| Abstract | The Armistice of Mudros was signed on 30 October 1918. On the morning of 13 November 1918, a mighty fleet of battleships from Britain, France, Italy, and Greece sailed to Istanbul, and dropped anchor without encountering resistance. This day marked the beginning of the end of the Ottoman Empire, a dissolution that would bring great suffering and chaos, but also new opportunities for all Ottomans, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. Drawing upon a previously untouched collection of Armenian and Ottoman Turkish primary sources, the author considers these understudied post-war years. Examining the Armenian community as they emerged from the aftermath of war and genocide, the author outlines their shifting political position and the strategies they used to survive this turbulent period. By focusing on the Ottoman Armistice (1918-1923), the author illuminates an oft-neglected period in history, and develops a case study for understanding the political reactions of ethnic groups to the fall of empires and nation-states. -- Provided by publisher. |
