THE LAST DAYS OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE
The Ottoman Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan, as Caliph, the successor of Mohammed. Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914 doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia. 16 pages of photos, some in color.
