Socialism and Nationalism in the Ottoman Empire

The role and share of ethnic and religious "elements" ("anasir") (for whom we did not use the term "minority" until the Treaty of Lausanne) in the birth and development of socialism thoughts and actions during the last quarters of the 19th century and the first quarters of the 20th century in Turkey. Until today, it has remained in the dark in the historiography of both our country and the world. From our perspective, the main reason for this is our lack of knowledge of the Balkan languages, Armenian and Judeo-Spanish. However, the non-Muslim Ottomans pioneered the spread of left-wing ideas and movements, as in almost all Westernization movements.
