Ottoman End: A Significant History

Ottoman End is the first and definitive, unified history of the fight for survival of the Ottoman Empire in the 20th century. It begins with Italy's invasion of Ottoman Tripolitania in September 1911, the Empire was in a permanent state of emergency, with almost all borders directly threatened. Faced with enemies from all sides, the Empire, which for generations had been considered a hollow shell, proved impressively resilient, repelling significant attacks on the French Army and in Mesopotamia, before finally being destroyed by the general calamity of the Central Powers in 1918.

Subsequently, as the Europeans planned to partition its countries among themselves and with Constantinople appearing powerless before the triumphant Alliance, a completely unexpected entity emerged: modern Turkey. Under the remarkable intelligence of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a strong new state emerged from the remnants of the Empire.

This is the first time an author has woven the entire epic story from start to finish, which will force many readers to fundamentally reassess their understanding of the conflict. The consequences, up to the 21st century, are of crucial importance, as countries such as Serbia, Greece, Libya, Armenia, Iraq, and Syria continue to live with them.
