Iran's Revolutionary History | Middle East Documentary
In Iran, the Ayatollahs maintain a theocracy with an iron grip; but huge segments of its society wish to see a liberalisation of its society. To understand how Iran could function as a chaotic yet competent state, we have to delve into its 19th and 20th century history, a period in which the country experienced the lowest of lows - famine, civil war and foreign occupation - but also the highest of highs - strong leaders, nation building and of course, oil. In this feature length documentary, I will cover the period through a case study of its 3 major revolutions: the Constitutional Revolution of 1906, Mossadegh’s reforms in 1951 & the Islamic Revolution of 1979. We'll see how a nation was driven to revolutionary action as a result of its leaders’ incompetence and humiliation at the hands of European imperial powers; as well as, how a nation would go from elation at a brighter future to dismay when greed corrupted the exercise of power.

The Greatest Empire You've Never Heard Of! | Timurid Documentary
zhlédnutí 83KPřed měsícem
Medieval Islamic history is dominated by Turco-Mongolian dynasties. One of the most impactful of these was the Timurids. Named after its ferocious and legendary founder Timur, who would take his armies across Central Asia, Persia, India, Russia and the Middle East - vanquishing anybody that stood in his way. In the wake of his death in 1405, his successors fought over the scraps of empire, lead...
Is The West A Threat To Islam? | Islamic Modernism Documentary

By the latter half of the 19th century, European imperialism penetrated nearly every institution in the Muslim world. From their palaces and armies, to their schools and hospitals.

European empires, though Christian, were becoming increasingly fervent advocates of secularism; believi...

The boy’s name was Nadr-Qoli, meaning “servant of the wonderous one (God)”. There was nothing about Nadr-Qoli’s circumstances which mark...

At the start of the 14th century, the political landscape of Anatolia was comprised of a mosaic of small principalities, referred to as beyliks.

Within less than 100 yrs, it metamorphosed in a power whose reach...

How Saddam Hussein Lost The Gulf War

The Middle East is one of the most important regions for U.S foreign policy - mainly due to the area's abundant supply of oil. The US has shown itself greedily willing to involve itself in the area if it can benefit their oil interests. The Gulf War is perhaps the best example of this. In 1990, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded its small but oil-rich neighbor Kuwait - thereby becoming the benefacto...

Thinking it's more patriotic to call a guy with a Greek name "and background" with a made-up title which is the name of another Greek guy (who's lineage is also falsely claimed by 1/3 Albanian, 1/3 slavs and 1/3 bulgarians who called themselves Northern macedonians , or if they would have it their way macedonians ).
