Tarih Dünyası (Turkish: The World of History) was a popular history magazine published in Istanbul, Turkey, for two periods: between 1950 and 1954 and 1964 and 1965.

History and profile

Tarih Dünyası was established in 1950, and its first issue appeared on 15 April.[1][2] Niyazi Ahmet Banoğlu was its founder and publisher.[3][4] The magazine was headquartered in Istanbul.[5] Tarih Dünyası was first published on a biweekly basis and became a monthly periodical from 15 September 1951.[1] The rival of the magazine was another history magazine entitled Tarih Hazinesi (Turkish: History Treasury) which had been started by İbrahim Hakkı Konyalı, a former contributor of Tarih Dünyası.[4] Their competition was due to the ideological differences in that Tarih Dünyası did not have a religiously nationalistic tone like Tarih Hazinesi.[4]

It folded on 26 February 1953 after publishing a total of 38 issues and four special issues.[1][2] The magazine was succeeded by Yeni Tarih Dünyası which produced 22 issues between 17 September 1953 and 1 August 1954.[1] It was restarted with its original title on 1 December 1964 as a monthly history and political journal.[1] However, it was closed on 15 June 1965.[1] In the last period it published only seven issues.[1]

Contributors and content

In the 1950s notable contributors of Tarih Dünyası included Falih Rıfkı Atay, Süheyl Ünver, Henry Bordeaux, Fahrettin Altay and İsmail Hakkı Uzunçarşılı.[1]

In the first period the magazine featured articles on the members of the Ottoman dynasty.[6] One of them was written by Adnan Giz on Hafsa Sultan's letters.[6] The other topics were as follows: harem, coffee drinking in the Empire, and the leading historic figures such as Marie Antoinette.[4] The cover page of Tarih Dünyası featured the Ottoman Sultans and war scenes of the Ottoman soldiers.[4]

In the second term between 1964 and 1965 the focus of Tarih Dünyası was on Atatürk and his government.[1] In 1964 Ahmet Cevat Emre's memoir was published by Niyazi Ahmet Banoğlu in Tarih Dünyası which was about Emre's stay in Moscow.[3]
