Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, who visited Jerusalem in 1898, sent telegrams directly to Sultan Abdulhamid II. These telegrams were translated into Ottoman Turkish and preserved as a booklet in the Yildiz Palace. In this session, we will discuss and evaluate how these telegrams, originally written in French, were translated into Ottoman Turkish, considering their historical context and significance.
