The Period of Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire

Book Description of the Period of Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire Back Cover Article (From the Promotional Bulletin) In interstate politics, a falling state whets another state's appetite, not its pity; just as man is a wolf to another, the state is also a wolf to the state. "The Period of Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire" is a very striking work in terms of revealing how a magnificent and magnificent empire could not keep up with the needs of the age and became the targets of colonialist countries and how the central authority was weakened with the uprisings and rebellions that broke out inside. It clearly reveals what kind of affairs the Janissary Corps was involved in, forgetting its primary duty, and how the corrupt army of a state rose above its power. He explains in minute detail how the power turned into a shadow phenomenon in the face of the notables and the pashas who based their interests on the survival of the Janissaries. "The Period of Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire" is the name of the war of existence and extinction waged by the strategic management tradition against internal and external threats, together with its balance policy. This work, which describes how the reform activities undertaken by Sultan Selim changed the internal and external balances and what obstacles they hindered the ambitions of interest groups and foreign states, is nourished by the greatest historians of the period in terms of bibliography and comes to life with the spirit of a great historian, Yusuf Akçura. Considering that history is all about repetition, the Period of Disintegration of the Ottoman Empire is very important in terms of revealing what the requirements of becoming a state are and the problems the state culture faces in the name of existence and extinction, and shedding light on the period we are going through and the future by bringing these problems to the present day.
