Kurds from Sultan Abdulhamid II to Paris Peace Conference

Abstract

Following geographical discoveries and the Industrial Revolution, the west acquired the information concerning the people they identified as “others” who lived outside their own geography by means of official or unofficial agents sent to the region. The government that most effectively managed the data collection was England. The British Empire, which was considered as the “Empire on which the Sun never set” of the 19th century, turned the First World War into an achievement battle where the collected information was blended.

Özet

Coğrafi Keşifler ve Sanayi İnkılâbı ile birlikte batı; öteki olarak tanımladığı kendi coğrafyası dışındaki insanların neye sahip olduğu bilgisini, bölgeye göndermiş olduğu resmi ya da gayri resmi görevlileri marifetiyle elde etmiştir. Bu bilgi toplama sürecini en iyi yöneten devlet İngiltere olmuştur .
