In the 1930's Hungarian-born Eugene Fodor worked as a translator sailing around the world on French cruise ships. While on board, he becomes a travel correspondent, combining his own experiences and ship gossip. Fodor found then current travel guides old-fashioned and out of date, and publishes his own guidebook, written for British travelers: 1936 On the Continent: An Entertaining Travel Annual. He researched and wrote the 1,200-page tome himself. The guide went beyond reporting on the sights and for the first time included information about Europe's culture and people, practical information like how to tip, and was the first to be annually updated. Fodor publishes his first guidebook for American tourists, 1937 in Europe, which sold out its first printing in just three days. Fodor is in the U.S. as tensions in Europe mount leading up to World War II. When the Munich Agreement is signed in 1938, he quits his job, declaring in a telegram that he will not return to Europe except in uniform. During the height of World War II, Fodor is recruited for a special assignment by General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, the head of the OSS. Fodor founds Fodor's Modern Guides in Paris in 1949, acting as his own printer, photographer and designer. He was the first to produce guides to individual countries. Turkey, officially the Republic of Türkiye, is a country mainly located in Anatolia in West Asia, with a smaller part called East Thrace in Southeast Europe. It borders the Black Sea to the north; Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran to the east; Iraq, Syria, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south; and the Aegean Sea, Greece, and Bulgaria to the west. Turkey is home to over 85 million people; most are ethnic Turks, while ethnic Kurds are the largest ethnic minority. Officially a secular state, Turkey has a Muslim-majority population. Ankara is Turkey's capital and second-largest city, while Istanbul is its largest city and economic and financial center. Other major cities include zmir, Bursa, and Antalya. Turkey was first inhabited by modern humans during the Late Paleolithic. Home to important Neolithic sites like Göbekli Tepe and some of the earliest farming areas, present-day Turkey was inhabited by various ancient peoples. The Hattians were assimilated by the Anatolian peoples, such as the Hittites. Classical Anatolia transitioned into cultural Hellenization following the conquests of Alexander the Great; Hellenization continued during the Roman and Byzantine eras. The Seljuk Turks began migrating into Anatolia in the 11th century, starting the Turkification process. The Seljuk Sultanate of Rum ruled Anatolia until the Mongol invasion in 1243, when it disintegrated into Turkish principalities. Beginning in 1299, the Ottomans united the principalities and expanded; Mehmed II conquered Istanbul in 1453. During the reigns of Selim I and Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire became a global power. From 1789 onwards, the empire saw a major transformation, reforms, and centralization while its territory declined. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, persecution of Muslims during the Ottoman contraction and in the Russian Empire resulted in large-scale loss of life and mass migration into modern-day Turkey from the Balkans, Caucasus, and Crimea. Under the control of the Three Pashas, the Ottoman Empire entered World War I in 1914, during which the Ottoman government committed genocides against its Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian subjects. Following Ottoman defeat, the Turkish War of Independence resulted in the abolition of the sultanate and the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne. The Republic was proclaimed on 29 October 1923, modeled on the. W. Rondas (Drawings) (illustrateur). …
