dc.description.abstractThis article traces how differing perspectives on the sinking of the French battleship Bouvet ultimately denied the Ottoman artillery credit for the success. The official British account would attribute the defeat to 'floating mines' and to the 'luck' of the Turks in March 1915 first, and later to the Nusret's minefield when they published their official history in 1921. Following the Great War and the occupation of Istanbul, the Ottoman officers who participated in the naval operations revised their own accounts and imported the British official narrative of the event. In understanding this overlooked case using newly disclosed Ottoman and German accounts, we can analyse how the losers' historiography is vulnerable to overt influence from the victors' hegemonic official historiography.en_US
