We are reviewing the 1920s and 1930s both in Australia and Europe and the period where all the hopes for peace and prosperity are challenged. The focus will next move to Britain’s greatest asset, India "the jewel in the crown" and look at the tactics of the humble revolutionary, Gandhi.
Terry Case Our August session looked at how the British and French made secret deals during WW1 to divide the Ottoman Empire and how they promised both the Arabs and Jews their support and betrayed them. The present Syrian civil war being just one of the many conflicts that can be traced back to colonial meddling.
How do we know about the secret documents? Well after the Russian Revolution the Communists published all the secret documents in the Russian archives. It did not stop the British & French drawing lines on maps causing thousands of people to flee their homes. Terry Case |
