Modern history to 20th century: c 1700 to c 1900; Crimean War; Orthodox & Oriental Churches

Series: Histories of the Sacred and Secular, 1700–2000

This new political history of the Orthodox Church in the Ottoman Empire explains why Orthodoxy became the subject of acute political competition between the Great Powers during the mid 19th century. It also explores how such rivalries led, paradoxically, both to secularizing reforms and to Europe's last great war of religion - the Crimean War.
