The Eastern Question Solved

""The Eastern Question Solved: A Vision Of The Future"" is a book written by Budge in 1881. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Eastern Question, which was a complex geopolitical issue in the 19th century, concerning the declining Ottoman Empire and the competing interests of European powers in the region. Budge argues that the solution to the Eastern Question lies in the establishment of a new political entity, which he calls the ""Eastern Confederation."" This confederation would be composed of the Balkan states, including Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria, as well as the Ottoman Empire and the Arab states. Budge envisions the Eastern Confederation as a democratic and secular state, where all ethnic and religious groups would have equal rights and representation. He argues that this confederation would provide stability and security in the region, and prevent the intervention of external powers. The book also discusses the historical background of the Eastern Question, including the Crimean War and the Congress of Berlin, and analyzes the role of various European powers in the region. Budge provides a detailed account of the political, economic, and social conditions in the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire, and argues that the establishment of the Eastern Confederation is the only viable solution to the Eastern Question. Overall, ""The Eastern Question Solved: A Vision Of The Future"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex geopolitical issues of the 19th century and offers a unique perspective on the Eastern Question.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
