Arab opposition to the Turkish nationalist policies…
1900 CE to 1911 CE
One source of opposition develops among Arab intellectuals in Cairo, Beirut, and Damascus, who
formulate the ideas of a new Arab nationalism.
The primary moving force behind this nascent Arab nationalist movement is opposition to the policies of Sultan Abdul Hamid.
The removal of Sultan Abdul Hamid by the Committee of Union and Progress (the umbrella organization of which the Young Turks is the major element) is widely supported by Arab nationalists.
The committee's program of institutional reform and promised autonomy raises Arab nationalist hopes.
