Answer: The Ottoman Empire called for a jihad (holy war) against its enemies.

Explanation:

The Ottoman Empire had great influence in the Middle East before the outbreak of World War I. Much of the area was under Ottoman rule. The Ottoman Empire welcomed the beginning of the war on the side of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The Ottomans called for a holy war against the enemy. The English knew that the Ottomans could be a powerful ally to Germany. That is why they started deploying their troops in Basra, an area not far from the Euphrates and Tigris' mouth. The Ottomans tried to thwart British actions with attacks but without success. The British tried to transfer the fight to the sea, but that attempt was unsuccessful. When we talk about the front in the Middle East, it is necessary to mention the Gallipoli campaign and the Ottoman troops' great success.

The Indians were at war with British troops. They were concerned that the Ottoman call for holy war could have a strong repercussion in Pakistan and could threaten the entire country. As the war progressed, the Ottoman Empire fell more and more into the abyss. The fight with the British was in vain. Even with Germany's help, the Ottoman Empire could not have enough resources to continue the struggle. The British, on the other hand, had enormous capacities. The end of the war meant the elimination of Ottoman influence from the Middle East. It also meant the creation of some new states that gained independence. There was also a strengthening of British influence in that part of the world.

Which part of the u.s. economy had the biggest boost after world war i?

uranmaximum [27]

The U.S. won World War I and set up the League of Nations to decide on what to do with Germany and Italy. The Treaty of Versailles was also signed that set limits on the future of Germany. America did not sign due to unrest at home. Actually- The League of Nations was a condition contained within the treaty of Versailles. Because of a lack of support in Congress, the United States never signed this document and therefore never entered this collaboration between nations. Due to the United States' lack of participation, the League of Nations was not long lived, and not until the creation of the United Nation (WWII) did the United States become involved in an international coalition such as this.

Following decisive Union victories by Admiral Farragut in Alabama and General Sherman in Atlanta, Abraham Lincoln is reelected as President of the United States, with Andrew Johnson as his vice president. Along with 55 percent of the popular vote, Lincoln wins 212 electoral votes to McClellan's 21.

With Lincoln's influence, the House of Representatives approves the Thirteenth Amendment, which calls for the emancipation of all slaves and no compensation to their owners. The amendment was passed by the Senate in 1864 but failed to receive the necessary votes in the House. By December of 1865, enough states ratify the amendment to make it constitutionally binding.
