At the heart of the Crete Question, as it came to be known around the world, were clashing claims of sovereignty between Greece and the Ottoman Empire. The island was of tremendous geostrategic value, boasting one of the deepest natural harbors in the Mediterranean, and the conflict quickly gained international dimensions with an unprecedented collective military intervention by six European powers. Island and Empire shows how events in Crete ultimately transformed the Middle East. U?ur Zekeriya Peçe narrates a connected history of international intervention, mass displacement, and popular mobilization. The conflict drove a wedge between the island's Muslims and Christians, quickly acquiring a character of civil war. Civil war in turn unleashed a humanitarian catastrophe with the displacement of more than seventy thousand Muslims from Crete. In years following, many of those refugees took to the streets across the Ottoman world, driving the largest organized modern protest the empire had ever seen. Exploring both the emergence and legacies of violence, Island and Empire demonstrates how Cretan refugees became the engine of protest across the empire from Salonica to Libya, sending ripples farther afield beyond imperial borders. This history that begins within an island becomes a story about the end of an empire. 410 0$aStanford Ottoman World Series: Critical Studies in Empire, Nature, and Knowledge Series 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / Turkey & Ottoman Empire$2bisacsh 607 $aCrete (Greece)$xHistory$yTurkish rule, 1669-1898 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918 610 $aCrete. 610 $aOttoman Empire. 610 $aRefugees. 610 $acivil war. 610 $adisplacement. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $amigration. 610 $anationalism. 610 $aprotestors/protest. 610 $aviolence. 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / Turkey & Ottoman Empire. 676 $a940 700 $aPeçe$b U?ur Z$01827246 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911008425303321 996 $aIsland and Empire$94395345 997 $aUNINA
