Having quarreled with her husband, she returned to Holland,took a pseudonym(translated from Malay as "Eye of the Day") and began to act as a performer of exotic "Oriental" dances with strong elements of eroticism.In the First world war was recruited - first by the Germans, then the French.As a lover of politicians,, high-ranking military and officials, could have access to many secrets,but the question of who exactly-Germany or the Entente-she worked for real,remains a subject of discussion.
It is not confirmed,but the legend that many of her actions were explained by love to the officer of the Russian expeditionary corps who became blind after a wound is widespread.The French arrested Mata Hari, accusing her of transmitting information that led to the destruction of several divisions,which is likely an attempt to remove the blame from its own command.
The indictments, on the basis of which she was sentenced to death,are still classified.
