The League of Nations and Turkish political refugees in Greece in the early 1930s

Among them were some Yüzellilikler, the 150 people proscribed by the Turkish government under the Protocol of the Lausanne Treaty of 1923.

Great Britain and ‘a small and poor peasant state’: Turkey, Britain and the 1930 Anglo-Turkish Treaty of Commerce and Navigation
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…

Buna göre, prestiji kendi uluslararası etkisini korumak ve arttırmak için yaşamsal gören İngiltere'nin, Türkiye, Cumhuriyet rejimi ve onun sembolü haline gelen Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'ün uluslararası saygınlığının artmasını engellemeye ve Türkiye'nin etkisini uluslararası alanda sınırlı tutmaya yönelik çabalarına rağmen Türkiye yaptığı devri…
The Impact of the Balkan Wars on Ottoman History Writing: Searching for a Soul
Based on histories, accounts and articles published after the Balkan Wars, this article argues that, contrary to the commonly accepted thesis, the Balkan Wars did not mark the point at which Turkism became the dominant state ideology. There was in fact no clear-cut and definite shift toward Turkism at this point. Instead there was an increasing awareness of the need for a ‘common soul’ that would unite the population of the empire in the face of …
The Cambridge History of Turkey: Volume 2, the Ottoman Empire As a World Power, 1453-1603
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…
The Second Ottoman Empire: Political and Social Transformation in the Early Modern World * By Baki Tezcan
The discussion over the rise of new power centres within the Ottoman state establishment, which challenged the power of the sultan as a result of changing socio-economic conditions which struck the empire in the late sixteenth century, is not a new one in Ottoman studies. Taking the ulema and janissaries as new power centres, Baki Tezcan is thus not bringing anything new, as he himself acknowledges. Instead, he explains his book as ‘an effort to …
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…

Ottomans, Turks and the Balkans: Empire Lost, Relations Altered
The loss of the Balkans was not merely a physical but also a psychological disaster for the Ottoman Empire. In this frank assessment, Ebru Boyar charts the creation of modern Turkish self-perception during the transition period from the late Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic. The Balkans played a key role in identity construction during this period; humiliated by defeat, the Ottomans were stung by what they saw as a betrayal and ingratitude …
The press and the palace: The two-way relationship between Abdülhamid II and the press, 1876–1908
While Abdülhamid is usually represented as an extreme example of a ‘censorship sultan’, this article seeks to redress the balance and to present a more nuanced picture of Abdülhamid's relationship with the press. Based largely on archival material from Istanbul, the article investigates how press magnates sought to use their relationship with the palace in order to ensure their survival and to gain the concessions they wanted, and how, in turn, t…
Fin De Siecle Beirut. The Making of an Ottoman Provincial Capital * by Jens Hanssen
Jens Hanssen presents this book as an original approach to Ottoman provincial history and as a challenge to the established paradigms. However, it is neither original, nor are the paradigms that it attacks of particular relevance to an understanding of Beirut at the end of the nineteenth century. As he himself says ‘Neither the concept of Westernization nor national fulfilment were the driving forces of Beirut's late Ottoman history’ (p. 7). It i…
