Stateless Revolutionaries and the Aftermath of the Ottoman Great War
Commonplace European and American impressions of the Middle East focus on disorder and violence. But the Ottoman nineteenth century was less violent than in much of Europe or America. People everywhere experienced the emergence of the modern state and its claims on their resources...
Education in the Ottoman Empire has long attracted scholarly interest. Many studies have focused on missionary education or Ottoman civil education. The place of military education, by contrast, has been generally missing from the story of late Ottoman modernization. This chapter shows Ottoman military education deserves a huge explanatory role in...
The foundations of both Arab and Turkish nationalism lay in the late Ottoman mass education and conscription project and in the region-wide struggle against colonial rule in the 1920s and 1930s.
