Summary: "Peeps at Many Lands: Turkey" by Julius R. Van Millingen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a detailed exploration of Turkish geography, culture, and history, delving into the various ethnic groups and significant events that shaped the Ottoman Empire. Aimed at readers interested in travel or historical studies, the book offers insights into the complexities of Turkish society through an examination of its diverse populations and their customs. The opening of the book presents a broad overview of Turkey's geography, marking the striking geographical boundaries between Europe and Asia defined by the Bosphorus and Dardanelles. The author recounts the history of the Turkish people's migration from Central Asia and their eventual establishment of the Ottoman Empire, touching on significant events such as the fall of Constantinople and the rise and decline of Ottoman power in Europe. Alongside historical context, Van Millingen emphasizes the rich culture of the Turkish people, hinting at the various ethnic groups that will be explored in subsequent chapters, including Albanians, Pomaks, and Armenians, thus setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the multifaceted identity of Turkey.
