Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rule of the Turks at Constantinople: A Lecture Delivered in the Hall of the Winchester Mechanics Institute, on Wednesday, March 7th, 1877
The third period will extend from the peace of Kainardyi onwards. During this period the Empire has been gradually breaking up by one loss after another; while her history is not so much a history of Turkish affairs, as of the intrigues of those various European powers which have used her helpless condition to further their own policy and interests. The complexities of Turkish intrigue have been further complicated by intermixture with Russian, Austrian, French, and English intrigue and the popala lations of Turkey have been made the sport of foreign powers. As the history of this period is closely involved with questions of modern politics, I shall touch but lightly on it. But I am anxious that you should have sharply distinguished in your minds my three periods - the first down to 1566, a period of splendour and conquest the second from 1566 to 1774, a period of failure and increasing rottenness, - at first with some appearance of strength, but at last with acknowledged feebleness the third a period of dissolution, tempered by the protection of European intrigue.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a historical look at the rule of the Turks in Constantinople and the broader region of Eastern Europe. Beginning in the 1400s and continuing for over four centuries, the author examines the rule of the Turks, discussing the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 and the impact of the Ottoman Turks from the Balkans to the gates of Vienna, through the eyes of historians past and present. The author identifies a notable fracture in Ottoman power beginning in the late 1500s. The book continues to discuss how, in the 18th century, Russia began to exert influence over the region, resulting in a new era of Ottoman political realities, and the Empire's continuing decline and the resulting great power political struggles, which the author suggests are still ongoing.
