| Abstract: | The South African War of 1899-1902, between Great Britain and the Boer states, marked by British victory, garnered extensive international attention, thus offering a compelling case study on the influence of modern propaganda globally. European and American audiences closely monitored the conflict between the 'mighty' British Empire and the 'little white Christians'. Employing critical analysis, this article scrutinises Ottoman intellectuals' pro-British propaganda and their stance on the war. Utilising sources like Young Turk publications and memoirs, particularly focusing on Ismail Kemal Vlora's work 'The Question of Transvaal' (1900), it sheds light on their efforts to legitimise British imperialism in South Africa and beyond. |
