The Arab Spring: A History. Episode 8 - Mandate

This week in The Arab Spring: A History we turn to the Mandates. We look at just what they were and how they were set up. We take a look out the fall of the Kingdom of Hejaz, the rise of Saudi Arabia, and follow the history of the French Mandates in Lebanon and Syria through to 1939. http://archive.org/download/TheArabSpringAHistory.Episode8-Mandates/Episode8.mp3
