XVIII. Yüzyılın İlk Çeyreğinde Osmanlı-İngiliz İlişkileri
Anglo-Ottoman Relations during the First Quarter of the 18th Century

Summary/Abstract: Even though 18th century is a fertile field for history of diplomacy, this is not true for Ottoman diplomatic history. Although valuable studies are made on Ottoman diplomacy in recent years, this field still remains to be unearthed by historians. On the other hand it is not possible to write a diplomatic history without the Ottoman Empire which was part of the western diplomacy since its foundation. Even in the diplomacy of England, which is highly remote country, Ottoman Empire had an important place. The main purpose of this study is to prove this fact by analyzing diplomatic relations between these countries from the treaty of Carlowitz (1699) to the ascension of George II (1727). At end of the study, it is seen that England’s dynastic, commercial, continental and global aims determined its policy towards to the Ottoman Empire. In this study these aims are told and it is claimed that these aims framed the policy of England towards to the Ottoman Empire. Thereby it is aimed to make a minor contribution for the fulfillment of this gap.
