The Fall of Baghdad 1917 - Part Two

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we continue our exploration of Eugene Rogan's masterful The Fall of the Ottomans, examining the fall of Baghdad to British forces in March 1917 – a victory that transformed Britain's position in the Middle East and revealed the imperial ambitions that would shape the post-war world.The British capture of Baghdad was far from inevitable. The catastrophic surrender at Kut in April 1916 had left the War Cabinet deeply risk-averse. General Robertson, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, feared that occupying Baghdad would leave British forces isolated and vulnerable to a resurgent Ottoman army. He warned against being "compelled later to fall back for any reason because of the objectionable political effect that such a retirement might produce."But pressure came from multiple directions. The Commander-in-Chief in India argued that seizing Baghdad would "greatly increase prestige in the Islamic East" – a crucial consideration given British fears of Muslim insurrection in India. And the Russians were proposing a spring offensive that might see them reach Baghdad first, which would "nullify the Sykes-Picot agreement." Oil, too, was already a factor – Mosul was understood to be the most reliable source of oil in the region.General Maud, whose superstition led him to launch his offensive on the 13th of December with the 13th Division in the vanguard, pushed forward despite London's caution. The Ottomans, recognising that Baghdad could not be defended, evacuated the city. As they withdrew, they destroyed military installations – wireless masts, cranes, water tanks, and the pontoon bridge across the Tigris. Looting erupted, and the American consul, Oscar Heiser, rode out to find the British advance guard.Maud's proclamation – drafted by Sir Mark Sykes, co-author of the Sykes-Picot Agreement – declared that the British came "not as conquerors or enemies, but as liberators." But the people of Baghdad were not convinced. As one Iraqi schoolboy recalled, "the people of Baghdad and of Iraq as a whole saw with their own eyes how the English treated the Iraqis as slaves or captives."Topics covered:The British War Cabinet's caution after KutThe Russian threat and the Sykes-Picot AgreementThe strategic importance of oilGeneral Maud's superstitious commandThe Ottoman evacuation of BaghdadThe destruction of Ottoman infrastructureLooting and the restoration of orderMaud's proclamation and Iraqi scepticismBritain's imperial ambitions in the Middle EastEugene Rogan's The Fall of the Ottomans is available from all good bookshops.

Explaining History (explaininghistory) (explaininghistory)

The Fall of Baghdad In this solo episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we continue our exploration of Eugene Rogan's masterful The Fall of the Ottomans, examining the British campaign to capture Baghdad in 1917 – a victory that helped redeem the catastrophic humiliation of Kut.The surrender at Kut in April 1916 had been one of the worst disasters in British military history. Thousands of British and Indian soldiers, starved into submission, were marched into captivity and then worked to death building Ottoman railways. The British government was deeply wary of any further advances in Mesopotamia. But the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, smarting from the stigma of defeat, was determined to score a victory.Drawing on Rogan's narrative, we trace the campaign from the cautious advance on the Tigris to the fall of Baghdad. General Maud, a commander who had been wounded in France and was the last man off the beach at Gallipoli, was determined to break the Ottoman defences. Despite orders from London that barred an advance on the city, Maud pushed forward – driven in part by a superstitious belief that 13 was his lucky number.The Ottoman Sixth Army, worn down by illness, desertion, and casualties, was desperately understrength. Halil Pasha had been forced to redeploy forces to confront a Russian threat on the Persian frontier, leaving Baghdad dangerously exposed. When the British finally broke through at the Shumran Bend, the Ottoman retreat became a rout – pursued by British gunboats that wreaked havoc on exhausted and demoralised Turkish soldiers.The recapture of Kut was a symbolic victory. But the fall of Baghdad, which followed shortly after, was the first major British victory in the Middle East – a triumph that had eluded them since the beginning of the war.Topics covered:The disaster at Kut and its aftermathGeneral Maud's command and his superstitious beliefsThe Russian threat on the Persian frontierThe battle for Kut (December 1916 – February 1917)The breakthrough at Shumran BendThe Ottoman retreat and the naval pursuitThe symbolic recapture of KutBritish fears of Muslim insurrection in IndiaEugene Rogan's The Fall of the Ottomans is available from all good bookshops.

"Every extraordinary life begins with one ordinary act of self-trust." How many times have you told yourself, "I just need more time..." or "I'm still trying to figure it out"? But what if you're not actually confused? What if the life-changing answer you've been searching for has been quietly living inside you all along and fear has simply convinced you not to trust it? In this powerful episode, Kute Blackson challenges one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves: we don't know what to do. He reveals why confusion is often nothing more than fear disguised as uncertainty. You'll discover the hidden difference between confusion and inner conflict, why your intuition rarely shouts, how fear keeps you endlessly searching for more signs, and why every day you ignore your deepest knowing comes at a cost. Kute also shares his powerful Four G Framework for making aligned decisions; one that has guided some of the biggest turning points of his own life, from moving across the world to creating Boundless Bliss Bali. If you've been waiting for certainty before taking the next step... this conversation may be the sign you've been asking for. The truth is, your soul already knows. The only question is... Will you trust it? Timestamps (00:05:37) – Why you're probably not confused, you already know the answer (00:08:48) – The four hidden layers that keep you stuck in indecision (00:11:22) – Stop asking, "What should I do?" Ask yourself this instead (00:13:01) – The hidden cost of betraying your own truth (00:14:00) – Why waiting for certainty is keeping you from your destiny (00:16:01) – The first courageous step that changes everything (00:17:00) – Kut's Four G Framework for making soul-aligned decisions: Gut, God, Growth & Grief (00:20:32) – Living with no regrets: the perspective that will transform every decision you make In This Episode, You'll Learn Why confusion is often fear wearing a convincing disguise. The simple shift that will instantly change how you make decisions. How to recognize the quiet voice of your intuition even when fear is screaming louder. The hidden emotional cost of ignoring what you already know to be true. Kute's Four G Framework for making courageous, soul-aligned decisions with confidence. Why the biggest regret isn't making the wrong choice; it's never trusting yourself enough to choose. Some Questions I Ask Are you truly confused... or are you avoiding a truth you already know? What decision have you already made in your heart but haven't admitted to yourself? What conversation are you pretending you don't need to have? Who are you afraid of disappointing if you choose yourself? What would change if you stopped waiting for certainty and started trusting your soul? If today were your last day, would you regret the decision you're making or the one you're avoiding?   Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.
