This episode focusses on the concrete development of the Egyptian and Palestinian campaign which is probably best known thanks to the famous character of Lawrence of Arabia and the Arab revolt which is partially connected to the Egyptian and Palestinian campaign as well.
The Egyptian and Palestinian campaign proved to be crucial for the subsequent ability of Great Britain to secure its influence in the region, especially in relation to the Suez Canal linking the home islands to its most precious dominions of India and Australia and in relation to its influence in Mesopotamia, the present-day Iraq and Iran.
