Abstract (EN)

The Battle of Megiddo (Megiddo) is a special battle in which the Sinai-Palestine Front, one of the few fronts that was the scene of very difficult and long-term struggles in World War I, collapsed for the Alliance States while for the Allied States it was caused by a definite victory and many gains. The Sinai-Palestinian Front, where military activity continued from early 1915 to late 1918 during almost the entire general war, with mutual contact and combat continuing. As a result of the Megiddo, which took place between 19 September-26 October 1918, it resulted in the loss of all Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Syrian territories under its rule for four centuries, resulting in the Ottoman Empire willingly withdrawing from the World War I. There are many features that make this campaign different and important for the history of war. Megiddo, which included many specialities for the world and Turko/Ottoman war history and only in World War I, recorded many lessons to be examined and taken by all the global armies, which were neutral in military terms, with consequences including both draft style and before and after. In a 72-hour period, the The Egyptian Expedition Force (EEF) under the command of The British General Edmund Allenby gained an unforgettable victory to the counter side of The German General Liman von Sanders and Yilderim Army Group (Yilderim) both for the Allied Bloc and for the entire Western World behind the scenes. In this context; our thesis study, unlike similar war history studies, does not have events in the form of a standard chronological examination, The importance of this campaign was revealed in the historical medium by addressing the official history thesis and correspondence of the governments, which were built on material and spiritual concepts and facts than events, and who participated in the neutral general battle of the period or maintained their impartiality, the personal evaluations, memories, biographies, bulletins and reports of individuals of all levels of civil, military, bureaucrat and the military/operation reports of the press-publications.
