EDITORS COMMENTS
The New Dance Mistress: A Satirical Take on Turkey's Entry into World War I (1915) This intriguing and humorous cartoon, titled "The New Dance Mistress," depicts an Austro-Hungarian or German officer, dressed in eastern costume, introducing a plump German woman, Fraulein Gans (Miss Goose), to a plump Turkish man sitting on cushions. The officer, with a helmet on his head and plaited hair, is proudly presenting Miss Goose as the new dance mistress to the women in the Turkish harem. The cartoon is a commentary on Turkey's decision to join the Central Powers in the early stages of World War I. The goose step, a military marching style associated with the German army, is being taught to the women in the harem, symbolizing the spread of German influence and culture into the Ottoman Empire. The use of satire in this cartoon is evident through the portrayal of the Austro-Hungarian or German officer as the new dance mistress, a role traditionally associated with women. The officer's exaggerated eastern costume, along with the plump and unattractive depiction of both Miss Goose and the Turkish man, adds to the overall satirical tone of the image. The cartoon also highlights the cultural exchange and power dynamics at play during this period of history. The image of a German woman teaching the goose step to women in a Turkish harem underscores the far-reaching impact of the war and the shifting alliances between nations. This cartoon, created in 1915, offers a unique perspective on the historical events of World War I and the role of Turkey as an ally to the Central Powers.
