Deutschland Über Allah

The pamphlet argues that Germany deliberately cultivated the Ottoman Empire into a German sphere of influence by patient, targeted diplomacy and investment rather than by chance or blunder. It traces methods such as military and technical training, financial support, educational and scientific aid, and the use of bribery to win Turkish elites, and shows how those efforts exploited the Young Turk reforms to redirect Ottoman modernization toward German aims. The account links long-term psychological and material strategy to the wartime alignment of Turkish policy and assesses the resulting shift in regional power.
