Saturday, November 14, 1914. Declaring a holy war.

Following up on something the Ottoman Emperor had already done, the state's religious leader (Sheikh-ul-Islam) declared a holy war against the Allies.

Interestingly, the prior Sheikh-ul-Islam had lost his position in 1913 and was exiled to Egypt for opposing the then coming war.
