Trotsky describes the “Young Turk Revolution” and how European powers circled the rotting Ottoman Empire “like so many hungry dogs”… the 1905-11 “”Constitutional Revolution” in Iran… the fight to end pogroms of the Jews in Romania… and the devastation inflicted on workers and peasants during the 1912-13 Balkan wars on the eve of World War I.
