  • Imperial Ghosts
    Colonial ideas, modern warfare: how British perceptions affected their campaign against the Ottomans, 1914-1916 by Cameron Winter A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Cameron Winter, April, 2017 ABSTRACT COLONIAL IDEAS, MODERN WARFARE: HOW BRITISH PERCEPTIONS AFFECTED THEIR CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE OTTOMANS, 1914-1916 Cameron Winter Advisor: University of Guelph, 2017 Professor R Worringer This thesis is an investigation of British campaign against the Ottoman Sultanate during the first two years of WWI. Despite Britain’s purported superiority in all things military and technological, the Ottomans dealt the British several stinging reverses at the Dardanelles and in Mesopotamia, culminating in the capture of a British division at Kut. It is the argument of this thesis that these failures on the part of the British were the direct result of Britain’s colonialist attitudes towards Muslims, and that a reading of both the secondary literature and available primary materials demonstrates this thoroughly. By examining memoirs, diaries, cabinet documents and minutes of War Council meetings, it becomes clear that Lord Kitchener, Winston Churchill, Austen Chamberlain, and other British leaders suffered from a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature of Islam and of the Ottoman Army, and that this misunderstanding underwrote all of their subsequent failures over the 1914-1916 period. iii Table of Contents Introduction: One Debacle

  • On the Hierarchy of Perpetrators During the Armenian Genocide Suren Manukyan
    ON THE HIERARCHY OF PERPEtrators DURING THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE Suren Manukyan Outlining organizers and perpetrators of genocides, as well as analyzing their roles in the process of mass killings are crucial for the study of particular cases of the crime. Genocide is first and foremost a political crime, which is masterminded by humans and is carried out by humans. To understand the machinery of the crime we have to learn the system of hierarchy inside its operating mechanism: from decision-makers to ordinary executioners and their proponents. This problem has remained somewhat out of the academic scope of the Armenian Geno- cide studies and has found itself in a specific perceptual trap of the belief that there is no need to study a subject as obvious as this. Surely, there have been researchers, which have reflected on the matter of identifying the felons; however, the system per se, its horizontal and vertical connections, from decision-making through execution has not been subject to academic scrutiny. The Encyclopedia of Genocide defines perpetrator as individuals, who “initiate, facili- tate, or carry out acts of genocide or crimes against humanity”1. These functions – the ini- tiation, facilitation, and implementation – to some extent describe the operational sequence of any genocide. Article 4 of the UN Convention on Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Geno- cide (adopted on December 9, 1948) defines the scope of complicity to the crime: “Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article III [of this Convention – S.M.] shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public offi- cials or private individuals.”2 At the court hearings against the Young Turks in 1919-1920, the offenders were classified into a similar hierarchal order.

For more information, please contact the Editor-in-Chief at [email protected]. THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: REVIEW OF ITS HISTORICAL, POLITICAL, AND LEGAL ASPECTS VAHAKN N. DADRIAN INTRODUCTION During World War I, the authorities of the Turkish Ottoman Empire carried out one of the largest genocides in world history, destroying huge portions of its minority Armenian population. That genocide followed decades of persecution, punctuated by two similar but smaller rounds of massacres in the 1894-96 and 1909 periods, which claimed two hundred thousand Armenian lives. In all, over one million Armenians were put to death during World War I. Adding to this figure are the several hundred thousand Armenians who perished in the course of the Turkish attempt to extend the genocide to Russian Armenia in the Transcaucus during the spring and summer of 1918, as well as in the fall of 1920 when Ankara's fledgling government ordered General Karabekir's army to "physically annihilate Armenia." The European Powers, who defeated the Turks time and again on the battlefield, were unable or unwilling to prevent this mass murder.1 Of even more consequence, they failed to secure punishment of the perpetrators in the aftermath of the war, despite the fact that they had publicly committed to doing so.

  • Between Death and Desertion. the Experience of the Ottoman Soldier in World War I1
    Erik Jan ZÜRCHER 235 BETWEEN DEATH AND DESERTION. THE EXPERIENCE OF THE OTTOMAN SOLDIER IN WORLD WAR I1 THE LIMITS OF THE SOURCES F or some twenty-five years now, in the large and flowering field of World War I studies, a certain approach to the history of the war has been popular; an approach which is epitomized by Martin Middlebrooks’ famous The First Day on the Somme (1971) and by the different works of John Terraine. This is the attempt to write the war’s social history, to concentrate on the war experience, viewing the experience of the First World War from below, through the eyes of the men who served in the trenches, the people who drove the ambulances, the women who filled the shells in the factories. In Europe, there is ample material available for this way of writing history: letters and diaries, stories, poems and paintings, autobiogra- phies and oral history. Where the Ottoman Empire is concerned, the sit- uation could not be more different and the reason is a simple one: the vast majority of the common soldiers of the Ottoman army were illiterate2. Even as late as 1927, four years after the establishment of the Turkish 1 Parts of this article have been presented as papers at the conference ‘The war expe- rienced’ in Leeds, September 1994 and at the 7th conference on the social and economic history of the Ottoman Empire in Heidelberg in July 1995.

