The Ottoman Empire was one of the main belligerent Powers in the First World War which ended the long nineteenth century and ushered in the modern era. Indeed, it would not be wrong to say that the Empire was among the major six Powers that fought over four years. The Ottomans fought at no less than twelve fronts in a vast geography extending from European theaters like Galicia to Mespotamia and the Canal. The war at the Caucasus and the abortive Allied landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula directly affected the causes of the October Revolution in 1917. The Ottoman Empire sued for armistice only ten days before Germany did so. Moreover, the results of the Ottoman engagement deeply affected the ...
“The war to end all wars” rings out a bitter mockery of the First World War, often viewed as the seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century, the crucible from which Soviet, Fascist, and Nazi dictatorships emerged. Today’s conventional wisdom is that the Great War attuned the world to large-scale slaughter, that post-war efforts directed by the Treaty at Versailles were botched, that unbridled new nationalisms made the Second World War inevitable. This provocative book refutes such interpretations, arguing instead that the first two decades of the twentieth century—and the First World War in particular—played an essential part in the construction of a peaceful new order on a globa...
This book discusses the subject of pathways to a sustainable economy through science and technology innovations which are regarded as the important components of the ‘4th Industrial Revolution’. The volume has been developed from Bangladesh’s ‘Vision 2041’ agenda which includes development actions needed to catch up with more developed nations. Most importantly, the goals of the ‘Vision 2041’ have been taken from the dreams of the architect of independent Bangladesh, Bangabandhu (Friends of Bengal) Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. His dream was to make Bangladesh the Switzerland of Asia. The Father of Bangladesh Nation was killed by assassins’ bullets along with his most of the family ...
In Dark Pasts, Jennifer M. Dixon asks why states deny past atrocities, and when and why they change the stories they tell about them. In recent decades, states have been called on to acknowledge and apologize for historic wrongs. Some have apologized, while others have silenced, denied, and relativized past crimes. Dark Pasts unravels the complex and fraught processes through which state narratives of past atrocities are constructed, contested, and defended. Focusing on Turkey's narrative of the Armenian Genocide and Japan's narrative of the Nanjing Massacre, Dixon shows that international pressures increase the likelihood of change in states' narratives of their own dark pasts, even as domestic considerations determine their content. Combining historical richness and analytical rigor, Dark Pasts is a revelatory study of the persistent presence of the past and the politics that shape narratives of state wrongdoing.
“Bu kitabı yazarken haddimizi kendimiz tayin ettik. Bizi hadsiz bulacakların bize tayin edecekleri haddi umursamadık. Bu kitap niçin yazıldı? Tüm insanlığın katili, cani küresel ezoterik çetenin ifşa edilmesi gerekiyordu. İnsanlıkla kedinin fare ile oynadığı gibi oynayan bu Çıfıt, yani şeytansı örgütün haklılıkla kuşatılıp mahkûm edilmesi elzemdi. Türk devletlerinin bu Çıfıtlığın zebunu olarak nasıl çöktüklerini, yönetimlerinin hangi sebeplerden ötürü vesayet altına girdiğini ve vesayetin esaretinde nasıl bir zillet yaşandığını; vesayetten çıkma çabalarını, mücadelesini, özellikle genç nesillere anlatmak için bu kitabı yazdı...
Bu ülke, 1914 Ağustosu’nda bir mukadderat anına varmış olarak, kaçınamayacağı bir ölüm kalım mücadelesine çağrılmıştı. Türkiye, Avrupa tarihindeki bu en şekillendirici ve büyük mücadelenin altı ana muharip taraflarından biri olmakla kalmamış, savaşın sonuçlarına da çok önemli bir etki icra etmiştir. O noktaya nasıl ve nerelerden geldiğimizi unutup da, bugün için anlamlı bir konuşma yapamayız. Geçmişin ve göçüp gitmiş o nesillerin acılarını hissedemez, içinden çıkamadıkları ikilemlerini de anlayamayız. Bütün bu dönemi özensiz ve bilgiden yoksun şekilde ele almaya hakkımız yok. Mesele, tarihimizdeki bu en kritik dönemi kendi ş...
