Judgment Day
Description
How did Jerusalem rise again after the devastation of the Crusades? This program explains how the city regained its might, becoming a center of Islamic pilgrimage, an object of rivalry for Europe's Christian nations, the focus of the longing of the Jewish people - and ultimately, the location of one of the world's most intractable conflicts. Starting in the Middle Ages, the video recounts Jerusalem's revival under the Mamluks, its conquest by the Ottomans, how the city came to be prized by the great powers of 19th-century Europe, and the eventual emergence of Zionism.
