Italo-Turkish War, Argentina, magazines, Italy, Ottoman EmpireAbstract
Political events that occurred in or between the Ottoman Empire and Italy often had a significant impact on Argentine journalistic publications. The weekly magazines that became very popular at the beginning of the 20th century played an important role in demonstrating how these two communities react and try to influence Argentine public opinion regarding sociopolitical issues related to their countries of origin. The Italo-Turkish War (1911-1912) was one of the political events that significantly influenced Argentine magazines. Throughout the one-year duration of the conflict and subsequent to its conclusion, numerous Argentine magazines disseminated a variety of essays, news articles, stories, caricatures, and opinions regarding the war’s developments and its repercussions. In this context, this study aims not only to analyze these publications from an Argentine perspective, but also to examine the impact of the war on these migratory groups and the propaganda initiatives that were carried out through them. Furthermore, we examine the contemporary Argentine immigration policy and the effects of the war on the country’s relations with both factions, taking into account the sociopolitical and economic context of the host country.
