This chapter looks at the period of the constitutional revolution as a prelude to the Great War, interpreted by two eminent local historians of the life of Nablus: Muhammad Izzat Darwazeh and Ihsan al-Nimr. It illustrates two contrasting perspectives on how the city potentates, and how its middle classes and artisans reacted to the removal of Sultan Abdul Hamid from power. What is striking in this “farcical moment” was the strength of support for the old regime by the city's merchants and artisans, and the general hostility toward the new freedoms promised by the Young Turks. Nimr attributes this hostility to the substantial autonomy enjoyed by the Nablus region during the earlier periods of Ottoman rule.

Cumplidos 25 y 30 años respectivamente de la publicación de The Persistenceof the Old Regime – Europe to the Great War, por el profesor Arno Mayer, y Peasants intoFrenchmen de Eugene Weber, el autor realiza un repaso sobre las tesis de estas obras, así comode los condicionantes y el contexto en el que surgieron. La distancia temporal permite analizarserenamente la temática concernida con la ruptura y la continuidad del viejo orden en la denominadaEdad Contemporánea, dado que ésta fue en su día objeto de comentarios no exentosde planteamientos personalistas, políticos o de formalidad academicista. A día de hoy la citadatemática plantea con más rotundidad, pero con menos estruendo, las numerosas continuidadespercibidas a uno y otro lado de 1789.
