A rigorous work of diplomatic and imperial history, The Great Powers and the End of the Ottoman Empire examines the complex web of rivalries, ambitions, and interventions that shaped the final decades of the Ottoman state. Edited by Marian Kent, the volume presents a series of incisive scholarly essays that detail how Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy each pursued competing strategic and economic interests in Ottoman territories. The contributors argue that the empire's dissolution was not merely an internal collapse but was actively accelerated by the calculated policies of European powers seeking territorial influence, trade dominance, and geopolitical advantage. Written with academic authority yet remaining accessible to the engaged general reader, the work illustrates how the Eastern Question became one of the defining fault lines of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century international relations. Together, the essays chronicle the transition from the Concert of Europe's uneasy management of Ottoman decline to the post-World War I settlement that ultimately dismembered the empire and reshaped the modern Middle East.
