In addition to recounting the international politics of the Great Powers that drew lines in the sand, contributors address topics ranging from the war's effects on women, the experience of the Kurds, sectarianism, the evolution of Islamism, and the importance of prominent intellectuals like Ziya Go?kalp and Michel 'Aflaq. They examine the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the exploitation of notions of Islamic unity and Pan-Arabism, the influences of Wilson and American ideals on Middle East leaders, and likewise the influence of Lenin's vision of a communist utopia. Altogether, they tell a story of promises made and promises broken, of the struggle between self-determination and international recognition."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aReconstruction (1914-1939)$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government$y20th century 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations$y20th century 615 0$aReconstruction (1914-1939) 676 $a940.356 702 $aFraser$b T.
