The regrets of the politicians who orchestrated the 31 March incidents and dethroned Sultan Abdulhamid!.. The defeat in Trablusgarp!.. The bitter face of the Second Balkan Defeat!.. The helplessness of the Ottoman Empire, with politics infiltrating its army!.. As always, we looked at events from a cultural perspective. If we succeeded, how fortunate!..
