9781333457907: Turkey's Fall the Decline of England

Synopsis

This book examines the relationship between England and Turkey during the mid-1800s. The author contends that the role of bondholders was pivotal in shaping the regenerating of Turkey as a nation. This book draws on historical sources like newspapers, journal articles, and diplomat communications to reveal the machinations of European imperialists and the Turkish government. The author posits that lending practices on the part of England created an environment of uncertainty that shaped the political dynamics of the region and influenced the decisions of geopolitical actors in unpredictable ways. This text shows the policies of the period were more complex than narratives of the era would have us believe. If Turkey were to accept these loans, it could never hope to pay them off. The author argues that the ruling class of Turkey knew this but accepted them anyway, squandering the money on personal projects and vanity schemes. This book presents a detailed examination of how the domestic policies of a nation can be shaped by external actors, and how individual greed can create devastating outcomes for millions.
