  • Journal of Anglo-Turkish Relations Volume 2 Number 2 June 2021
    Journal of Anglo-Turkish Relations Volume 2 Number 2 June 2021 Winrow, Gareth.1 Whispers across Continents: In Search of the Robinsons, (Gloucestershire: Amberley Publishing, 2019). 288pp. ISBN-13: 978-1445691398. Çiğdem Balım2 Whispers across Continents is the story of a family spread over England, India, Ottoman Empire, Germany and the United States, and the period covered is from the 19th century to early 20th. It starts with Spencer Robinson (1838-1889), who was a tenant farmer from East Keal in Lincolnshire. He migrated to India to become a tea farmer and also worked on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. After the death of his first wife, in 1880 he married Hannah Rodda (1854-1948), who was raised in the slums of London’s East End. Their son Ahmet (Peel Harold) Robinson (1889-1965) or Ahmet ‘Robenson’ was born in Bengal, lived in the Ottoman Empire and died in New York. He was one of the first goalkeepers for the Galatasaray football team, and he is also known as the person who introduced scouting and basketball to the Ottoman Empire. The German connection of the story is through Gertrude Eisenman, an ‘illegitimate ’daughter of Hannah before she met Spencer. Later Gertrude became a cult figure in Germany as a racing motor-cyclist and a car rally driver in late Wilhelmine Germany. Hannah plays the central role in the family history. Apparently very little was known about her real life, and what was known was misrepresented or distorted. For example, her son Ahmed claimed that she had some aristocratic connection, which could not be further from the truth.

Prof. Selçuk Akşin Somel Keywords: Ali Kemal; Armistice press; First World War; Liberal opposition; Sabah newspaper The First World War that lasted from 1914 to 1918 occupies an important place in Turkish History. However, in comparison with the Turkish War of Independence, Ottoman experience of the Great War remains a relatively under-researched area. The Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), which ruled the Ottoman Empire during the War, constituted a dictatorship and kept the opposition under strict censorship. During the armistice period, political pressure was lifted and the press became a platform for criticism about the wartime policies of the Unionists and its consequences. Therefore, this study primarily aims to analyze Sabah (from January 1920 onwards published as Peyam-ı Sabah), a leading newspaper of the opposition, with regard to its perspective on the War during the armistice period. The emphasis of the study will be on the editor-in- chief of the paper, Ali Kemal, an iconic figure of the period, who had been very influential especially in Sabah’s analyses regarding the War and the figures who were responsible in this debacle.

  • Founding the Republic
    chapter 5 Founding the Republic Ağaoğlu was arrested in Istanbul by the Ottoman police on January 15, 1919, and handed over to the British forces, being accused of crimes against the Armenians and other non-Muslims and his pro-German activities during the war.1 These he refuted repeatedly with the petitions he sent to the British High Commissioner.2 His wife Sitare Hanim, who was once described by a diplomat as a bluestocking, also wrote to the British, arguing that her husband was arrested purely as a consequence of intrigues worked out by personal hatred against him. “He had been given by General Thomson the permission to travel as Chief Delegate for the Azerbaijan Republic to the Paris Conference. On his return journey, he caught the Spanish fever and was lying down for two months in Constantinople. Before recovering from his illness he was imprisoned.”3 British authorities disregarded these petitions and considered Ağaoğlu to be “an extremely dangerous man” due to his pro-German and Pan-Islamist tendencies.4 According to British intelligence, he was of Jewish origin; he had been a member of Okhrana as agent provocateur at an early age and had studied in Moscow. He was also being accused of collaborating with Gökalp in arranging massacres in the Caucasus.5 No evidence I could find about any of these information on Ağaoğlu’s origins as put forward by the British intelligence, except, as shown previously, his pro-German and Pan- Islamist writings. After being kept in detention in Istanbul, Ağaoğlu was taken to Moudros and then to Malta where he spent about one and a half year in prison.
