The League of Nations and Turkish political refugees in Greece in the early 1930s
With the signing of the Ankara Agreement in 1930 between Turkey and Greece, the Greek government withdrew its open support for Turkish political opponents of the Kemalist government and expelled such figures from Western Thrace. Among them were some Yüzellilikler, the 150 people proscribed by the Turkish government under the Protocol of the Lausanne Treaty of 1923. The Yüzellilikler, who had gained the status of refugees under the protection of t…
Making a Living in Ottoman Anatolia
Centred on the socio-economic life of Ottoman Anatolia, this volume examines aspects of production, local and international trade, consumption and the role of the state, both at a local and a central level. Based on a wide array of data and adopting a variety of approaches, chapters range from the macro to the micro, from the overview of Anatolian economic resources to the in-depth examination of the petition language of provincial economic actor…
Great Britain and ‘a small and poor peasant state’
Taking the Anglo-Turkish Trade and Navigation Treaty, concluded in March 1930, as its focal point, this article investigates the relations between Turkey and Britain after the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne and suggests that the failure of the British government to understand the fundamental importance of economic independence for the governing elite of the new Turkish republic, combined with its conviction that the Turkish economy was failing…
Islamic Intellectual History in the Seventeenth Century
Research into the intellectual history of the seventeenth century in the Ottoman empire and the Maghreb is, as Khaled El-Rouayheb notes, ‘woefully underdeveloped’ (p. 2). This book is a major contribution to shifting this field out of its own ‘dark ages’ (p. 361), challenging accepted views of the intellectual world and constructing new arguments based on a close analysis of the primary material. It overturns established views of the seventeenth …
Bruce Ware Allen, The Great Siege of Malta
The Great Seljuk Empire, by A.C.S. Peacock
This book represents, according to its author Andrew Peacock, ‘an attempt to offer a personal interpretation of the empire’s history’ (pp. 10–11), though in what way exactly it is personal is not clear. At various points in the text, Peacock stresses the limited ambition of his book: its purpose is ‘to give the reader an impression of the overarching trends in Seljuk political history’ (p. 11), to ‘provide an overview’ of the Seljuk military (p. …
Against Massacre. Humanitarian Interventions in the Ottoman Empire, 1815-1914 By Davide Rodogno
This book is an easy read. It flows along nicely and will be popular with students and the chattering classes alike, for it says all the right things. The nineteenth-century British and French did attempt a humanitarian agenda, but were flawed because of their complete failure to acknowledge Muslim human rights. The Europeans ‘never admitted that the brutal enforcement of colonial policies determined by their generous intentions often resulted in…
The Ottoman Economy, c.1300‐c.1585
This article examines the Ottoman economy from the rise of the state in around 1300 to the major debasement of c.1585. After a brief assessment of the problems of sources and an overview of the economy, it investigates the nature of the Ottoman economy, considering the model proposed by Mehmet Genç based on provisionalism, traditionalism and fiscalism, and arguing that what characterised the early Ottoman economy was decentralisation, regional di…

