This youtube clip is of a TV series depicting Sultan Abdul Hamid II life. The clip shows the famous meeting between the Sultan and Theodor Herzl (The infamous criminal) in which Herzl offers paying all of the debts of the Ottoman empire in exchange for some lands in Palestine. Those debts amount to the budget of the entire empire for 10 years! With a jewish pen stroke they could have been paid off.
The Sultan refuses and is then toppled and the Ottoman Empire is dissolved. This was an important reason for WW1 because they could not steal Palestine otherwise.
Please also note that an American peace offer to the Ottoman empire was blocked by non other than Henry Morgenthau
