Administrating The Non-Muslims And The ‛Question Of Jerusalem’ After The Young Turk Revolution

The Young Turk Revolution of 1908 significantly altered the dynamics of power and relations among non-Muslim communities in the Ottoman Empire, particularly in Jerusalem. While existing historiography often focuses on the impact on Ottoman Turkish society, this study uniquely examines how different ethno-religious groups perceived the Revolution and how it influenced their internal power structures. It also explores the relationships between these groups and the religious dynamics within the Empire, as well as the central government's perspective on the transformations occurring in non-Muslim communities. Through a comparative approach, the research sheds light on the complex interplay of political, ethnic, and religious factors that shaped the post-Revolutionary landscape in one of the most contentious cities of the Ottoman Empire.