The Ottomans, 1451–1603
The period from the second accession of Mehmed II in 1451 to the accession of Ahmed III in 1603 was one in which the Ottoman Empire was to reach the limits of its territorial expansion, stretching from Iran in the east to Hungary in the west, from the Crimea in the north to the borders of Morocco in the south. The empire truly became a world power, one of the major players in the politics of Europe (see Brummett, Chapter 3, this volume) and a dom…
The Cambridge History of Turkey
Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Turkey examines the period from the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 to the accession of Ahmed I in 1603. During this period, the Ottoman Empire moved into a new phase of expansion, emerging in the sixteenth century as a dominant political player on the world scene. With territory stretching around the Mediterranean from the Adriatic Sea to Morocco, and from the Caucasus to the Caspian Sea, the Ottomans reac…
A Social History of Ottoman Istanbul
Using a wealth of contemporary Ottoman sources, this book recreates the social history of Istanbul, a huge, cosmopolitan metropolis and imperial capital of the Ottoman Empire. Seat of the Sultan and an opulent international emporium, Istanbul was also a city of violence shaken regularly by natural disasters and by the turmoil of sultanic politics and violent revolt. Its inhabitants, entertained by imperial festivities and cared for by the great p…
The Turkish economy, 1071–1453
It has been an often accepted axiom that Turks and economy were not good bedfellows. Presaged by the clouds of an army on the march, the arrival of the Turk was synonymous with economic disaster. For many historians of the nineteenth century, the imprint of the Turkish horse left eternal destruction and economic ruin. Even if modified and toned down in the later twentieth century, this view of the Turk as an economically destructive presence has,…
The Cambridge History of Turkey
This volume examines the rise of Turkish power in Anatolia from the arrival of the first Turks at the end of the eleventh century to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Taking the period as a whole, the volume covers the political, economic, social, intellectual and cultural history of the region as the Byzantine empire crumbled and Anatolia passed into Turkish control to become the heartland of the Ottoman empire. In this way, the authors emphas…
The Ottomans and Wealth
A Brief History of the Late Ottoman Empire * By M. Sukru HaniogLU
In his introduction, Șükrü Hanioğlu gives as a major goal of his book the rectifying of the erroneous vision of late Ottoman history which places it in a ‘narrative of imperial collapse to the relentless drumbeat of the march of progress—usually associated with Westernization, nationalism, and secularization’ (pp. 1–2). This simplistic framework, for so long appealing to so many, merely serves to obfuscate understanding and allow the creation of …
Ottoman Army Effectiveness in World War I
This book examines ‘how the Ottoman army was able to evolve and maintain high overall combat effectiveness relative to the British army during World War I’ and ‘seeks to explain and partially answer the broader questions, “what was the strength of the Ottoman army and how was it that the Turks managed to field an effective army through four years of war?” ’ (p. 1). It focuses on four campaigns: Galipoli, Kut al-Amara, the Third Gaza-Beersheba and…

The Cambridge History of Turkey
Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of Turkey traces the history of the later Ottoman Empire from the death of Mehmed III in 1603 to the proclamation of the tanzimat, the administrative reconstruction of the Ottoman state, in 1839. This was a period of relative stability when trade between the empire and Europe flourished and, wartime apart, merchants and pilgrims travelled in relative security. However, despite the emphasis on the sultan's role as…

Mak[ing] Turkey and the Turkish Revolution Known to Foreign Nations Without any Expense
Cinema , according to an article published in the popular journal, Resimli Ay in 1930, was the most powerful means of propaganda... In every film we watch there is propaganda, to a greater or lesser extent .1 This view echoes that of many leading statesmen and politicians of the period, Stalin describing film as the greatest means of mass agitation ,2 while for the well-known English novelist John Buchan, speaking in the House of Commons in 1932,…
Tax-Farming in the Early Ottoman State
While tax-farming is often thought of in negative terms, its application in the early Ottoman state may well have been beneficial for economic development. Tax-farming seems to have been in operation from at least the later fourteenth century and may simply have been taken over by the early Ottoman rulers as a system already in operation in Byzantine territory. It is possible to argue that tax-farming also existed in the Turkish states of Aydin a…
Early Turkish Naval Activities
Without effective control of the Straits there would have been no Otto man empire, for the survival of this state, with lands in both Europe and Asia, required a secure ability to transport forces constantly between the two sections of its territory. From the time of the first Ottoman entry into Europe in the mid-14th century, Ottoman troops were shuttled back wards and forwards between Europe and Asia. It therefore follows that the Ottomans must…

The treaty of 1387 between Murād I and the Genoese
The aim of this article is to present a new edition, translation and commentary of the treaty concluded in 1387 between the Ottoman ruler Murād I (1362-1389) and the Comune of Genoa. As the only known extant fourteenth-century treaty between the Ottomans and a western city state, the treaty is of considerable importance for early Ottoman history, a period for which contemporary Turkish sources are scant

Ottoman Grain Exports from Western Anatolia at the End of the Fourteenth Century
