Reply to comment by operating5percpower in TIL that a famine in Persia (Iran) between 1917–1919 lead to the deaths of an estimated 2 million people. It's an event that hasn't been studied by many historians. by icantthinkofaname940

So it sounds like we agree that the British broke their promise then. They agreed to give the Arabs an independent state from Syria to Yemen and then once they war ended they didn't.

The idea that the British just held on to Palestine to keep their promise to the Jewish people is a lie. They arrested Jewish people who tried to travel to Palestine.

You said that the British did "most of the work" taking back land from the Ottoman Empire. That was a lie. It was the Arab forces in modern day Iran who were estimated to be 30,000-50,000, not 5,000 who did most of the work. Trying to compare their numbers to British forces fighting in France as evidence that the British did most of the work in modern day Iran is nonsense.

At least you stopped referring to Russia as "the Soviets". I'll give you credit for that but nothing else in your rant was historically accurate.
