1400 OMG is your guide to what the heck happened in Muslim History.

In this series, we look into the key events in the Muslim world over the last two centuries and dig deep into some of the root causes of the situation many find themselves in today.

Over the next few episodes, in Season 2, we will dive deep into the events that led to the formation of the State of Israel. Together, we will understand the roots of the Palestine-Israel Conflict, and understand the history of this important region of the Muslim world.
