The siege of British Indian forces by the Ottoman Army at Kut-al-Amara n Iraq during the First World War, which ended on 29 April 1916 with the surrender of the garrison under the command of Major General Sir Charles Townshend, was an important mltary defeat for Great Britain. The article provides supplementary information on aspects of the 147day long siege and surrender, based mainly on the memoirs of the Turkish General H. K. Pasha, whose forces took well over 10,000 British Indian officers and men into custody at Kut-al-Amara.

Salih Zeki's Darülfünun Konferansları and his treatment of the discovery of Non-Euclidean Geometries Kadıoğlu, Dilek; Bağçe, Samet; Department of Philosophy (2013) This thesis examines Darülfünun Konferansları which consists of a series of lectures that were delivered by Salih Zeki in 1914 – 1915 in Ottoman State. These lectures were on geometry, its history and especially on the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries. And the purpose of this thesis is to propose the sufficiency and the legitimacy of these lectures as an account on the history of geometry. As a preliminary to analyzing Salih Zeki’s lectures, different views on geometry’s history and progress will be an...
A review of the Turco-Italian war of 1911-1912 and related letters of Enver Pasha Wasti, Syed Tanvir (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-01) From the time of the 1877 Turco-Russian war till its disappearance from the stage of history in 1922, the Ottoman Empire was involved in decades of almost continuous war – in Europe, on the Russian front and in the Middle East. The conflict with Italy of 1911–1912 was an example of how powers in decline are forced into war in the face of peremptory demands from stronger neighbours. Italy's unprovoked attack on the Ottoman provinces of Libya in North Africa paved the way for the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913 and ...
War and imperial capital: public order, crime and punishment in İstanbul, 1914-1918 Dölek Sever, Deniz; Ergut, Ferdan; Department of History (2015) The Great War was the last and the most important part of the series of wars that the Ottoman Empire had been involved in since 1911. This was also a total war, as the boundary between the front and home front became almost indistinguishable. Therefore, the Great War, which lasted four years, had a great impact on state-society relations in all belligerent countries. This study aims to examine state-society relations in the Ottoman Empire by specifically addressing wartime policies related to public order, ...
An Appraisal of Debates on the Turkish-Soviet Break-Up and Turkey's Reorientation to the West from a Systemic Perspective Akdan, Tolgahan (2020-03-03) This study seeks to examine how the mainstream and radical circles interpreted the developments in Turkish-Soviet relations starting in 1939 and the causes of Turkey's historical reorientation towards the Western alliance under the conditions of rising inter-systemic confrontation of the Cold War. This article suggests that both the mainstream and the radical circles have not adequately taken into consideration the fundamental changes in the international order in both pre- and post-war developments. It arg...
THE 'CELALI EFFECT' ON RURAL PRODUCTION AND DEMOGRAPHY IN CENTRAL ANATOLIA THE WAQF OF HATUNIYYE (1590s TO 1638) Orbay, Kayhan (Akademiai Kiado Zrt., 2018-03-01) The Celali rebel armies ravaged the central Anatolian countryside from the late 16th up to the mid-17th century. The Celali movements brought about demographic changes and had a long-lasting impact on agricultural economy in some regions. Anatolian waqf institutions being dependent on rural taxpayers and agricultural production for their budgets were seriously harmed by the Celali rebellions. This paper examines the Celali effect through the Waqf of Hatuniyye which had villages scattered across central Anat...
