"The Alliance of Islam and its role in government policies during the First World War"

The alliance of Islam is the name of an organization which is placed in Istanbul. This organization has been created by some writers and religious scholars such as Seyyed Jamalodin Asad Abadi in the beginning of the 1890s. The alliance of Islam sought to capture the support of the Muslims from the Islamic Caliphate (Ottoman Empire) and to struggle with colonial countries. The delegation of the Alliance of Islam is the name of a group that was founded by the religious nationalists with the beginning of the first world war and the invasion of Russia, Britain and Ottoman into Iran. The milestone in the activities of the delegation of the alliance of Islam was in organizing and directing the jangal movement which was led by Mirza Kuchak Khan. But this indigenous uprising brought about only the name of the alliance of Islam, and did not show any respect towards the Islamic alliance in the policies of the jangal movement. The jangal members, led by Mirza Kuchak Khan, not only did not only help the Ottoman troops, but also they categorized the Ottomans as the enemy, comparable to Russia, therefore they defeated the Ottoman forces in Iran.
