The Young Turks;: The Committee of Union and Progress in Turkish politics, 1908-1914

History

Ahmad, Feroz

Middle East

Clarendon Press

First published in 1973, The Young Turks has become the definitive study of a group also known as the Committee of Union and Progress. Counting Turkish army officers among its members, the Young Turks sought to reform the Ottoman Empire by provoking a constitutional revolution against Sultan Ahmed Hamid II. Feroz Ahmad details the rise of the Young Turks, their challenge to the sultan, and the ensuing counterrevolution of 1909. He also includes a discussion of the Group of Saviour officers, who set out to destroy the Young Turks. The Ottoman armies routed the Unionists during the First Balkan War and inflicted great losses on them in Macedonia. Yet in 1913, the Young Turks regained power in a coup led by the charismatic Enver Bey. They then abandoned the idea of a union and pursued more moderate policies. Ahmad concludes with an examination of territorial losses and the impact of six years of war on the Ottoman state.

Turkey has the distinction of being the first modern, secular state in a predominantly Islamic Middle East. This is the result of the determination of succeeding generations of reformers to constantly remake their society so to withstand the challenge of an aggressive West. The 19th-century reformers hoped to do this by simply adopting western institutions. But their successors, the so-called Young Turks, realised that that was not enough and that the entire social structure would have to be transformed so that Turkey too could have classes like those of the advanced countries of Europe. Written at a time when the Turkish military has been playing a prominent poltical role, "The Making of Modern Turkey" puts this role in a perspective which challenges the conventional wisdom of a monolithic and unchanging army. After a chapter on "The Ottoman Legacy", the book covers the period since the revolution of 1908 examining the processes (political, social and economic) by which the new Turkey was formed. This book should be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and academics in politics, history and Middle Eastern studies.

The years 1908 to 1918 are frequently viewed as the period when the Ottoman Empire fell into decline, but in this volume, Feroz Ahmad argues that the Empire was not in decline but instead had come face to face with a widespread process of decolonization. Its colonies, stimulated by the idea of nationalism, sought to liberate themselves, sometimes with the help of the Great Powers of Europe, who in turn saw these rebellions as an opportunity to expand their own empires. While these ethno-nationalist movements have often been described in terms of Ottoman oppressor versus conspiring nationalists, here they are presented as part of a broad historical process. Ahmad holds that nationalism was introduced into the Ottoman Empire during the French Revolution, providing kindling for the struggles that later emerged. Setting the stage with this nineteenth-century background, Ahmad then examines each Ottoman nationality in the wake of the restoration of the Ottoman constitution in 1908. Officially known as the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), the Young Turks made up a nationalist political party that ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1908 until the end of World War I. Ahmad illuminates the relationships and conflicts between the Young Turks and the Greek, Armenian, Albanian, Jewish, and Arab ethnic groups during this period. Placing these nationalities in their historical context, he shows their relationships not only to the Young Turks but also to one anotherno other single book has attempted to look closely at all of these connections. Anyone interested in understanding the roots of current-day relations in the Balkans and Middle East will find this book very informative. Clearly organized and written, the book will enlighten both readers and scholars.

This book, first published in 1973, was regarded on publication as the definitive study of the 'Young Turks', or Committee of Union and Progress, the name given to a group of Turkish army officers who sought to reform the Ottoman Empire and who in 1908 led a constitutional revolution against Sultan Ahmed Hamid II. The author also discusses the counter-revolution of 1909 and the emergence of the 'Group of Saviour officers' who formed a cabinet determined to destroy the Young Turks. With the rout of the Ottoman armies in the First Balkan War and the loss of Macedonia, the Unionists, led by the charismatic Enver Bey, carried out a coup on 23 January 1913 and regained power. Thereafter they pursued a more moderate and conciliatory policy abandoning the idea of 'union'. The book concludes by examining the impact of territorial losses and of six years of revolution and war on the Ottoman state and society.
