Description

War and Collapse is the third volume in a series that covers the last years of the Ottoman Empire.

It stems from a three-day international conference at which scholars examined the causes and consequences of World War I, with a focus on how these events pertained to the Ottoman state and society.

Fifty-three scholars-both new and established-contributed to this collection, explaining what happened within the Ottoman Empire before and during WWI and how ethnic and national groups constructed these events to enhance their identities and promote their interests. The chapters provide insight into the mindsets of Ottoman peoples, showing how earlier events and circumstances set in motion Ottoman responses to the war and how continued conflict had devastating, irreversible effects on Ottoman society.

What emerges is a comprehensive picture of the events, encompassing a wide variety of perspectives.
