I vårt mest inledande avsnitt hittills så påbörjar vi vår serie om Krimkriget i tre delar. Om du undrar vad Krimkriget var för någonting så var det en slags ICA basic-variant av första världskriget; präglat av inavlade officerare och halvrimliga beslut.Mattis inleder med att beskriva de löjligt komplicerade skälen till att nära nog hela Europa drumlade in i ett kontinentalt storkrig. Dessa inbegrep bl.a. svinrimliga klassiker i stil med gräl om hur diplomatiska noter skulle skrivas, vilken variant av kristendomen som skulle få dominera i Palestina plus The Eastern Question m.m. Därefter följer en genomgång av krigets aktörer där Mattis tar sig an bl.a. ryssarna (samma gamla vanliga) och fransmännen (uttrycket ”ärorik utrikespolitik” citeras). Per lägger å sin sida ut texten om brittiska armén (en kavalkad av stenlunga, reumatism och alkoholism) och sardinierna (klockorna stannar: en kompetent, välutbildad och motiverad italiensk armé).Dessutom: tsar Nikolaj I tycker att det är lugnt, kejsare Franz Josef tycker det är mindre lugnt, turkiska auxiliärtrupper, Sveriges anspråkslösa motkrav för att gå med i kriget, tsarens guldrum, en nedsabling av lord Wellington, Zouaves, britter som letar efter sin armé och mycket mer!

This talk considers British involvement in and attitudes towards Palestine during the so-called “Peaceful Crusade” of the nineteenth century. Polly presents aspects of his book Palestine in the Victorian Age, arguing that Britain's occupation, and the Zionist movement's settler-colonisation, were significantly prefigured by Victorian Britons. Drawing on Evangelical Christian discourses around the Holy Land and the Jewish people and the geopolitical rivalries of the Eastern Question, these individuals created expectations for Palestine's future which were then put into practice from 1917 to 1948 and beyond. Polley also undertakes a historiographical consideration of nineteenth-century Palestine. Narratives beginning in 1917 not only elide the longer role of Western imperialism in the Palestinian tragedy, but also fail to convey the social, economic and environmental conditions existing before colonisation, giving an impression – inadvertently or purposefully – of a land without a history, or as some would have us believe, without a people. This webinar is the first in a series of events organised by the CBRL Kenyon Institute marking the centenary of the British Mandate in Palestine (1922-1948). About the speaker: Gabriel Polley completed his PhD in Palestine studies in the European Centre for Palestine Studies, University of Exeter, in 2020. He previously studied the history of art and literature at the University of East Anglia, and Palestine and Arabic studies at Birzeit University, and taught in the West Bank, Palestine. He currently works in London in the translation and international development sector.

In the second year of the Great War, the British began to consider the future of the Middle East once the Ottoman Empire had been defeated. The Ottomans were proving to be far more effective fighters than the British had anticipated, but the discovery of oil at Mosul had made the control of the Middle East a priority. Prime Minister David Lloyd George summoned Sir Mark Sykes, a British diplomat and explorer to demonstrate how British and French ambitions in the region could both be accomodated. This is the first of several podcasts on the division of the Ottoman Empire after the First World War. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory. Hosted on Acast.

This week we get to the bottom of the 0th world war, better known as the Crimean War, despite not being fully centered in The Crimea, which was the extremely brutal clash between empires in a grim answer to what was known as "The Eastern Question." On one side were the unlikely allies of the British and French Empires teaming up to defend the lands of the Sick Man of Europe, the Ottoman Empire. On the other was the defiant newcomer to European colonialism, the Russian Empire, desperate to enter the world's stage as a competitor for economic power and glory. But what compelled the mighty British Empire, arguably at its prime, to team with ANOTHER Napoleon? Was it merely to protect the sovereign rights of the Ottomans, or did they have more sinister plans in store?

Episode 526 with Ozan Ozavci hosted by Zeinab Azarbadegan | How was European military intervention in the Ottoman Empire justified throughout the nineteenth century? What did Ottoman statesmen and subjects think of these would-be attemepts to provide them with more security? From the late eighteenth century, as a new international system was emerging, European powers considered the Ottoman Empire a weaker foil to their own expanding empires. In this episode, Ozan Ozavci explores how this perception of Ottoman weakness, known as the Eastern Question, affected the Ottoman Empire's place in and engagement with the new international system and law. Exploring the different phases of the Eastern Question, from the French invasion of Egypt in 1798 to the Civil War in Greater Syria durings the 1860s, Ozavci highlights agency of individual actors in the Ottoman capital and the provinces. « Click for More »

From Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Egypt in 1798 to the foreign interventions in the ongoing civil wars in Syria, Yemen, and Libya today, global empires or the so-called Great Powers have long assumed the responsibility to bring security in the Middle East.  The past two centuries have witnessed their numerous military occupations to 'liberate', 'secure' and 'educate' local populations. They staged first 'humanitarian' interventions in history and established hitherto unseen international and local security institutions.  Consulting fresh primary sources collected from some thirty archives in the Middle East, Russia, the United States, and Western Europe, Dangerous Gifts: : Imperialism, Security, and Civil Wars in the Levant, 1798-1864 (Oxford University Press, 2021) revisits the late eighteenth and nineteenth century origins of these imperial security practices. It explicates how it all began.  Why did Great Power interventions in the Ottoman Levant tend to result in further turmoil and civil wars? Why has the region been embroiled in a paradox-an ever-increasing demand despite the increasing supply of security-ever since?  It embeds this highly pertinent genealogical history into an innovative and captivating narrative around the Eastern Question, emancipating the latter from the monopoly of Great Power politics, and foregrounding the experience of the Levantine actors.  It explores the gradual yet still forceful opening up of the latter's economies to global free trade, the asymmetrical implementation of international law in their perspective, and the secondary importance attached to their threat perceptions in a world where political and economic decisions were ultimately made through the filter of global imperial interests.

with Paolo Girardellihosted by Emily NeumeierDownload the podcastFeed | iTunes | GooglePlay | SoundCloudIn the classical Ottoman period, European embassies in Istanbul pretty much looked like any other residential building. At the end of the eighteenth century, however, a period of dramatic geo-political and social change, official foreign residences likewise underwent a process of transformation. Architectural designs shifted from Ottoman to Western styles, and these landmarks became increasingly prominent and visible in the urban landscape. In this episode, Emily Neumeier speaks with Paolo Girardelli about how Pera became the “district of diplomacy” in the Ottoman capital, the subject of his forthcoming book project, Landscapes of the Eastern Question: Architecture and Identity in Galata, Pera, and the Bosphorus, 1774-1919.« Click for More »

Throughout the 19th Century Britain felt constantly threatened by and suspicious of Russia. Russian expansionism in the Balkans threatened Britain's ability to access the routes to her Indian Empire and the British were committed to supporting the weakening Ottoman Empire against Russian expansionism.

Audio revision looking at the 'Eastern Question' that affected the Balkans. Covers the impact of the Congress of Berlin in 1878, rising nationalism and Pan-Slavism in the Balkan states, the Bosnian Crisis of 1908-9, and the Balkan Wars of 1912-13.

During the nineteenth century, Great Britain and Russia engaged in what was termed the 'Great Game', which were confrontations in Central Asia and particularly on the north-west frontier of India. At the same time, they confronted each other over the 'Eastern Question' in the Mediterranean...
