EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the symbolic moment of peace between two great European powers following the Italo-Turkish War in October 1912. The image shows Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire and King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy extending their hands in a handshake, marking the end of hostilities and the beginning of a new chapter in the complex history of their relationship. The backdrop of the scene is the quay side of a bustling harbor, with the Italian fleet anchored in the background. The Ottoman Empire, once a formidable power in Europe and the Mediterranean, had suffered a significant defeat in the war, which saw Italy seize control of Libya. The defeat was a blow to the already weakened Ottoman Empire, which was in a state of decline and struggling to maintain its territories in the face of European encroachment. The peace agreement, signed on October 18, 1912, was brokered by European powers and marked the end of the Italo-Turkish War. The handshake between the two monarchs symbolized the hope for a new era of peace and cooperation between Italy and the Ottoman Empire, although tensions would continue to simmer in the years to come. The angel atop the Italian flagpole adds a sense of divine intervention, as if to suggest that the hand of fate was guiding the outcome of the conflict. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the shifting political landscape of Europe at the turn of the 20th century and the complex web of alliances and conflicts that would shape the continent for decades to come.
