THE TURKISH ROOTS OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM?
The history of National Socialism is mostly narrated and researched within its national, German context. While it appears obvious that Germany was interconnected with the broader world at the time, this has had little impact on our understanding of the history of National Socialism. This article investigates the Turkish dimension of National Socialism in its formative period and shows how debates on Turkey and recent events there influenced and shaped debates in the German media in the early Weimar republic. It is a contribution to entangled history and media history as it proposes a new way to understand international history and influences through public debates, news coverage, and political discourse.
