- Abstract
The most important events in Red Sea and Arabian Peninsula started in Hijaz during the World War I. Religious, political and military importance of this region caused both Ottomans and the British not only fight for regional but also get wider and bigger consequences over winning the governor of Makkah Sherif Husayn. During the World War I, Ottomans tried to defend holy cities n Hijaz but they couldn't provide sufficient military, materials and warfare. In 1916, in consequence of British provocation Hasheemi Arabs rebelled and the Governor of Makkah Sherif Husayn declared independence against Otoman Empire and then captured most of Hijaz. Fahreddin Paşa defended Medinah with tremendous effort and only after Mondoros Treaty he delivered it in January 1919. With him, Otoman Empire drew completely back from holy lands which he dominated for centuries.
