About This Book

The book offers a concise survey of the Ottoman realm, combining geography and resources with political history to explain the empire's unique governmental structure centered on the sultan and the pressures for change. It outlines the variety of racial and religious communities, treats the Armenian and Muslim populations in separate chapters, and examines relations with Western powers. It presents missionary activity as a strategic cultural influence, describes reforms in education, printing, and medicine, and traces an intellectual renaissance that fostered constitutional and social reforms. The concluding chapter considers the emergence of constitutional government and its implications for toleration and international questions.
