In the weakened Ottoman Empire of the nineteenth century, revolts in the Balkans and subsequent Russian intervention led to the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 which resulted in a great loss of Ottoman territory and population in the European part of the Empire. After the ceasefire at Edirne in January 1878 and the signing of the Treaty of San Stefano in March 1878, the Congress of Berlin was convened in June 1878 in order to achieve a political settlement. High-level plenipotentiaries of the main European Powers took part in the deliberations. Against the backdrop of the Congress of Berlin, details are provided about the lives and careers of the members of the Ottoman Turkish delegation.

Procreation, family and 'progress': Administrative and economic aspects of Ottoman population policies in the 19th century Dursun, Selçuk (Informa UK Limited, 2011-06-15) The making of the modern Ottoman state in the 19th century was closely interrelated with population issues and policies. 'Population' became an important component of Ottoman history throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. As the state identified the 'population' as a source of income after the Tanzimat, it tried to protect and procreate it through certain institutional arrangements and regulations. These policies consisted of protecting the existing population, controlling population movements, promo...
Shifting alliances in Europe from the Congress of Vienna to the Congress of Berlin (1815- 1878) Keyvanoğlu, Merve Cemile; Soykut, Mustafa; Department of History (2015) The aim of this thesis is to examine the historical background of the alliances that European Great Powers created for the first time in terms of mutual benefits after wars had ended with the Congress of Vienna in 1815, and the interruption of these alliances with the wars between the Ottoman Empire and Russia (The Crimean War and Ottoman- Russian War, etc.) in the light of Ottoman archival documents. A number of social, political, and economic reasons had some effects on the foundation of these alliances w...
Impacts of Transition from an Official Greek Viewpoint: The Case of the Turkish Muslim Minority in Western Thrace-Greece (1923-1933) Hüseyinoğlu, Ali (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2012-4-1) In the beginning of the 20th century, the dissolution of great empires in Europe resulted in formation of new nation states. Millions of people were forced to move from one place to another while others remained on their own historic lands. As the Ottoman Millet system collapsed together with the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, ethnic and religious differentiation among communities throughout the former Ottoman lands started to be promoted by new nation states of the post-World War. In this respect, thos...
The implementation of the Ottoman land code of 1858 in eastern Anatolia Gözel, Oya; Boztemur, Recep; Department of History (2007) The nineteenth century was an era that great centralization and codification attempts were realized in the Ottoman Empire. One of these attempts was the Ottoman Land Code of 1858, which put various land regulations throughout the empire into a standard code. But this standard Code gave different results when applied to different regions which had their own characteristic features. Eastern Anatolia, which had an autonomous position since its incorporation to the Ottoman Empire, was also in the scope of the L...
A review of the Turco-Italian war of 1911-1912 and related letters of Enver Pasha Wasti, Syed Tanvir (Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-01) From the time of the 1877 Turco-Russian war till its disappearance from the stage of history in 1922, the Ottoman Empire was involved in decades of almost continuous war – in Europe, on the Russian front and in the Middle East. The conflict with Italy of 1911–1912 was an example of how powers in decline are forced into war in the face of peremptory demands from stronger neighbours. Italy's unprovoked attack on the Ottoman provinces of Libya in North Africa paved the way for the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913 and ...
