Palestine: From Past to Present

Episode 2: 1900-1917 Palestine, World War 1 and the Fall of the Ottomans

In this episode, we journey through Palestine from 1900 to 1917, a time marked by profound upheaval amidst the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of European influence. Against a backdrop of traditional Palestinian life, the rising influx of Zionist settlers from Europe seeking new territory in Palestine began to heighten tension and threaten local dynamics. As European powers exerted increasing pressure, Palestinians faced the erosion of their way of life and the challenges of colonialism. The outbreak of World War I further destabilized the region, bringing economic hardship and social disruption to Palestinian communities, already grappling with the decline of Ottoman rule.
