Turkey History

During 1915 to 1923, one and a half million Armenian people were deported and killed in the most appalling ways comprehensible. They were ripped from their homes (in a land where they had lived for longer than history can tell, a land so old that many speculate it was the site of the biblical Garden of Eden) and sent off on death marches across the blistering Syrian Desert. They were shot on the thresholds of the houses where they were raising their children. They were butchered with swords in gruesome ways in order to dishearten those left alive.

The year was 1922: World War I had just come to a close, the Ottoman Empire was in decline, and Asa Jennings, a YMCA worker from upstate New York, had just arrived in the quiet coastal city of Smyrna to teach sports to boys. Several hundred miles to the east in Turkey's interior, tensions between Greeks and Turks had boiled over into deadly violence. Mustapha Kemal, now known as Ataturk, and his Muslim army soon advanced into Smyrna, a Christian city, where a half a million terrified Greek and Armenian refugees had fled in a desperate attempt to escape his troops.

The Ottoman world was nothing like an exotic fairy tale featuring tyrant sultans, mean pashas, and ill-fated harem women. The true stories of genuine sultans and princes are a bit more complicated and no less exciting. Incredible facts about this empire still surprise anyone who starts discovering those stories. You’ll find out that, for quite a while, this Islamic state was effectively ruled by women, and that’s just the beginning.

Bu roman, kendilerini, varlığının her zerresi ile Devleti Ebed Müddet'e adamış Osmanlılar'ın, serhadherdeki hikayesini anlatır. Şahısların hemen hepsi birer adsız kahramandır. İmparatorluğa sadakat ve nefsini pervasızca feda edişlerdeki şaşırtıcı büyüklükler, mübalağa gibi görünebilir. Fakat, Avrupa'daki Türk ihtişam ve gücünü başka türlü izah etmek de mümkün değildir. Osmanlı, "Büyük Dava"sını ancak böylesine sarsılmaz bir iman, zeka ve hareket seli içinde hakim kılabilirdi. Romanın kuruluşu, olayların sıralanışı ustaca ve çarpıcıdır.

Balıkçı'nın kitaplaşmamış yazılarından derlenen bu yapıt, bir yandan yurdumuzun tarih, sanat ve uygarlığını sergilerken, öte yandan Anadolu birikiminin nesnel temellerine ışık tutuyor. Halikarnas Balıkçısı'nın birbirinden ilginç düşünce yazılarını bir araya getiren Merhaba Anadolu'dan tadımlık: “Anadolu'da açılan özel bankaların garip gelenekleri vardı. Bankalar şairlere bankalarıyla ilgili şiirler sipariş ederlerdi. Bu şiirler bankaların kapılarına asılırdı. Bu yolla bankaların sanatçılara da yardımları dokunurdu. Şimdi de bankaların sanatçılara yardımları olmuyor değil…”

Attilâ, Peyami Safa'nın yegâne tarihî romanıdır. Peyami Safa bu romanıyla, Attilâ gibi büyük bir Türk cihangirinin devrine ve kişiliğine ilk defa bir Türk gözüyle bakmış, Batı dünyasının “geçtiği yerde ot bitmez” diye karaladığı bir devlet adamı ve kumandanını Türk gözüyle tasvir etmiştir. Peyami Safa, Attilâ'yı yazarken yabancı kaynaklardan ve özellikle Bizans tarihçilerinin verdiği bilgilerden oldukça istifade etmiştir. Çelik iradeli, demir disiplinli bu Türk hakanının yalnızca bir devlet adamı ve kumandan olarak değil, şahsî ilişkilerde yumuşak huylu.

The images that are evoked when one speaks of the Ottomans in the West is, without fail, Muslims in prayer, harems of exotic women, eunuch guards, lavish palaces, and colorful fashions. All these things, without doubt, were indeed part and parcel of the Ottoman society and their royal court. Here we will dive into their world, their history, and their society. The rise and fall of the Ottoman juggernaut informs and influences the Middle East to this day.

In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the fourth century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late fifth century.

In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It would take repeated efforts by various European coalitions to prevent a complete Ottoman takeover of the continent, and one of the most important battles among those efforts took place at Vienna in 1529.

Over the course of just 200 years, the Ottoman Empire grew from a small, obscure Anatolian state into the most powerful Muslim nation in the world, controlling vast swathes of the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and North Africa. Within the empire, science, medicine, technology, and art flourished, and the Ottoman army became one of the most feared and efficient fighting forces in existence. Then came a period of gradual decline.

Where did writing, culture, and agriculture begin? The Middle East is the cradle of civilization - where humankind once roamed in small groups of hunter-gatherers and foraged for food and shelter, then learned to plant crops and build structures. Today, we are an advanced civilization that has conquered the skies, oceans, and even the moon. To understand how this transformation occurred, take a brief trip back into the history of the Middle East, where it all began.

Vom demokratischen Aufbruch zur Autokratie – über einen beunruhigenden Wandel. Seit seiner Machtübernahme 2002 hat Recep Tayyip Erdoğan einen radikalen Wandel in der Türkei eingeleitet. Das Land, das einst eine Säule des westlichen Bündnisses war, betreibt eine militaristische Außenpolitik, die sich von Bergkarabach bis Libyen in regionale Krisenherde einmischt. Sein früheres demokratisches Streben, u. a. um eine EU-Mitgliedschaft, ist einer gefährlichen Ein-Mann-Herrschaft gewichen.
