The Celali rebel armies ravaged the central Anatolian countryside from the late 16th up to the mid-17th century. The Celali movements brought about demographic changes and had a long-lasting impact on agricultural economy in some regions. Anatolian waqf institutions being dependent on rural taxpayers and agricultural production for their budgets were seriously harmed by the Celali rebellions. This paper examines the Celali effect through the Waqf of Hatuniyye which had villages scattered across central Anatolian districts. The waqf fell into a deep financial crisis and its regular functioning was disrupted in the early 17th century. The waqf finance was unable to recover for decades after the crisis, which indicates that rural economy in waqf villages suffered from a perpetual production and population crisis.

The impact of the Balkan Wars on Ottoman history writing Searching for a soul Boyar, Ebru (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01) Based on histories, accounts and articles published after the Balkan Wars, this article argues that, contrary to the commonly accepted thesis, the Balkan Wars did notmark the point at which Turkism became the dominant state ideology. There was in fact no clear-cut and definite shift toward Turkism at this point. Instead there was an increasing awareness of the need for a 'common soul' that would unite the population of the empire in the face of dramatic challenges such as the Balkan Wars
"They Left Behind Institutions in Financial Jeopardy": Central Anatolian Waqfs in the Wake of the Great Flight Orbay, Kayhan (Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, 2019-01-01) The years of the late 16th into the 17th century were characterized by the harsh Celali rebellions and ensuing social turmoil in the central provinces of Anatolia. The years spanning 1603-1608 saw mass population movements called "The Great Flight". In fear of rebellions, villagers took refuge in safer locations, such as fortifications, mountain villages and sheltered in conglomerated villages. Some migrated to the western provinces far from the Celali movements. Life and earning the means to maintain that ...
The Celali effect in 17th century - Ottoman transformation Cabar, Oğuz; Orbay, Kayhan; Department of History (2018) This thesis aims to examine the effects of the Celali Revolts -a series of rebellions in Anatolia- in the 17th century Ottoman transformation period. The transformation period refers to a period in which the empire experienced important difficulties and changes in military and financial institutions due to the effects of local developments and external events during the transition from the 16th to the 17th century. In this thesis, the effects of Celali Revolts are examined concentrating especially on demogr...
The British threat to the Ottoman presence in the persian gulf during the era of Abdülhamid II and the responses towards it Bilal Emre, Biral; Boyar, Ebru; Department of International Relations (2009) This thesis analyzes how the Ottomans attempted to survive under the intensified British threat in the Persian Gulf during the period of Abdülhamid II (1876-1909). British statesmen at that time and Western sources inspired by these political elites have argued that there was no British menace that aimed to undermine the Ottoman presence in the Persian Gulf but that the Ottomans could not rule and hold the region. This thesis argues the contrary, that there was a formidable British threatening policy toward...
The interplay between Turkish and Hungarian nationalism : Ottoman pan-Turkism and Hungarian turanism (1890-1918) Oğuz, Alaattin; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Sociology (2005) This thesis dealt with the issues of the emergence of Pan-Turkism in Ottoman Empire and of Pan-Turanism in Hungary between the years 1890 and 1920. The theoretical discussion and literature review related to the subject exhibited that these two nationalisms were possible only when a state bureaucrats and intellectuals try to save the state from collapse and make discussions on the national issues, or when a state elites and noble classes aim to use national ideology for protecting the state from external th...
