Contribution to the study of British diplomacy in the Middle East during the WWI
Hilbertová, Denisa ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Tumis, Stanislav (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of the basic premises of British diplomacy in the Middle East before and during the First World War. For a long time, The Middle East was an arena in which Britain fought to shield the road to India from France and Russia, this struggle came to be known as "The Great Game". The Middle East emerged from decisions made by the Allies during and after WW I. British officials who played a major role in making these decisions provided a version of events that was, at best, edited. They pretended they were patrons of Arab independence in the Middle East while promising land which was not theirs to the Jews who hoped to create a new Jewish state in Palestine. All decisions made during war have created the beginnings of the modern Middle East.
