Selanik 1850 - 1918

Thessaloniki 1850 - 1918 Book Description Thessaloniki, which remained under Ottoman rule for more than four centuries after the Byzantine and subsequent brief Venetian rule, was not just a cosmopolitan Balkan port city. A large Sephardic Jewish community lived here, which gave the city its dominant color. After 1850, Thessaloniki became the liveliest center of the Ottoman Empire. II. The process that would result in the declaration of the Constitutional Monarchy began here. In this book, you will find different perspectives and different sections about the period that was the "golden age" of Thessaloniki and the end of this period. "From the second half of the 19th century, Thessaloniki gradually became the most dynamic pole of a decaying Ottoman Empire, where reformers and supporters of the sultanate fought fiercely. As the crossroads connecting the East and the West, it opens up to the knowledge, techniques, thoughts and customs of modern Europe and emerges from its centuries-old dormancy and turns into a fiery construction site. Although different communities work in this construction area, the main craftsmen are reborn with a new education system dominated by French. They are Jews."-GILLES VEINSTEIN-(From the Promotional Bulletin) Number of Pages: 376Print Year: 2014Language: TurkishPublisher: İletişim Yayıncılık
