The Ottoman Empire in World War I (Part 2) | Jerusalem, Baku & Megiddo

By 1917, the Ottoman Empire appeared to have found a second chance. The Russian Empire was collapsing in revolution. Ottoman armies advanced into the Caucasus and moved toward Baku. But while one enemy disappeared, another grew stronger. In this documentary, we follow the final years of the Ottoman Empire during World War I: the battles of Gaza and Beersheba, the fall of Jerusalem, the Caucasus Campaign, the race for Baku, the Battle of Megiddo, the Arab Revolt, and the British advance toward Damascus and Aleppo. Featuring Mustafa Kemal, Enver Pasha, Edmund Allenby, Lawrence of Arabia, and many of the key figures who shaped the final collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
