The unravelling of these empires was both cause and consequence of World War I and resulted in the deaths of millions. It irrevocably changed the landscape of the Middle East and Eurasia and reverberates to this day in conflicts throughout the Caucasus and Middle East. Shattering Empires draws on extensive research in the Ottoman and Russian archives to tell the story of the rivalry and collapse of two great empires. Overturning accounts that portray their clash as one of conflicting nationalisms, this pioneering study argues that geopolitical competition and the emergence of a new global interstate order provide the key to understanding the course of history in the Ottoman-Russian borderlands in the twentieth century. It will appeal to those interested in Middle Eastern, Russian, and Eurasian history, international relations, ethnic conflict, and World War I. 517 3 $aClash and collapse of the Ottoman and Russian empires, 1908-1918 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zTurkey 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zRussia 606 $aGeopolitics$zCaucasus 606 $aGeopolitics$zEurasia 607 $aTurkey$xForeign relations$zRussia 607 $aRussia$xForeign relations$zTurkey 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yMehmed V, 1909-1918 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yRevolution, 1908 607 $aRussia$xHistory$yNicholas II, 1894-1917 607 $aRussia$xHistory$yFebruary Revolution, 1917 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aGeopolitics 615 0$aGeopolitics 676 $a940.3/56 700 $aReynolds$b Michael A.$f1968-$0475093 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824755103321 996 $aShattering empires$9246255 997 $aUNINA
