Produced by Turgut Dincer (This file was produced from images generously made available by Hathi Trust Digital Library) "Shall Turkey Live or Die?" by Thomas Carlyle is a political treatise written during the mid-19th century. The book delves into the complex dynamics surrounding Turkey's position in Europe, the implications of the impending war, and the broader interplay of religion and politics during a period of significant tension between Christian and Muslim nations. Carlyle explores themes of moral obligation, national sovereignty, and the intricate relationship between faith and governance, particularly in the context of the Ottoman Empire. In this work, Carlyle argues that the fate of Turkey is not merely a matter of military or territorial dispute but a reflection of deeper spiritual and moral issues facing Christendom. He critically examines the role of various European powers, particularly Russia and the Pope, in their ambitions regarding Turkish lands and the treatment of Orthodox Christians under Ottoman rule. Carlyle contends that Turkey's existence serves a purpose in the divine order and warns against hasty interventions that could lead to greater moral and political chaos. Ultimately, he advocates for a practical understanding of international relations, emphasizing justice over self-interest in the approach to the "Eastern Question," while reminding readers of the historical context of Turkish rule and its implications for Christian nations.
