The Ottomans. Europe's Muslim Emperors-Episode 3

Description

Inspired by the French and American Revolutions, the multiethnic Ottoman domain began fracturing into nationalistic territories that eventually were all but dissolved by the European Powers following World War I. In this program, Rageh Omaar reviews the collapse of the once-great empire and explains how the seeds of present-day tensions in the Muslim world were sown. Omaar takes a special look at the Battle of Gallipoli, the Armenian genocide, and the forced relocation of millions of Anatolian Greeks, all tragic chapters in the story of Turkey's transition to a modern nation, as well as the resurgence of Ottomanism now revitalizing the Turkish economy.
