To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This tactless attitude was also extended to foreign re- ^ lations. Although the Island of Crete had long been lost to Turkey, the right of hoisting a Turkish flag at Suda Bay being the only remaining trace of Turkish dominion, and although there was no hope of winning back more positive rights of sovereignity, a tremendous agitation was made for the sake of the island. Emotional appeals were made and meetings called everywhere to affirm that " thirty million Ottomans would rather die together t...han give up an inch I02 THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN TURKEY [ X02 of that sacred and dear soil." The papers were full of i>a- triotic telegrams from every part of the Empire competing- with each other in the vigor of their language. Crete was made an idol which ate up all the energies and all the en- thusiasm the people could devote to public matters. As the gfreat majority of the Turkish population was extremely sen- sitive regarding territorial gains and losses, the words spent, and reflected through public channels, in behalf of the " sacred " island, gave everybody a deep sense of satisfac- tion and achievement at an extremely low cost.
