To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Arabia proper, and in the larger portion of Mesopotamia, up to the present day, the Arabs have been as independent of the Sublime Porte as have been the Albanians. In the reign of Abdul Hamid, when the idea of the Pan-Islamic movement was conceived, the import- ance of joining the sacred cities of Medina and Mecca more closely with the Turkish Empire was recognized. French interests were building a railway across the Lebanon Mountains to Aleppo and Damascus. The 215 THE NEW MAP OF EUROPE Ger...mans had launched their project for the Bag- dadbahn. Abdul Hamid decided to create a railway directly under government control, from Damascus to Medina and Mecca. For the first time since they were joined to the Ottoman Empire, the Arabic provinces saw themselves in prospective connec- tion with the capital. It had been for a long time easier and quicker to go from Constantinople to the United States or to China than to Bagdad or to Mecca. The railways would have one of two results : either the Arabs would be brought more closely into connection with the Empire, or they would be definitely alienated from it.
