Growing up is realising Lawrence of Arabia was a propaganda film made out to glorify britain's foreign meddling to cause death and destruction for their own intention to annex land/oil
when abdulhamid just wanted to build a railway for his people
bro literally took donations from muslim nations to build it to help his empire get to mecca
foriegn powers take on that? better shoot anyone building the railway and fund uprisings and rebellions to carve out land from the ottoman empire
