      ''Persians'' did not anything you said in the video. They did not fight the Russians in the Caucasus, they did not interfere in the affairs of Afghanistan, they did not sign an agreement with the British. Those who guided the country's political and military administration were the Qizilbash Turks, who despised the ''Persians'' and spoke same language with their Ottoman cousins in Anatolia.

It is indeed an interesting thought if Napoleon commanded his forces through the Balkans and not Egypt, especially since he would have been at war with the Ottomans either way. But he was out for adventure and the Balkans were i think a little too close to home for him. Secondly whilst the Ottomans didn’t build there Empire based on complete tolerance lots of different cultures did flourish including in the Balkans.

    Your videos are always so inspiring. In the west we never learn the complex history of what is one of the worlds oldest populated area of the world.
    I think this is why wars in the area can then be so quickly manipulated to various propaganda campaigns. Western minds are a blank slate to the area's history, and quickly absorb whatever is suggested to them.
    Everything is over simplified and given a western framework, everything becomes a "CIA Plot" because people can't fathom cultures and power structures much older then the USA itself have its own agenda and political will. There is no respect for the peoples of the area, everyone is just a flat NPC waiting to be exploited by European powers. Or an mid-evil evil force of baddies. There is no possibility of strategy, partnership, commercial expansion, self-interest, national pride, depth, real history.

    I reckon apart from The Holy Land and Old Testament sites rediscovered in this era as verification of scripture, mostly the European interest was in trade & communication routes. Coaling stations & telegraph posts were a lot less glamorous, perhaps, but they ran trade before diesel oil from the region became important to shipping & petroleum fuels drove land & air transport including the military. The Ottoman Empire in Arabia used railroads for heavy lifting & these were targeted by the rebel forces.
