EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the political history of the early 20th century as the ex-German battleship Goeben, now under British guard, is seen anchored off the coast of Buyukada (Prinkipo) in Istanbul on August 12, 1923. The Goeben, a formidable warship that had caused significant international tension just a few years prior, was at the center of complex diplomatic negotiations following World War I. The battleship, which had originally been sold to the Ottoman Empire in 1914 but was later seized by Germany during the war, was now slated to be returned to the Turks as part of the Near East Treaty. In the foreground of the image, two British destroyers, the Sirdas and Sparrowhawk, can be seen providing a protective presence around the battleship. Their presence was crucial in ensuring a peaceful transfer of the vessel to Turkish control. The Goeben's return to Turkey was a significant development in the region, marking the end of an era of foreign intervention and the beginning of a new chapter in Turkish history. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the political complexities and shifting alliances of the 1920s, and the role that military might played in shaping the international landscape during this period.
