I said Arabia. Not North Africa. And you know that North Africa was a protectorate of Turkey...therefore they administered themselves, just gave tribute. Same happened for Egypt after 1800...and there were a couple of successful rebellions and attempts before that.
The Arabs of Arabia were the ones who got independence after WWI.
Also Barbary States were really just pirates. It was Egypt who fought alongside the Ottomans.
I see. But anyways, think about it. Do you disagree that there must always be a readon for something to happen? Yes. Ok, so why did the masses rebel? I understand why the later leaders chose to rebel.
