Summary

The Historical Works of Hilaire Belloc offers an insightful collection of essays and narratives that traverse the landscapes of European history, illuminating events and figures often overshadowed by prevailing historiographical paradigms. Known for his articulate prose and fervent patriotism, Belloc combines a rigorous approach to historical analysis with a penchant for anecdotal storytelling, engaging readers in a style that is both academic and accessible. His works reflect the tumultuous early 20th-century context in which he wrote, marked by changing political landscapes and a burgeoning interest in the social implications of history. Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) was a prominent French-British writer, historian, and political commentator, known for his staunch Roman Catholicism and nationalist sentiments. His experiences as an immigrant from France to England, coupled with his scholarly background in history and literature, profoundly influenced his perspective on the historical narrative. Belloc's intellectual endeavors, rooted in a commitment to uncover truth amid growing skepticism of traditional values, fostered his unique approach to historiography. This collection is essential reading for those interested in a nuanced understanding of European history, as it challenges readers to rethink the forces that shaped the continent. Belloc's distinctive voice invites both historians and general readers alike to reflect on the past with clarity and purpose. His work stands as a testament to the art of storytelling in historical discourse, making it a valuable addition to any literary or historical library.

Then it shows you how to create a personalized plan to find your way back to wholeness, joy, and peace.

    In Ancient Mesopotamia, women in positions of royalty wielded significant power and influence, though their roles were often intertwined with the male-dominated political and religious systems. These women were not only important figures within their families and courts but also held sway over matters of governance, culture, and religion. The Mesopotamian concept of royalty was complex, encompassing both divine authority and political responsibility, and women in royal families were frequently called upon to uphold and represent these ideals. 
One of the most prominent ways in which women in Mesopotamian royalty exercised their power was through marriage alliances. Royal women were often married to powerful kings or high-ranking officials, and these unions were strategically arranged to secure political stability, territorial expansion, and alliances between city-states. While the majority of these marriages were political in nature, some royal women were able to carve out roles of personal power and influence. For instance, Queen Shub-Ad, who ruled the Sumerian city-state of Ur, is believed to have held a direct and significant role in political decision-making during her reign. Her involvement in military campaigns, the construction of monumental architecture, and religious rituals showcases the multifaceted nature of female royal authority. 
In addition to their marriages, royal women in Mesopotamia often took on important religious roles. Many queens and princesses served as high priestesses, a position that not only gave them spiritual authority but also political power. Priestesses were central figures in the worship of the gods, and as such, they were deeply connected to the divine. Enheduanna, the daughter of the Akkadian king Sargon, is one of the most well-known royal women from Mesopotamian history.

    In recent years, Türkiye's foreign policy has been driven by efforts to reset relations with regional competitors in the
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Against a backdrop of disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as the redefinition of the US role in the region, Ankara's renewed diplomatic activism has been guided by the willingness to break from regional isolation, as well as the need to relieve Türkiye's deteriorating economy. How did Türkiye ditch its ideological approach in the wake of the 2011 Arab uprisings to adopt a more pragmatic stance? And how is the process of rapprochement with other key actors in the MENA region playing out – namely Gulf monarchies, Israel and Egypt?
