dead hand
" But religious extremism is a conduit for misery, not its fundamental cause (see article). While Islamic democracies elsewhere (such as Indonesia—see article) are doing fine, in the Arab world the very fabric of the state is weak. Few Arab countries have been nations for long.
The dead hand of the Turks' declining Ottoman empire was followed after the first world war by the humiliation of British and French rule.
In much of the Arab world the colonial powers continued to control or influence events until the 1960s. Arab countries have not yet succeeded in fostering the institutional prerequisites of democracy—the give-and-take of parliamentary discourse, protection for minorities, the emancipation of women, a free press, independent courts and universities and trade unions."
I think, in this sentence, the writer means that the rule of British and French ensued the perishing of the Ottoman empire after the first world war . But the interpretation from a netizen says that the rule of British and French finished as well as the collapse of the Ottoman empire, after the world war I. Do you think which one is right?
