Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dardanelles and Their Story The Significance of the Dardanelles When Turkey, egged on by Germany, blundered into war with the Powers of the Triple Entente, it was obvious that she was staking her continued existence as a nation on the result. It was equally certain that she presented the best object of attack among the hostile nations ranged against the Allied Powers. There was no surprise, therefore, when the official announcement was made in February that the forts of the Dardanelles had been attacked and bombarded by the fleets of the Allies, with the object of forcing a passage through the Straits and reducing Constantinople. Such an attack was possible only because of the remarkable naval strength of Great Britain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Dardanelles Classic Reprint written by Charles Edward Callwell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dardanelles World War. To become immersed in such comprehensive prob lems would involve a strategical disquisition concerning the Homeric struggle as a whole. So, when mentioning the relative weakness of the Allies' military forces committed to the Dardanelles enterprise, and the failure of the responsible rulers to despatch the reinforcements and the war material that were called for if the undertaking was to be successful, it will simply be assumed that the reinforcements and the war material could not be pro vided. The question whether they ought or ought not to have been provided will not be debated. To review a campaign at a stage when the available information concerning it is derived entirely, or almost entirely, from one only of the two contending sides, must ever be unsatisfying. We unfortunately are at present almost wholly dependent for informa tion as to what occurred upon documents and works emanating from the Entente side. No detailed accounts of the Operations are to hand from Teutonic nor yet from Turkish sources. The three published German brochures which do deal with the cam paign-their titles are given in Appendix I - are unconvincing and superficial efforts, and they manifestly were written with an eye to their effect upon the general public in Germany, while doing full justice to the valour and grit of the Turks. As Marshal Liman von Sanders observes in a signed Preface, dated the l5th of July, 1916, to one of them, Only when there shall no longer be need to conceal anything can the truth as to facts and numbers be told. Any narrative of the Dardanelles struggles written to-day for the benefit of friends at home can only serve to throw a passing light over what occurred, for it will not be possible to deal with events exhaustively. Some of the statements in these unpretentious works do, however, bear an almost unmistakable stamp of truth, and these add somewhat to our restricted knowledge of what went on in and behind the Ottoman lines. For all practical purposes however, this volume is to be regarded as written from the Allies point of view, and Germans and Turks are throughout called the enemy in its pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What of the Dardanelles?: An Analysis Is it Odd that they are bewildered? The censorship is responsible for the peculiar and wrong attitude of the people of England towards their army. The fighting force is regarded in the light Of a championship football team. It sports the colours and carries the hopes Of England, while the great mass of the nation acts the part Of audience. The army is treated as a detached organisa tion in which the man in the street has only the remote interest implied in paying taxes. In the present war this is woefully wrong. But the people are not to blame for such a point of view. It is not their fault if they are not alive to their responsibilities. The pernicious result can be laid to the charge Of the censorship.

Blockaded by the Allied fleets in the Adriatic, and by the British fleet in the Channel and the North Sea, they would have found themselves indeed surrounded by an iron ring, and, so far as prophecy was possible, it seemed likely that the terms which our Alliance openly professed as our objects in the war might have been obtained in the spring of 1916. The subsidiary and more immediate consequences of success in the Dardanelles, such as the supply of munitions to Russia, and of Ukrainian wheat to our Alliance, were also to be considered.

Download or read book Straits of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus written by Walter Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Straits of the Dardanelles, and the Bosphorus: The Right of Way Under International Law Nor does there seem to be much that is objection able in this arrangement, which has merely for its motive the restoration of the commercial relations which previously existed between the subjects of the Czar and of the Sultan; but the effect of all the stipulations of that treaty combined would be serious in the extreme, as it would make of the Black Sea a Russian lake, actually making it sub jcet to the rule of one despotic will, instead of placing it under the protection of a just and equal law. The Preliminary Treaty, however, is fortunately as yet wholly without juridical sanction, for although the war put an end to treaties as between the two belligerents themselves, yet, inasmuch as these belli gerents had some years ago entered into treaty engagements with other Powers, no new stipulations contravening those previous engagements can be valid until ratified by all the signatory Powers. It is obvious that Russia cannot plead special immunity from the observance of treaties, and, whilst herself flagrantly violating them, hold England bound toobserve every clause to the letter. Nevertheless this very Power, after menacing Constantinople with the presence of its armies, and thereby forcing the Government of this country to despatch the fleet into the Sea of Marmora, now ventures to com plain of that act as a contravention of the Treaties of 1856 and 1871, because, forsooth, it lacks the formality of a firman from the Sultan, although it is difficult to conceive how the Sultan could now be regarded as a sufficiently free agent to either give or to withhold his consent. In fact, in dealing with a State or person in such a condition of duresse as to amount to positive disability, consent to further the performance of all just and necessary acts, must be assumed, and therefore need not be required, and by the same deduction the English Government would be equally justified in ordering the fleet through the Bosphorus into the Black Sea.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inside Constantinople: A Diplomatist's Diary During the Dardanelles Expedition; April September, 1915 The writer of this journal had previously resided at Constantinople from 1906 to 1909, during the later years of Abdul Hamid's reign and the period of the Turkish Revolution, first as Secretary, and later as Councillor and Charge d'Affaires at the American Embassy. He left Constantinople in the autumn of 1909, Turcophile in his sympathies, sharing the enthusiasm of those who had witnessed the downfall of the Hamidian despotism and the birth of what they hoped would be a regenerated Turkey. He was sent there again early in 1915 by the Secretary of State as Special Agent to assist the Ambassador in the protection of the interests of the Entente - for the American Embassy was then in charge of the Allied interests, other than those of Italy, which had not yet entered the war, and Russia, both of which it subsequently assumed. He remained there until September of the same year, when he was sent to Sofia as American Diplomatic Representative in charge of British interests.
