Sevtap Demirci explores British public opinion of the Ottoman Empire during its two major international crises, Bosnia-Herzegovina (1908-9) and the Balkan Wars (1912-1913). These, along with the Ottoman-Italian war in Libya, were the final events which would occur before the Ottoman Empire decided to join the Central Powers in the First World War. Together they reduced the size of the Ottoman Empire in Europe to almost nothing. Public opinion in Britain had, in the 19th century, turned negatively against the Ottoman Empire on several occasions. In this book, Demirci assesses how the two early-twentieth century crises were received in Britain. The importance of the study lies in the increasing effect of public opinion on the formation of policy in Britain. Demirci ties her findings in with the evolution of British newspapers as a means of reaching the masses, something which accelerated in the years before the crises.
