The Strait of Hormuz — Act 2 - Pulse: Origins

What this episode covers

The Route to India: Britain didn't come to the Persian Gulf for the Gulf — it came to protect the passage to India, and it built an entire political order to do it. This act covers how calling Arab sailors 'pirates' became the legal foundation for the Trucial States, why the borders on today's map were drawn to serve an empire that no longer exists, and what happened when Britain announced it was leaving — and the rulers it had installed offered to pay it to stay.