The Prefiguration of Some Aspects of the Holocaust in the Armenian Genocide (Revisiting the Comparative Perspective) Vahakn N. Dadrian Zoryan Institute The field of genocide studies has been marked by a comparative tendency, while at the same time scholarship on the Holocaust has tended to focus on its singularity; the Armenian Genocide has often been treated as representing a ‘‘dress rehearsal’’ for the Holocaust. This article examines the parallels and commonalities, as well as the differences, between the two events, with a view to drawing them into a comparative perspective. More specifically, four major factors (vulnerability of the victim group, degradation of victims, war as opportunity, and fear of retaliation on the part of perpetrators) and three subsidiary factors (methods of extermination, disregard of economic factors, and terminological deflection) are examined with respect to both the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide.

  • Report on Turks Who Reached-Out to Armenians in 1915
    Writer and researcher: Ms. Burçin Gerçek TURKISH ResearchRESCUERS supervision: Prof. Taner Akcam Transcription of Ottoman archives documents: Ömer Türkoglu Report on Turks who reached-out to Armenians in 1915 An unchartered territory waiting to be discovered The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation and the Kaloosdian/Mugar Chair at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University join forces in a major research effort under the supervision of Professor Taner Akcam. This ambitious research project aims at identifying Turks and Kurds that reached out to the victims of the Armenian Genocide. The main mission of the IRWF is to unveil untold stories of rescue and solidarity. The issue of the Muslim rescuers who went out of their way to save Armenians at the beginning of the 20th century was not properly studied yet and, thus, is an unchartered territory waiting to be discovered. It is a great honor to join forces with Professor Taner Akcam, a world-renowned Turkish historian and sociologist who has devoted his efforts to try and reconcile the narratives of the Armenian and Turks, and his chair at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. This is a unique attempt to identify and honor the many Turks and Kurds that lent a hand to their Armenian neighbors in one of the darkest periods of mankind. The Wallenberg Foundation does the same concerning the Holocaust. Rather than focusing on the evil, our NGO strives to highlight the spirit of solidarity of the women and men who, like Raoul Wallenberg, oftentimes risked their own lives to save others.

  • America and the Armenian Genocide of 1915
    This page intentionally left blank America and the Armenian Genocide of 1915 Before Rwanda and Bosnia, and before the Holocaust, the first genocide of the twentieth century happened in Turkish Armenia in 1915, when approximately one million people were killed. This volume is the first account of the American response to this atrocity. The first part sets up the framework for understanding the genocide: Sir Martin Gilbert, Vahakn Dadrian, and Jay Winter provide an analytical setting for nine scholarly essays examining how Americans learned of this catastrophe and how they tried to help its victims. Knowledge and compassion, though, were not enough to stop the killings. A terrible precedent was born in 1915, one which has come to haunt the United States and other Western countries throughout the twentieth century and beyond. To read the chapters in this volume is chastening: the dilemmas Americans faced when confronting evil on an unprecedented scale are not very different from the dilemmas we face today. is Professor of History at Yale University, a former Reader in Modern History at the University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge. He is the author of many books on the First World War, including Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning: The Great War in European Cultural History and, with Jean-Louis Robert, Capital Cities at War: Paris, London, Berlin 1914–1919.

    Volkan MARTTİN Tarih İncelemeleri Dergisi XXXIII / 1, 2018, 69-89 HALİL PAŞA’NIN HATIRALARININ TARİHÎ KIYMETİ Volkan MARTTİN* Öz Tarih araştırmalarının kaynakları arasında hatıraların farklı bir yeri vardır. Renksiz anlatımlara sahip arşiv belgelerinin suskun kaldığı durumların açıklığa kavuşturulmasında hatıralar önemli roller üstlenmektedir. Osmanlı Devleti’nin son zamanlarına ve Türkiye’nin Millî Mücadele Dönemi’ne ait olaylar ile kişilerarası ilişkileri daha iyi görmek ve anlamak adına Halil (Kut) Paşa’nın hatıratı büyük bir boşluğu doldurmaktadır. Halil Paşa’nın atılgan ve cesur kişiliğiyle cepheden cepheye koşarak büyük fedakârlıklarla yerine getirdiği vatan hizmeti bütün açıklığı ile hatıralarda ortaya çıkmaktadır. 1967 yılından itibaren çeşitli zamanlarda yayınlanan, Kûtü’l- Amare Zaferi’nin 100. Yılı münasebetiyle yeniden gündeme gelen Halil Paşa’nın hatıralarının farklı baskıları mevcuttur. Bunlar arasında Akşam gazetesinde tefrika halinde yayınlanan hatıraların daha değerli olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Başta askerî olmak üzere tarihin çeşitli kısımlarına kazandıracağı önemli ayrıntılar nedeniyle Halil Paşa’nın hatıraları yeniden değerlendirilmelidir. Bu sayede Trablusgarp, Balkan Savaşları, Birinci Dünya Savaşı ve Türk Mücadele tarihleri daha ayrıntılı ve renkli olacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Halil (Kut) Paşa, Osmanlı Devleti, Hatırat, Kutü’l-Amare Zaferi.
