In the aftermath of the bloodless Young Turk Revolution, the literary circles in Salonika initiated a journal called Genç Kalemler (Young Pens) in 1911, which began to transform literature radically in the lights of Turkish nationalism.
Young Pens voiced an ideological and stylistic rebel against the Fecr-i Ati (Dawn of the Future) group, the heir to Edebiyat-ı Cedide, in terms of the use and the linguistic features of literature.
Although she was not associated with the Young Pens, Halide Edip Adıvar was also an influential writer among the Türk Ocakları (Turkish Hearths), the organizations which embraced Turanism, a pan-Turkist approach.

 The Traitor : A Novel by Geoffrey Miller
The Young Turk revolution of 1908 presented the British Foreign Office with a quandary — to support the new régime, which had successfully restored the constitution, or continue to remain aloof, as had been the policy during the reign of Abdul the Damned.
Initially with limited aims, the Young Turks and, in particular, the inner circle forming the heart of the party – the Committee of Union and Progress (C.U.P.) – would increasingly stand at the centre of Turkish politics, for good or evil.
The power base of the Young Turks was too narrow and, while the heart beat more strongly in Constantinople after the revolution, the effect was too late to save the atrophied limbs.

Ismail Enver, known to Europeans during his political career as Enver Pasha (Istanbul, November 22, 1881 - August 4, 1922) was a military officer and a leader of the Young Turk revolution in the closing days of the Ottoman Empire.
In April 1912 the Young Turks (officially the C.U.P.) won an overwhelming majority in an election, but loss of the province of Libya to Italy and other setbacks eroded its support to the point that in July the C.U.P. was forced to yield to a political coalition called the Liberal Union, which formed a ministry.
In a coup on January 23, 1913, the C.U.P. overthrew the Liberal Union coalition and introduced a military dictatorship headed by the "Three Pashas" - Cemal, Enver and Talât.
