    Downloaded by [New York University] at 19:26 03 December 2016 THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN The war against the Ottomans, on Gallipoli, in Palestine and in Mesopotamia was a major enterprise for the Allies with important long-term geo-political consequences. The absence of a Turkish perspective, written in English, represents a huge gap in the historiography of the First World War. This timely collection of wide-ranging essays on the campaign, drawing on Turkish sources and written by experts in the field, addresses this gap. Scholars employ archival documents from the Turkish General Staff, diaries and letters of Turkish soldiers, Ottoman journals and newspapers published during the campaign, and recent academic literature by Turkish scholars to reveal a different perspective on the campaign, which should breathe new life into English-language historiography on this crucial series of events. Major (Ret.) Metin Gürcan is a visiting research fellow at the Changing Character of War (CCW) programme in Oxford University and a PhD candidate at Bilkent University, Turkey, studying change in the Turkish military and the changing nature of warfare in the twenty-first century.

  • Gallipoli in the First World War*
    Gallipoli in the First World War* Prepared by Prof. Dr. Recep Boztemur Middle E ast T echnical University * Text and some pictures are quoted from www.canakkale.gen.tr 77 THE FIRST WORLD WAR In the beginning of the 20th century, Europe was overflowing from its frontiers. Economical rivalry, imperialism, and nationalist movements were dividing the continent into two blocs. The conflict was rising between Germany-France and Russia-Austria. The tension in Europe had reached its highest point on 28 June 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, heir of the Austro-Hungarian throne by a Serbian nationalist. On 28 July 1914, Austria had declared mobilisation then the Great War began. In Europe, two blocs had appeared: the Central Powers (Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy) and the Triple Alliance (Britain, France, and Russia). With the outbreak of the war, Italy had declared neutrality but one year later joined the Triple Alliance. On the other hand, the Ottoman Empire was losing its large territories in which many nations and beliefs had persisted for over 600 years. Both internal and external conflicts and wars were weakening the strength of the Ottoman Empire. Finally, the Ottoman Empire, with a series of military defeats in Tripoli and in the Balkans, lost nearly all its territories in Europe except the Trace. Moreover, it lost its power and international prestige. From then on, the death of the empire was certain and European powers were planing to share the heritage. As seen, the Twentieth Century had compelled the Turks to grant zones of influence to European powers: Britain (Egypt-Palestine), France (Syria and the Lebanon), Austria-Hungary (Bosnia-Herzegovina), and Italy (Libya).

  • Dardanelli Silvia Pedone
    1. Name: Dardanelles / Hellespontos I. Current name: Çanakkale Boğazı II. Ancient name: Δαρδανέλλια (Dardanellia) or Hellēspontos (Hellespontus, Hellespontium Pelagus, Rectum Hellesponticum, o Fretum Hellesponticum) III.Medieval name: Dardanellia IV.History of the The ancient name Hellēspontos (Hellēs’s Sea) derives from the name: name of Hellē, the daughter of Athamas, king of Boeotia. According to the myth of Jason, Hellē drowned in the sea of the strait as she was escaping to Colchis, together with her brother Phrixus, to avoid the machinations of her stepmother, Ino, who hated them and wanted them dead. The name Dardanelles is derived from the city of Dardanus, or Dardania, on the Asiatic shore of the strait, in the Troad, so named in turn after Dardanus, the son of Zeus and Electra. TITLE: 2.

Current In many of the cities situated along the strait the remains of the condition: ancient foundations still survive, and wide areas on the coast are still untouched or only partially affected by local tourism. Instead, the most important centers, like Çanakkale or Gallipoli (Gelibolu), underwent a complex stratification due to historical events and the urban growth. So the modern structures progressively absorbed the ancient remains. Nowadays these cities preserved their leading role within the political and economical scene of the modern states as well as their strategic position for the trade between the two continents. 5. History: Dardanelles has a very long history, and its legendary origins are deep rooted in ancient and Greek mythology.
