A Century on Film

World War I Part 3: The End of All Wars? (1x3)

:

In the final of our 3 episodes covering World War I, A Century on Film looks back at Emir Faisal, who led the Arab Revolt with the help of the legendary Lawrence of Arabia. Faisal entered Damascus triumphantly in October 1918 only to be told soon after by the British that Syria would be a French protectorate. This episode also illuminates the activities of American financial powerhouse, J. P. Morgan and Company, in funding the Allies during the war, and Germany's support of Lenin's return to Russia before the October Revolution in 1917.
