Turkey History

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.

Кавказская война в отдельных очерках, эпизодах, легендах и биографиях - фундаментальный труд выдающегося военного историка, генерала русской армии Василия Александровича Потто. В четвертый том вошли события Турецкой войны 1828-1829 годов.

Sorto nel XV secolo sulle rovine dello stato selgiuchide e di Bisanzio, l'impero ottomano si estende rapidamente sino alle frontiere dell'Austria-Ungheria, in Medio Oriente e nell'Africa settentrionale. Questo volume ne ripercorre la storia politica dalle origini all'apogeo, e poi fino alla sua disgregazione, cominciata già nel XVII secolo e consumatasi nel corso dell'Ottocento, con il risveglio dei nazionalismi balcanici e sotto la spinta imperialista delle nuove potenze industriali.

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.

Ancient Turkey was a land of myth and mystery, but its secrets are slowly being uncovered. Find out about the legendary cultures that left their mark on this unique region, and discover which stories are fact and which are fiction. The history of ancient Turkey is important since it gives insight into what Anatolia was like before the Roman and Byzantine Empires, but much of the information has been buried by time.

Se Atatürk volle una Turchia laica e occidentale, oggi Erdogan va nella direzione opposta. Il paese sta assistendo infatti a una rapidissima reislamizzazione, segno che ottant'anni di laicismo di stato non hanno mai scalfito davvero l'islamismo delle masse. Dopo il recente golpe mancato, impadronitosi di ogni apparato statale, abbandonato ogni discorso europeo, Erdogan mira a far diventare la Turchia leader di un'area vastissima (che ricalca quella dell'antico impero ottomano) e paese guida dei sunniti.

This book tells the stories of the Muslims, Christians, Jews and others who made a courageous stand against the mass slaughter of Ottoman Armenians in 1915, the first modern genocide. Foreigners and Ottomans alike ran considerable risks to bear witness and rescue victims, sometimes sacrificing their lives. Diplomats, humanitarians, missionaries, lawyers and other visitors to the Empire stood up, including Tolstoy's daughter, Alexandra; Raphael Lemkin, the jurist who first established genocide as an international crime; and the polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen.

The beginning of modern Europe was a time of confusion, excitement, suspicion, hope, despair, and ideas. It was a time of a lot of change spread out over just a few hundred years, but the end result was a completely different world than the one that had come before it. This audiobook includes details of the transition from the Middle Ages to the early modern era, where Europe saw significant shifts across the continent in phases.

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.

Die Rolle des Osmanischen Reiches in der Weltgeschichte – von einem kleinen türkischen Fürstentum zu einer globalen Supermacht – ist unbestreitbar. Über sechs Jahrhunderte lang war das Reich das wohl stärkste muslimische Imperium der Welt und beherrschte seine Rivalen in Europa und Asien über viele Jahre hinweg.

El Imperio Otomano se alió con Alemania y Austria-Hungría en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Esto resultó, entre otras consecuencias catastróficas, en la guerra que duró dos años más de lo que debería, las dos revoluciones rusas de 1917 y la dictadura bolchevique, el genocidio del pueblo armenio, quince millones de muertos y el desmembramiento del Imperio Otomano, con el nacimiento de una miríada de nuevos Estados en Oriente Medio cuya inestabilidad social, económica y política sigue sin resolverse un siglo después.

Atatürk'ü en doğru ve en yalın biçimde herkese anlatabilecek tek kitap: Dersimiz: Atatürk. Tarih, savaşlarda düşmana galip gelen büyük komutanlarla dolu. Tarihte milletlerini daha ileriye götürmek için çalışan birçok önemli önder var. Ama hiçbiri Atatürk gibi anılmıyor, özlenmiyor. Tarih sayfalarında uyuyorlar. Çünkü aralarında Atatürk gibi hem vatanını düşmanlardan temizleyip yeni bir devlet kuran, hem milletini sömürüden, hurafelerden, ortaçağlılıktan kurtarıp çağdaş uygarlığa kavuşturan biri yok.

You are in luck, because you are getting extra material out of this combo. The following topics are going to be addressed: the Akkadian Empire, one of the oldest civilizations we know of, dating back to a few thousand years BC; the Byzantine Empire, a vast empire that lasted for hundreds of years and has had a major impact on the world religions and politics even into the past century; the Mongolian Empire, which was not to be trifled with; and the Ottoman Empire, which was so big and lasted for so long, yet it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about.

In the last year, Egypt has undergone a revolution that expelled its authoritarian leader of nearly 30 years, and implemented elections that have pitted the Egyptian military in a power struggle with the Muslim Brotherhood, the long-time Islamic opposition group with ties to Hamas and elements of al-Qaeda. Making everything that much more surreal, the events have played out before well placed television cameras with continuous "real time" coverage of the revolution, and ongoing turmoil, and foreign nations around the world eagerly await or dread the end result.

Per dieci secoli Costantinopoli è stata l'altra Roma. Poi, in una giornata di primavera del 1453, tutto è cambiato. Roma s'inabissava, nasceva Istanbul. Una città eterna, prodigiosa, inquieta. Un luogo del mondo dove è possibile incrociare le storie di imperatrici belle e crudeli, di sultani folli e saggi, di schiave e avventurieri. Storie piccole e grandissime ritrovate e raccontate da un autore capace, come raramente accade, di fondere in un unico sguardo sapere e meraviglia.

Elvan Pektaş Deniz’in, Mustafa Kemal’in kaleminden yazılmış mektuplar şeklinde, onun sözlerine sadık kalarak aktardığı bir kitap Yarın Cumhuriyeti İlan Ediyoruz! Her yaştan okuru, İzmir’in kurtuluş heyecanından Cumhuriyetin kuruluşuna kadar olan sürece tanık olmaya çağırıyoruz.

Istanbul, com'è stata chiamata fin dalla conquista ottomana del 1453, ma com'è denominata ufficialmente solo all'indomani della Prima guerra mondiale. "Nèa Ryme", Nuova Roma, secondo il suo nome ufficiale. Costantinopoli, il suo vero nome, da sempre e per sempre. Un nome che evoca immagini mirabili: il sogno dell'Oriente, le lontananze raggiungibili attraverso il Bosforo e l'Anatolia. Le moschee, gli harem, i sufi danzanti, gli aromi dei bazar. Da mezzo millennio l'Europa identifica in quella sola città il prezioso anello di congiunzione fra l'antichità perduta e la modernità.

En términos de geopolítica, quizás el acontecimiento más importante de la Edad Media fue el exitoso asedio otomano a Constantinopla en 1453.
