EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany (1859-1941) is seen in the central position, proudly inspecting Ottoman troops on board the Ottoman Battle Cruiser "Javus Sultan Selim," formerly known as the German SMS "Goeben." The image captures a significant moment in history during World War I, when the Ottoman Navy acquired this powerful warship from the Imperial German Navy in 1914, as part of the secret Treaty of London, in an attempt to strengthen the Ottoman Empire's military capabilities against the Russian threat. The year is 1917, and the German Emperor, accompanied by high-ranking German military officials, is seen in formal attire, with a white scarf draped over his shoulders, as he observes the disciplined and well-equipped Ottoman soldiers. The Ottoman Sultan, Mehmed VI (1861-1922), is also present, wearing his traditional attire and seated to the right of the German Emperor. The photograph provides a visual testament to the complex web of alliances and shifting allegiances during the First World War. The Ottoman Empire, a member of the Central Powers, was a crucial player in the conflict, and this transfer of a German warship to the Ottoman Navy was a significant military and diplomatic victory for the Axis Powers. The image underscores the close relationship between the Ottoman Empire and the German Empire during this period, and the determination of both sides to maintain their military strength and strategic advantage. The Battle Cruiser "Javus Sultan Selim," with its impressive size and firepower, served as a symbol of the Ottoman Empire's commitment to the war effort and its alliance with the Central Powers. The photograph captures a moment of unity and solidarity between the Ottoman and German leaders, as they stand together on the deck of this formidable warship, surveying their combined military might.
