| Summary | "The Turkish Empire, Its Growth and Decay" by Baron G. Shaw-Lefevre Eversley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the history of the Ottoman Empire, detailing its formation, expansion, and eventual decline, with a particular focus on the dynamics of power and governance during different periods of its history. The opening of this account introduces the author’s reflections on Turkey's historical significance, providing context for the author's interest in the subject stemming from personal experiences during visits to the region in the 19th century. Eversley outlines the transformative events that have shaped modern Turkey, particularly the loss of its Christian territories and the impact of military and political changes. He sets the stage for examining the complexities of Turkish history, framing it as a narrative of both growth and eventual disintegration, while also voicing insights about the motives behind the Ottoman conquests and the role of religious zeal compared to more pragmatic incentives like plunder and territorial expansion.
