Book Description
Excerpt from Three Peace Congresses of the Nineteenth Century; Claimants to Constantinople It is to history also that we must turn for the background of the problem of Constantinople, the most important single question to which the war must furnish an answer. This lends special inter est to the essay which shows the various forms the answer has taken since the Bliddle Ages, as the racial tides have ebbed and flowed and as boundary lines have been drawn and obliterated. The more such elements are considered the more baffling the question becomes. This point receives new emphasis from the fact that certain statesmen are now trying to accomplish what their prede cessors moved heaven and earth to prevent.
