EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic French warships anchored in the Bosphorus at Constantinople (now Istanbul) towards the end of the First World War. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into history, as the warships proudly display their national flags against the backdrop of the stunning Turkish palace and the iconic Ciragan Woods. The year is 1918, and the First World War, also known as the Great War, is drawing to a close. The Turkish Straits, which connect the Black Sea to the Mediterranean, had been a strategic prize for various empires throughout history. During the war, the Allied Powers, including France, sought to secure control of the straits to prevent the Central Powers from gaining access to the Black Sea and the resources it held. The French Navy played a significant role in the Allied efforts to secure the Turkish Straits. In this photograph, we see several French warships, including the battleships Bouvet and Suffren, anchored in the Bosphorus. Their impressive size and power are on full display, as they rest in the calm waters of the strait. The photograph also reveals the stunning beauty of the Turkish palace, which stands proudly on the shores of the Bosphorus. The palace, with its ornate architecture and lush gardens, adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, contrasting with the military might of the warships. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Turkish Straits and the role that naval power played in shaping the political landscape of the region during the First World War. It offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the Bosphorus and the majesty of the French warships that once sailed its waters.
