The history of the Eastern Question, the complex contradictions between the Great Powers, the national liberation movements associated with the collapse and legacy of the Ottoman Empire between the end of the 18th century and World War I "are part of our national history." There is no more comprehensive study and description of this period of our history in our historiography. This work is based on a large number of the most important documents and real historical facts characterizing that time. There is reason to believe that it is a true and accurate interpretation of a particularly important and recent part of our nation's history. For this reason, this book provides justification and a real barrier against attempts to politically rewrite our history.
