    About this ebook

    Anyone who has studied the history of the Near East for the last five centuries will not be surprised that the Allied Powers have decided to put an end to the rule of the Turks in Europe, and their determination to conquer the Christian population and bring them to the Turkish Empire, whether in Asia or in Europe. The Turks were hopelessly unfit to govern, had no sense of justice, subject races of a different religion.

      Table of Contents

      No one who has studied the history of the Near East for the last five centuries will be surprised that the Allied Powers have declared their purpose to put an end to the rule of the Turk in Europe, and still less will he dissent from their determination to deliver the Christian population of what is called the Turkish Empire, whether in Asia or in Europe, from a Government which during those five centuries has done nothing but oppress them. These changes are indeed long overdue. They ought to have come more than a century ago, because it had then already become manifest that the Turk was hopelessly unfit to govern, with any approach to justice, subject races of a different religion. The Turk has never been of any use for any purpose except fighting. He cannot administer, though in his earlier days he had the sense to employ intelligent Christian administrators. He cannot secure justice. As a governing power, he has always shown himself incapable, corrupt and cruel. He has always destroyed; he has never created.

      Those whom we call the Turks are not a nation at all in the proper sense of the word.
