Syphilis Epidemic in Anatolia at the Beginning of the 20th Century in the Light of Memories

Summary/Abstract: Epidemics, which dragged humanity into great destruction, sometimes changed its course in history. Syphilis, one of these epidemics, has emerged as an insidious disease that has shaken societies both physically and spiritually since its existence. Syphilis, which started to spread rapidly after the discovery of the Americas in 1492, first affected Europe and then the whole world. Of course, syphilis was widely seen in the Anatolia geography. Especially since the beginning of the 19th century, while hunger, nutrition problems, poverty, war and natural disasters were experienced on the one hand, the syphilis epidemic that occurred on the other hand became the worst nightmare of the Anatolian people. In this study, it will be tried to look at syphilis from the eyes of people who witnessed the period.
