A contribution to Knowing the Opportunities in the Bosnian Estate During the Times of Mahmud Hamdi Pasha and Davud pasha (1832-1835) According to Ottoman Documents

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author presents new facts regarding the period in which Bosnia was ruled by Mahmud Hamdi Pasha and Davud Pasha as valis through the documents of the Ottoman archive in Istanbul. The period of their administration is closely related to the collapse of the Movement for Autonomy, which is covered in detail in the literature of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Therefore, the author pays special attention to the circumstances in the Bosnian Eyalet that followed the suppression of the uprising in 1832. Through the administration of the two mentioned Valis as key figures between the central Ottoman authorities and the provincial structures of the Bosnian Eyalet, the political and social change caused by the persecution of Captain Husein Gradaščević is depicted. The paper points to the post-insurgency atmosphere in the Bosnian Eyalet, the constant financial and economic crisis, sporadic incidents on the border with Austria and frequent diplomatic notes, the marked dissatisfaction of the Krajina people from the period of the Dubica War, the rebellion of captains, especially in the Bosanska Krajina region, constant friction and murders in areas that belonged to the Principality of Serbia, the sultan’s frequent orders to implement reforms through valis and other loyal officials who found themselves caught between a firman and the situation on the ground, faced with the facts that in Bosnia it is not so easy to abolish the established system and implement reforms as it was done in other provinces.
