The Young Turk Revolution was a constitutionalist revolution in the Ottoman Empire.

From the Young Turk Revolution to the Empire's end marks the Second Constitutional Era of the Ottoman Empire's history. More than three decades earlier, in 1876, constitutional monarchy had been established under Abdul Hamid during a period of time known as the First Constitutional Era, which lasted for only two years before Abdul Hamid suspended it and restored autocratic powers to himself.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Late Ottoman genocides</span> 1913–1924 Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides

The late Ottoman genocides is a historiographical theory which sees the concurrent Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides that occurred during the 1910s–1920s as parts of a single event rather than separate events, which were initiated by the Young Turks. Although some sources, including The Thirty-Year Genocide (2019) written by the historians Benny Morris and Dror Ze'evi, characterize this event as a genocide of Christians, others such as those written by the historians Dominik J. Schaller and Jürgen Zimmerer contend that such an approach "ignores the Young Turks' massive violence against non-Christians", in particular against Muslim Kurds.

He received a doctorate in history from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in France, with a dissertation titled L'ingénierie Ethnique du Comité Union et Progrès et la Turcisation de l'Anatolie (1913-1918). In a review of his book Crime of Numbers, Simon Payaslian states "That Dündar accepts Ottoman sources uncritically is the most fundamental problem with this work." Dündar also participated in Workshop for Armenian/Turkish Scholarship and contributed a chapter to its book, A Question of Genocide, in which he "provides a fresh interpretation of the deportation", according to Bedross Der Matossian, who nevertheless criticized the chapter for its incomplete understanding of the concentration camps in the Syrian desert as revealed in Armenian sources.
