Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book journeys to the Orient in the early twentieth century to provide a political and economic exploration of the main ideas behind the ambitious Baghdad Railway project, which aimed to link the Bosporus to the Persian Gulf. The author traveled throughout the region to investigate the project's relevance in terms of geopolitical power, and its potential impact on the stability of the Ottoman Empire. Discussion of the implications for trade and economics is interwoven with the dramatic historical events unfolding at the time, such as uprisings in Yemen, Britain's naval strategy in the Persian Gulf, and the political turmoil in Constantinople. The author delves into the complex political landscape to offer insightful analysis of the interests of the various nations involved, including Britain, Russia, Germany, and Turkey. By contextualizing the geopolitical realities, this book highlights the significance of the Baghdad Railway as a pivotal infrastructure project and a key factor in shaping the political and economic dynamics of the Middle East.
