As the Ottoman Empire collapses, Britain and France move to divide its former territories, while the people living there fight for independence, power, and control over their own homelands. From the Arab Revolt and British counterinsurgency in Iraq to the rise of the Saudis and the fallout from the Balfour Declaration, the postwar settlement quickly becomes anything but simple. We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies.
