What were the Arabs doing during

world war 1
The Arabs were mainly tribal clans that were living
in Arabia. At that time the ottoman empire was in
control of the Arabian peninsular. There was a man
called Sharif Hussein bin Ali who began on June 5,
1916 to start attacking the ottoman empire to gain
independence from the empire to create a Arab
kingdom. When the British and French heard of this
they came to aid the Sharif and train his men in the
art of war with the help of Edmund Allenby and T.E
Lawrence ( Lawrence of Arabia el Aurens).

This is a picture of
T.E Lawrence
(Lawrence of Arabia
or El Aurens) at the
time that he was in
Arabia fighting the
ottomans out.

Were the Arabs fighting

The Arabs were fighting the ottoman empire for independence to unite all the
Arabs and come under one banner called the kingdom of Hejaz. The Arabs
fought in many battles all over the peninsular of Arabia slowly taking back
city's from the ottoman empire. The Arabs were receiving help from T.E
Lawrence of Arabia who was on the front lines with the Arabian army. They
attacked places such as.
Medina
Aqaba
Damascus
The dead sea
And many more places were taken over. Eventually the ottoman empire was in
decline and the Arabs had got victory with the help of the British and French.

These are some pictures

that were taken by
photographers of the
Arabian army to show
back home.

Why did the English and French

help the Arabs
The English and French were apart of the triple Entente and the
ottoman empire was apart of the triple alliance there for were
enemies. The British and French wanted to create another front
that would nock the ottoman empire out of the war. The British
and Australians were also trying to open up Gallipoli so they could
use naval force to go straight down the Dardanelles Strait which
would lead them to Istanbul the capital of the ottoman empire.
But the campaign of Gallipoli failed. With the assault on the
middle eastern front the British succeeded to push the ottoman
empires borders significantly out of the Arabian peninsular.
