Münir Müeyyet Bekman & Feridun Fazıl Tülbentçi – Chronology of the Second World War I (Up to the End of 1940) (İkinci Cihan Harbi Kronolojisi I (1940 Sonuna Kadar)) – Başvekalet Basın ve Yayın Umum Müdürlüğü Yayınları, Ankara 1943 Edition – Turkish

Description:

İkinci Cihan Harbi Kronolojisi I (1940 Sonuna Kadar) is the first volume of a seven-volume chronological record of the Second World War, documenting the military, diplomatic, and political developments of the war on a day-by-day basis. Covering events through the end of 1940, the work follows the rapidly changing course of the conflict across Europe and other regions while also recording major diplomatic developments and official declarations.

Published in Ankara in 1943 by the Başvekalet Basın ve Yayın Umum Müdürlüğü, the official information and publishing authority of the Turkish state, the work was intended to inform the Turkish public and government circles about the international developments of the war. Its institutional origin gives the series particular importance as a contemporary official publication rather than an ordinary commercial history book.

The chronology presents developments involving both the Axis and Allied powers in a formal and distanced manner, including military operations, diplomatic relations, official statements, and international political events. It also includes developments of direct relevance to Turkey, such as events in the Balkans, regional security, the Straits, and diplomatic activity concerning Ankara.

As an official wartime publication, the work provides valuable insight into how the Second World War and international events were recorded and presented from the perspective of the Turkish state during the period. For collectors of Second World War history, Turkish political history, wartime publications, and official government documents, this first volume is a particularly interesting contemporary source.
