In the mid-eighteenth century, most of the Mediterranean coastline and its hinterlands were controlled by the Ottoman Empire, a vast Islamic power which – although past its zenith – was still regarded by Christian Europe with awe and fear. However, by the end of the First World War, this great civilisation had been completely subjugated, its territories occupied by European states. In Sea of Troubles, Ian Rutledge reveals how the Mediterranean – the fault line between Europe and Islam – became the most important centre of European imperialist rivalry. Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Austria-Hungary and Russia all jostled for control of the trade, lands and wealth of this Islamic region. This competition made their conquest a far more difficult and extended task than they encountered elsewhere in the world. As rivalries intensified in the early twentieth century, events would spiral out of control as the continent headed towards war. Sea of Troubles is a sweeping and fascinating account of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, told from all key players’ perspectives. Ian Rutledge masterfully investigates over three centuries of European imperialism in the Islamic Mediterranean, showing that it was the chain reaction of their violence in this region that was the primary cause of the First World War.

Located at the intersection of Asia, Africa, and Europe, the Mediterranean has connected societies for millennia, creating a shared space of intense economic, cultural, and political interaction. Greek temples in Sicily, Roman ruins in North Africa, and Ottoman fortifications in Greece serve as reminders that the Mediterranean has no fixed national boundaries or stable ethnic and religious identities.

That seafaring was fundamental to Roman prosperity in the eastern Mediterranean is beyond doubt, but a tendency by scholars to focus on the grandest long-distance movements between major cities has obscured the finer and varied contours of maritime interaction. This book offers a nuanced archaeological analysis of maritime economy and connectivity in the Roman east.
