Was Lawrence of Arabia really the hero he's made out to be? I Gotta Story To Tell | S2E1
You forgot to mention, he was also a homosexual!
Oh shut up.
You people have oppressed the Arabs,
While you make many good points, there is no shame in demonizing the Turks. They were brutal and Oppressive overlords who were religousy intolerant. Don't believe me? Just ask the Armenians whom they massacred in their Millions.
This is such petty and insecure criticism.

"I acknowledge that Lawrence existed"
Very generous concession.
This guy has no credentials to speak about history, suggest you guys know more about the real lawrence of Arabia. Even the game battlefield1 depicted this true character as accurate as possible. This guy sure he beef with the west, I'm not against Turks or the west but never undermine the sacrifices of the Arabs
Yes, the Ottomans sucked.
4:15 Lol, I get you're trying to stoke outrage for propaganda and whatnot, but how is that a controversial statement to make about many of the members of the different tribes, from a Turkish and Western perspective back then?
Lawrence of Arabia empowered the Wahhabi movement
This is what Bollywood is recently doing to create a fuzzy, rosy history. It's a classic example of using nationalistic narratives to earn money, by distorting the historical facts. How brutal it is to sell the product by exploiting the people's sentiments.
casually tries to be black…
this is still happening , Western media is playing roles of Crusaders But we Muslim nations are Still Unaware
thanks for sharing this, enough for western propaganda
You have the flags switched in the photos of Mark Sykes (British) and Francois Georges-Picot (French).
Even before hearing this I assumed it was BS. I don't believe any history told by the victors. That's why I stick to science and math; I can verify a mathematical proof today as much as I could hundreds of years ago.
There is no denying that Lawrence led the attack on what was considered to be an impregnable Akaba and he successfully captured it which was quite an accomplishment by itself. Also he conducted a guerrilla war against the Turks and blew up many of their rail lines in Arabia. All this was accurately portrayed in the 1962 movie. He had no part in the tricky Allied diplomacy pursued during and after WWI.
This crap!
Turks treated them as slaves if they treated them right why would they would revolt.
