All Sides with Ann Fisher - 11:00 AM - WWI: Its Legacy in the Middle East
 
Play
 
World War I began one hundred years ago last month. By the time the Allies declared victory, an entirely new Middle East had emerged. It was a region that looks uneasily familiar today. We'll discuss the post-war convergence of nationalism and natural resources and a new political class that laid the foundation for current Mid-East conflicts.

Guests:

Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, fellow at The Baker Institute for Public Policy and author of The First World War in the Middle East
Zachary Lockman, professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic studies and history at New York University
