Hahah, nah, I was just backing you up.

Anyway, its hardly relevant who took it up the poopenschaft a hundred years ago.

So the Ottomans didnt rape him.

The Ottoman empire didnt break up simply because of Lawrence of arabia. The arabs didnt like Turkish rule. They were going to have a bustup anyway.

POSTSCRIPT TO THE STORY:

The Ottoman empire broke up (as it was going to anyway), the Greeks invaded newly created Turkey, and Kemal Ataturk (Formerly Maj. Gen. Mustapha Kemal Pasha of Gallipoli) kicked their asses so bad that 90,000 Greek soldiers including their king got taken prisoners.

This was all the British's fault anyway. They egged the Greeks on, saying theyd help out.

Well, when push came to shove, Ataturk dared the British and the French to intervene, and sick of war, they both just packed up their bags and left Turkey for good.

Thats also why greece doesnt have a king anymore. The greeks were so mad at him over the disaster that they kicked him out.

Oh, and Enver Pasha (of young turk fame), was exiled from turkey, couldnt deal with a life without war, and died fighting the soviets during their takeover of what is probably now turkmenistan.

End of story.
