Key Notes
Jiang claims Sabbatean/Frankist or Donmeh networks profited from the Ottoman debt regime and then financed the Young Turks when the Sultan turned toward Germany.
The Young Turks are framed as carriers of secularism, liberalism, and individualism, which Jiang names as the basic ideas of modernity.
Jiang argues that Dönmeh families embedded themselves in upper Ottoman power and became central to the Young Turk movement, extending their relevance into modern Turkish state formation.
