| Abstract
|
:
|
The Middle East is often overlooked in the World War I narrative when scholars write about how it was indeed a global war. Unlike the static nature of trench warfare, the campaigns in the Middle East covered the entire Ottoman Empire and relied heavily on native populations to defeat the Ottoman army. In order to convince communities throughout the Middle East to support the British Army, the War Office needed experts who knew the geography, language and culture they were working with. Gertrude Bell, a British explorer and writer, was one of these experts that the Foreign Office and War Office brought in to aid in the war effort in Cairo and Mesopotamia. This thesis is focused on providing one way of analyzing the complex relationships, using Social Network Analysis, needed in order to run a successful military campaign. It has an emphasis on Gertrude Bell and her ego map to assess whether she had an impact in the agencies she worked with throughout the war.
