This research project analyzes how the historical narratives created during the latter half of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century referred to the history of the past. Surveying historical literature and articles on periodicals, we will discuss the following points: (1) how various ethnic groups have tried to connect ‘their’ own histories with what happened in the modern period of the past when ethnic or national identities were being formed; (2) how and through which historical sources each group described their histories; and (3) how writing ethnic histories demonstrated relationships with wide-ranging political and supra-ethnic/national movements like Pan-Turkism.
