In 1917-1918, the Arab Revolt, led by Emir Faisal with British and French support, was instrumental in weakening Ottoman power in WWI. Supplied with weapons, training, and strategic guidance, Arab troops executed decisive raids, targeting vital Ottoman infrastructure like the Hejaz railway. Despite obstacles such as robust defense at Ma'an and Medina's delayed surrender, the Arab forces, bolstered by Egyptian, Indian, and Gurkha troops, armored cars, and Royal Flying Corps air support, were key to the Allied triumph. The effectiveness of Arab strategies was marked by significant operations including the Tafilah skirmish and Hedgehog plan, alongside efforts by the Imperial Camel Corps. This multinational collaboration, featuring a French military mission and Faisal's diversely staffed army, underscored the critical role of Arab engagement in undermining the Ottoman Empire during the war.
