The British army decisively defeats the Turks…

1918 CE

The British army decisively defeats the Turks at Megiddo (in today's Israel) in September 1918, and an Arab force under T. E. Lawrence captures Daraa, thus opening the way for the advance into Syria.

Faisal enters Damascus on October 2, and the Ottoman government consents to an armistice on October 31, bringing the war in this theater to a close.
