The book explores the economic potential of the Baghdad Railway, a major infrastructure project linking Berlin to Baghdad via Constantinople and Aleppo.Müller emphasizes how the railway could stimulate trade, open up Anatolian and Mesopotamian markets, and facilitate resource extraction, especially oil and agricultural goods.It also discusses the socioeconomic conditions of the regions traversed, including local populations, customs, and geography, aiming to justify German investment and influence in the Ottoman East.The Baghdad Railway was seen as a geopolitical tool to counter British dominance in the Middle East and secure access to India and the Persian Gulf.Germany’s involvement in the railway was part of its broader Weltpolitik, seeking global influence through economic and military means.
