sanders, advises against a mountain offensive in winter. On December 29, 1914, the Ottoman advance is halted by about 100,000 Russian troops at Sarikamesh. Six days later, the Turks have lost 30,000 men and reel back toward the city of Erzurum. More soldiers desert or die of frostbite; more than half of the Third Army is lost. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing...

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 3: The Dardanelles
Part 3 - A Franco-British fleet under Admiral Sackville Carden bombards Ottoman fortifications along the Dardanelles Straits, hoping to break through to Istanbul. Carden has a nervous breakdown and Rear Admiral John de Robeck takes charge of the 16-battleship task force. On March 18th, three Allied battleships are sunk by mines and three others are disabled. De Robeck fears losing more ships and decides to call off the attack. Despite the pleas of First Admiralty Lord Winston Churchill, the Allied Fleet withdraws. If only one British battleship had made it to Istanbul, the entire course of the war might have changed. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs....

Part 7 - Caucasus Front. After the disaster at Sarikamesh, Russian troops arrive in force by February 1915 and begin an advance into eastern Turkey.

In September, Grand Duke Nicholas (uncle of Tsar Nicholas II) arrives to take command of the Caucasus front and plans a new offensive for the following year.

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 8: Iraq Revisited
Part 8 - Iraq Revisited. General Townshend's troops, besieged by the Turks at Kut, wait in vain for rescue in the spring of 1916. British forces under the command of General Aylmer try to break through the Turkish ring, but fail repeatedly. As Townshend's troops run out of food and ammunition, the situation becomes critical. On April 29th, about 13,000 British soldiers surrender to the Turks. The campaign to capture Baghdad has ended in disaster. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing importance of Middle Eastern oil reserves to Western economies, a close study of this...

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 9: Desert War
Part 9 - Desert War. Beginning in early 1917, British troops under General Archibald Murray clear the Sinai Peninsula of Turkish forces. Murray begins a limited offensive into Palestine, where the Turks have built defensive positions along the ridges between Gaza and Beersheba, two natural gateways into the region. The British advance is slow and methodical; a railroad is built for supplies and reinforcements, and a pipeline is built to carry water for the troops and animals. But the searing Sinai Desert has a fierce effect on the British soldiers, and the sun's terrible heat becomes their worst enemy. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the...

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 11: Gaza Battles
Part 11 - Gaza Battles. In March and April of 1917, the Turks win the first and second battles of Gaza, driving back the forces of General Archibald Murray. In June, the War Office in London removes Murray from command. In his place, General Edmund Allenby arrives with the succinct orders to "take Jerusalem by Christmas." October 31, 1917: in the Third Battle of Gaza, Allenby's army battles all day against the Turks at Beersheba, when a furious charge by the Australian Light Horse Regiment finally breaks the Turkish line. The British advance and capture Gaza soon after. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs.

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 12: Jerusalem Falls
Part 12 - Jerusalem Falls. Allenby pursues the retreating enemy, splitting the two Turkish armies -- the Eighth retreats up the coast and the Seventh falls back to Jerusalem. Turning toward Jerusalem, Allenby's troops advance and drive the enemy northward. On December 8th, civil authorities surrender the Holy City to the British. Three days later, General Allenby walks into Jerusalem as the city's 34th conqueror; Prime Minister Lloyd George and the British public have their "Christmas present" two weeks early. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs.
