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.

Narrated through the eyes of the intimates of Suleyman the Magnificent, the sixteenth-century sultan of the Ottoman Empire, The Lion House animates with stunning immediacy the fears and stratagems of those around him: the Greek slave who becomes his Grand Vizier, the Venetian jewel dealer who acts as his go-between, the Russian consort who becomes his wife. Christopher de Bellaigue tells not just the story of rival superpowers, nor of one of the most consequential lives in human history, but of what it means to live in a time when a few men get to decide the fate of the world.

Atatürk, 1918 yılında tedavi olmak üzere şimdiki adı Karlovy Vary yani 'Kralın Banyosu' olan, o zamanki adıyla Karlsbad'a uzun bir tren yolculuğu sonunda ulaşmıştı. Böbreklerinden rahatsızdı ve Karlsbad'da 30 Haziran'dan 27 Temmuz'a kadar kaldı. 27 Temmuz'da trenle Viyana'ya geçti. Karlsbad'da günlük tuttu ve bu günlükleri Afet İnan, 1931 yılında, tarih çalışmaları sırasında Atatürk'ün Çankaya'daki kütüphanesinde buldu.

Die Türkei wird zu ihrem hundertsten Geburtstag im Oktober 2023 Atatürk, den "Vater der Türken", feiern und zugleich–offiziell zumindest–Präsident Erdogan applaudieren, der eine Neue Türkei geschaffen hat. Günter Seufert und Christopher Kubaseck beschreiben eindrucksvoll, wie Erdogan das Land umpolt zu einem autoritären Staat, der sich nach innen zunehmend islamisch gibt, nach außen seine Einflusszonen vergrößert und keinen Konflikt scheut.

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.

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.

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.

The Crusades are one of those dark chapters in history that we would rather forget, especially religious people. In name of the church, or other religions, like the Muslim faith, people killed, destroyed, looted, and burned cities to the ground. There is nothing “holy” about attacking and plundering, yet this is what they did. In this book, we’ll explore some of the most important crusades everyone should know about. You will learn to understand better why people started them, what drove them to continue, and what ended them.

Even before World War II, there was a genocide. We are talking about the Armenian deportations that killed between one and two million innocent civilians, an atrocity the Turkish government still doesn’t fully acknowledge. At the time of World War I, the Armenian genocide led to the organized death of around one million ethnic Armenians. The Ottoman Empire was collapsing, and in a cruel act of desperation and vengeance, they decided to take out their empirical frustrations on the Armenians. It became one of the ugliest faces of the First World War in history.

It doesn’t seem like Enver Pasha was a good man. His war crimes caused the deaths of millions of innocent citizens. Sure, during a war and a collapsing empire, you try to do what you can to stop losing, but I doubt anyone in their right mind can justify his actions, which included the slaughter of minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War One, and even the Armenian Genocide. And to this day, the Turkish government is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the severity of that historical atrocity.

The Byzantine Empire has often been overlooked. Yet, this vast empire lasted for hundreds of years, and has had a major impact on world religions and politics, even into the past century. The Byzantine Empire was heavily influenced by the Romans, and Christian culture. Several centuries A.D., it was marked by conquests, emperors, rules, orthodoxy, and the giant capital of Constantinople (which is now Istanbul). They fought the Huns, and many other peoples, to maintain their lands and territories.

The Ottoman Empire was so big, and lasted for so long, yet, it is one of those empires that many common people have forgotten about. In the 20th century, World War I destroyed much of what was left of the empire, and the Turkish state and culture was being established shortly after that. In this comprehensive guide to understanding more about historical events, you will learn more about the sultans, and citizens of the Ottoman Empire - their drive, their background, and their accomplishments throughout the centuries.

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.

Suleiman was the most famous sultan of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. His reign meant an increase of interest in art, expanded regions under Muslim law, and hundreds of thousands of men employed in the army, ready to fight wars against surrounding nations. Political and law reforms took place, and in the matter of a short time span, much of the culture and society in the region had been changed.

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.

¿Sabía usted que el Imperio hitita una vez cubrió la mayor parte de la actual Turquía y Siria? Mucha gente podría reconocer su nombre en varias historias de la Biblia cristiana, pero los hititas también tenían toda una cultura e historia basada en su hogar en Anatolia. Esta antigua civilización fue una vez una potencia, un influyente de la religión, y un verdadero conquistador capaz de superar incluso a Egipto.

Во время набега на турецкий берег казак Грицко попадает в плен и оказывается на рынке рабов, а позже одним из гребцов на венецианской галере. Будет ли судьба благосклонна к несчастному пленнику, доведется ли ему еще ступить на родной берег? Узнаете из аудиокниги "Черные паруса".

Entre 1915 y 1923, un millón y medio de armenios fueron deportados y asesinados de la manera más cruel. Fueron arrancados de sus hogares (en una tierra donde habían vivido por más tiempo de lo que la historia puede decir, una tierra tan antigua que muchos especulan que era el sitio del jardín bíblico del Edén) y enviados a marchas de la muerte a través del abrasador desierto sirio. Les dispararon en los umbrales de las casas donde criaban a sus hijos. Fueron masacrados con espadas de maneras devastadoras para desanimar a los que quedaban vivos.

In 2019, Turkey’s incursion into northeastern Syria and acceptance of components for a Russian S-400 surface-to-air defense system brought bilateral tensions to crisis levels and contributed to the possibility of sanctions or other actions from Congress. Events in Syria and a 2016 coup attempt in Turkey appear to have led Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to act more independently from the United States and cultivate closer ties with Russia and its President Vladimir Putin.
