The Conquest of Turkey is a historical account of the decline and eventual fall of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century. Written by Linus Pierpont Brockett, the book chronicles the events leading up to the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, which ultimately resulted in the loss of Ottoman territory in the Balkans and the establishment of several independent states. Brockett provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the decline of the Ottoman Empire, including corruption, weak leadership, and the rise of nationalism among the empire's subject peoples. He also examines the military strategies and tactics employed by both the Ottoman and Russian armies during the war, as well as the impact of international diplomacy and alliances on the conflict.Throughout the book, Brockett offers insights into the cultural and religious complexities of the Ottoman Empire, including the tensions between the Muslim ruling class and the Christian minority populations. He also highlights the role played by individual leaders, such as Sultan Abdul Hamid II and Russian Tsar Alexander II, in shaping the course of events.Overall, The Conquest of Turkey is a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal moment in world history, shedding light on the complex dynamics of empire, war, and diplomacy in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
