Download or read book From Berlin to Bagdad written by George Abel Schreiner and published by . This book was released on 1918 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Associated Press journalist Schreiner recorded his personal impressions and conversations with important political and social figures in the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of World War I, after covering the war from Constantinople. He was a witness to part of the Armenian massacre and thus provides firsthand information about that event, including at least one description of a large column of Armenian citizens on a forced march. He describes the personalities and opinions of such figures as Minister of the Interior Talaat Pasha, Minister of War Enver Pasha, and orator, reformer and feminist Hadileh Edib Hannym Effendi. Schreiner rides the Berlin-Baghdad railroad, devotes much space to discussing women in Turkey (much of the discussion comes from his conversation with Hadileh Edib Hannym), records opinions of WWI by minority Greeks and Armenians within the Ottoman Empire, and describes Germany's political presence in the nation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Berlin to Bagdad: Behind the Scenes in the Near East I spent nine months in warring Turkey as war and general correspondent of the Associated Press of America. In that capacity I described, anonymously - for that is the policy of this news-gathering organization - the operations of the Allied naval and military forces against the Dardanelles and the peninsula of Gallipoli. Later I had occasion to go toward Arabia. While on that trip I became an eye-witness to a part of what is now known as the Armenian crisis. During my stay at Constantinople I had an audience with the Sultan and was received, as occasion required, by the leaders of the Young Turk government - Prince Saiid Halim Pasha, Grand Vizier; Enver Pasha, Minister of War and Vice-Generalissimo of the Ottoman army; Talaat Bey, then Minister of the Interior and now Grand Vizier and Pasha. At the front I met Field-marshal Liman von Sanders Pasha, the man in charge of the defense of Gallipoli; Admiral-General von Usedom Pasha, who cared for the coast defense means along the Dardanelles; and many others.

WHEN THE ALLIED FLEET FOOZLED March 8th. THE bombardment of March 7th seems to have persuaded the population of Tchanak Kaleh that it would be best to go to other regions. The demolition of the bazaar and the cookshop by fragments of shell had given these people an inkling of what the effect of a square hit would be. There had been little response to the proclamation of the kaimmakam and Djevad Pasha, the commander of the Dardanelles. Much more was accomplished by the shells. F. Swing and I were hauled out of our beds at three o'clock in the morning by a tremendous babble under our windows. It was dark yet. A great crowd was surging about on the quay, however. Everybody was trying to get into the mahonies ahead of some one else. It seemed that of a sudden the population was gone mad. The stoical indifference of yesterday had disappeared. Most of the noise was being made by those about to embark, and much of it concerned the little baggage that could be taken along. It seemed hard to tell the bundles apart. Somebody would seize what did not belong to him or her and screams and expostulations would ensue. Knowing well enough that there would be no more sleep for us that morning, F. Swing and I got up, dressed, took breakfast, and then watched the migration. It was a motley crowd--Greeks, Turks, Armenians, and what not. Most of the women, regardless of race, wore pantaloons tied at the ankles and belt, a sort of blouse, also a shawl in case of the Christians; yashmak and feredcheh in the case of Moslems. There was an unkempt look about the women. I concluded that it was largely due to the circumstances under which they were leaving home, having had ample opportunity to observe that usually these women were rather tidy. The men made a better...

Download or read book Dismantling the Ottoman Empire written by Nevzat Uyanık and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to World War I, American involvement in Armenian affairs was limited to missionary and educational interests. This was contrary to Britain, which had played a key role in the diplomatic arena since the Treaty of Berlin in 1878, when the Armenian question had become a subject of great power diplomacy. However, by the end of the war the dynamics of the international system had undergone drastic change, with America emerging as one of the primary powers politically involved in the Armenian issue. Dismantling the Ottoman Empire explores this evolution of the United States’ role in the Near East, from politically distant and isolated power to assertive major player. Through careful analysis of the interaction of Anglo-American policies vis-à-vis the Ottoman Armenians, from the Great War through the Lausanne Peace Conference, it examines the change in British and American strategies towards the region in light of the tension between the notions of new diplomacy vs. old diplomacy. The book also highlights the conflict between humanitarianism and geostrategic interests, which was a particularly striking aspect of the Armenian question during the war and post war period. Using material drawn from public and personal archives and collections, it sheds light on the geopolitical dynamics and intricacies of great power politics with their long-lasting effects on the reshuffling of the Middle East. The book would be of interest to scholars and students of political & diplomatic history, Near Eastern affairs, American and British diplomacy in the beginning of the twentieth century, the history of the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East and the Caucasus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, in general studies of the First World War, the Middle East is an arena of combat that has been portrayed in romanticised terms, in stark contrast to the mud, blood, and presumed futility of the Western Front. Battles fought in Egypt, Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Arabia offered a different narrative on the Great War, one in which the agency of individual figures was less neutered by heavy artillery. As with the historiography of the Western Front, which has been the focus of sustained inquiry since the mid-1960s, such assumptions about the Middle East have come under revision in the last two decades – a reflection of an emerging ‘global turn’ in the history of the First World War. The ‘sideshow’ theatres of the Great War – Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the Pacific – have come under much greater scrutiny from historians. The fifteen chapters in this volume cover a broad range of perspectives on the First World War in the Middle East, from strategic planning issues wrestled with by statesmen through to the experience of religious communities trying to survive in war zones. The chapter authors look at their specific topics through a global lens, relating their areas of research to wider arguments on the history of the First World War.
