How to watch
This lecture starts on 19 September at 7:00pm (UK).
Summary
We will look at how the Ottoman Empire rose to the challenges of the modern world with transformations in politics, culture, and technology contrary to contemporary perceptions of decline and defeat. This lecture is one of a series under the title of “The Wars of Ottoman Succession, 1918–2024,” explaining how so many of today’s conflicts have a common origin emerging from the end of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War.
