| Summary | "The Passing of the Turkish Empire in Europe" by Captain B. Granville Baker is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the decline of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, especially during the turbulent times of the Balkan Wars. Through a combination of personal observation and historical analysis, Baker aims to illustrate both the immediate circumstances and broader implications of the fall of Turkish rule in the region. At the start of the book, the author reflects on the growing tensions in the Balkans during a challenging summer. He describes his journey to Constantinople, where he observes the stark contrast between the vibrant city and the encroaching threats to its stability. Baker sets a tone of urgency and foreshadowing as he draws parallels between historic invasions and the present crisis, hinting at the dramatic transformations facing the Ottoman Empire. He presents his impressions of the city, noting signs of unrest and the implications of war looming just beyond its borders, effectively establishing a backdrop for the detailed historical exploration to follow.
