dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyzes American propaganda in Turkey during the Second
World War through the increasing economic, military and cultural relations between
the two countries. Germany was very influential in Turkey’s economic, military and
cultural development before the war. This kind of affiliation could have an influence
in Turkey’s foreign policy. Turkish leaders, on the other hand, attached utmost
importance to Turkey’s integrity and independence. They thought that entering the
war would damage Turkey’s sovereignty. Therefore they wanted to keep Turkey out
of war.
When the war started Turkey wanted to limit Germany’s influence. For this
reason Turkey turned to Britain and France which could not satisfy Turkey’s needs.
iv
America began to increase its economic, military and cultural relations with Turkey
through Lend-Lease aid, chrome sales, sending military experts to and inviting
students from Turkey, etc. The improvement of the relations between Turkey and
America in those fields aimed to break Germany’s influence in Turkey, and to
prevent Turkey’s entrance to the war on the side of the Axis. In this respect
strengthening Turkey in the economic and military fields so that it could fight against
the Axis forces was not the main aim. Therefore American efforts during the war
should be analyzed as propaganda against German propaganda. | en_US |
