The Ottoman Empire didn’t collapse only on the battlefield — it collapsed in the budget. This video reveals how desperate oil concessions, foreign debt, and short-term financial survival gambles stripped the empire of control over Mesopotamian oil and accelerated its fall. Oil was meant to save the Ottomans. Instead, it became the final trigger of economic and political collapse.
Based on research from The Ottoman Empire and the World Economy (Pamuk), The Prize (Daniel Yergin), Britain, Oil and the Middle East (Marian Kent), Ottoman Public Debt Administration records, and early Turkish Petroleum Company archives.
Keywords: Ottoman Empire collapse, oil history, Middle East oil origins, Ottoman debt crisis, Mesopotamia oil, World War I economics, financial history documentary, rise and fall of empires
