Adventure Young Turk
"We've healed the sick man. " (Enver Bey)
"I always consider one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life that I found myself in Constantinople in 1908 and have witnessed one of those rare moments where people really live. " (Harry Griswold Dwight)
Introduction
The author of what follows is facing a difficult task. How to defend a revolution to obloquy from all sides? Here, we describe Young Turks as infamous racist nationalists. There, as horrible fanatics Muslims. And finally here, as enemies of Islam born of a conspiracy "Judeo-masonry" spooky. From all sides, we refuse to analyze a phenomenon with the nuances necessary, we refuse to use the prism of cold rational analysis: outright lies, ignorance credulous approximations, confusion meet to create a curious and thunderous noise. In short, we refuse to consider, as any honest historian is expected to do so, the Young Turk revolution as an evolutionary process and a composite movement. It is important to thoroughly study this revolution, in that it takes a major role in the demonization of the device Turkey.
The author does not claim that this article would be neutral, he does not hide that he recognizes the aspirations of the Young Turks and was shocked at the misinformation stinker they are the targets: c is therefore a section "committed" and even animated by some spirit. He believes however that the text is rigorous and well-argued, backed with serious resources.
It is first necessary to reconsider the context preceding the onset of the Young Turks.
Next: The context of their appearance
