During World War I, a remote island in the Caspian Sea became an unexpected prisoner-of-war camp, holding thousands of Ottoman soldiers captured on the Caucasus front. Nargin Island, just off the coast of Baku, was a barren rock with no fresh water, overlooked by the Russian Empire as a place to confine enemy combatants. This episode explores the harsh conditions, the international legal debates around treatment of POWs, and the lesser-known story of how these prisoners interacted with the diverse population of Baku. We discuss the Ottoman soldiers' origins, the role of the Red Cross, and the camp's evolution after the Russian Revolution. We also touch on how the memory of Nargin Island has been preserved — or forgotten — in modern Azerbaijan. Drawing on archival records and eyewitness accounts, we piece together a chapter of World War I that rarely makes it into the standard histories of the Caucasus. #NarginIsland #POWcamp #WorldWarI #CaucasusCampaign #OttomanEmpire #RussianEmpire #Baku #CaspianSea #PrisonersOfWar #RedCross #Bayil #Absheron #FirstWorldWar #History #FexingoHistory #AzerbaijanHistory #MilitaryHistory #EasternFront Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
