He examines the Ottoman Empire and its decline, the rise of modern Turkey under Ataturk, and the challenges and opportunities facing the country in the 20th century.Throughout the book, Toynbee offers his insights on the social, economic, and political factors that have shaped Turkey's past and present. He also provides a glimpse into the future of the country, discussing the challenges it faces in a rapidly changing global landscape.Overall, ""Turkey: A Past And A Future"" is an insightful and thought-provoking book that provides a deep understanding of Turkey's rich history and its potential for the future. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and culture of this fascinating country.The Young Turks were not Nationalists from the beginning; the ""Committee of Union and Progress"" was founded in good faith to liberate and reconcile all the inhabitants of the Empire on the principles of the French Revolution. At the Committee's congress in 1909 the Nationalists were shouted down with the cry: ""Our goal is organisation and nothing else[3]."" But Young Turkish ideals rapidly narrowed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
