How Churchill Stole $2 Billion Worth of Warships - The Betrayal That Started WW1

Описание: On July 28th, 1914, 500 Ottoman sailors stood on the docks of Newcastle, England, ready to take home two of the most powerful battleships ever built. The Sultan Osman I and Reshadia weren't just ships—they were symbols of hope for a dying empire. Millions of Ottomans had donated their life savings, wedding rings, and even their children's hair to buy these warships.
‎But Winston Churchill had other plans.
‎In this video, I reveal the shocking story of how Britain's theft of these battleships triggered a chain of events that pulled the Ottoman Empire into World War I, led to the catastrophic Gallipoli campaign, and ultimately shaped the modern Middle East. This isn't just a story about stolen ships—it's about betrayal, empire, and decisions that still echo in today's conflicts.
‎You'll discover how a single act of maritime piracy changed the course of history, created the borders we see today, and planted the seeds of conflicts that continue to rage across the region.
‎What you'll learn:
‎The incredible fundraising campaign where an entire nation gave everything to build a navy, the dramatic naval chase of the Göben through the Mediterranean, the secret plot that forced the Ottoman Empire into war, how the stolen battleship later fought at the Battle of Jutland under the British flag, and the devastating aftermath that reshaped the entire Middle East.
