“Blood and Oil: The Middle East in WWI”
Synopsis
of “The Armenian Revolt”
April 2, 2007-Washington, DC: By Fulbright Scholar Gunay Evinch. "Blood and Oil" reveals the energy politics that guided the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East and Caucasus. The film, perhaps controversially, uncovers how Russia, Great Britain and France exploited ethnic and religious differences to fuel revolts against the Ottoman Empire, so that the West could dominate certain petroleum-rich areas, from Baku in Azerbaijan to Mosul and Kirkuk in Iraq. One track followed in the film is that of the Russians (from the east) and French (from the south) instigating the Armenian Revolt, 1885-1920, that killed hundreds of thousands of Muslims, mostly Kurds, in eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus, the Ottoman response to which brought terrible suffering upon the Armenians. The film also delves into the British-engineered Arab revolts from the Sinai, to Palestine, to Baghdad. "Blood and Oil" draws acute parallels between the British invasion of the Middle East in WWI and the present US occupation of Iraq, both of which seemed designed to redraw the region's borders under the guise of self-determination and human rights, but of course in line with the energy objectives of the West. The ethnic and religious feuds of one hundred years ago still haunt the region today, raising the question whether the “War to End All Wars” actually created a “Peace to end all peace,” as David Fromkin argues in the documentary.” David Saltzman, Amazon.com Reviews.
