TO OTTOMAN SOCIAL HISTORY AND THE BIRTH OF MODERN TURKEY
HALİL İNALCIK LOOK…

Halil İnalcık, unquestionably one of the world's greatest names in the field of history, combines his works on Ottoman social history and the emergence of modern Turkey.

The first part of the book examines the land issue, the double-digit practice and the census issue, which formed the basis of the political and social system of the Ottoman Empire. Afterwards, it deals with archival documents regarding non-Muslim nations that were Ottoman subjects, the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Church, the special conditions of the Ottomans granting settlement rights to Sephardic Jews, the Turkish influence in the development of modern Europe, and the transformation of the sultan's power struggle with other centers of power in the political sphere.

The second part of the book sheds light on the transition process from Empire to Republic. In particular, his examinations of Turkey's strategic position between Europe and the Middle East and the relationship between the abolition of the Caliphate in 1924 and Atatürk's reforms show how important İnalcık is in research on the history of the modern Republic of Turkey.

From Empire to Republic is a go-to resource for both professional historians and history enthusiasts.
