内容説明
The Ottoman empire collapsed as a direct result of military defeat in World War I. But the proximate cause should not cloud other issues that led to its demise. A major threat to the security of Christendom until the 16th century, and a European as well as Eastern power until the 20th century, the Ottoman empire had become known by the 19th century as the "sick man of Europe". How valid is the sobrique? What forces were at work within the empire promoting cohension and economic, social, and political progress? Beyond the collapse itself, what did the successor states owe to their predecessor - both in terms of possibilities and problems bequeathed? This analysis examines all the issues and provides not only a portrait of an empire in its final half-century but illustrates the roots of subsequent developments in a region that stretches from the borders of Hungary to those of Iran.

内容説明
Here, historian Justin McCarthy tells the story of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and how this changed the lives of Slavs, Turks, Greeks, Arabs, and Armenians. The history has striking parallels, as well as direct links, to the crises in the Balkans today. For six centuries the Ottoman Empire united a diverse array of religious and ethnic groups, but its dissolution into distinct states left a tradition of nationalism and ethnic enmity in much of the Balkans and Middle East. In particular, the majority of the Muslim population of the Ottoman Balkans would never be integrated into the new states, as the 'national' characters of these states depended in part on the elimination of 'outsiders'. The new map of the Balkans and Middle East, which was largely the product of the victorious Allies after World War I, made little concession to practical concerns, such as access to seaports, or the rights of minorities. Only the Turkish Republic was able to thwart the plans of the conquerors by defeating military incursion.
Ideal for undergraduates in history and political science, "The Ottoman Peoples and the End of Empire" provides the historical background to one of the central conflicts of our time.
