The Arab Revolt

The Arab Revolt was the rising proclaimed by Sharif Husayn ibn Ali of Mecca against Ottoman rule in the Hijaz on 10 June 1916, during the First World War, after talks with the British and with secret Arab societies. His son Faysal commanded its armies for about two years and reached Damascus in October 1918. The Encyclopaedia of Islam describes it differently in different entries, as an Arab movement, a dynastic separatist rising, or a movement encouraged by Britain.
