II. VİYANA KUŞATMASI SONRASI BUHRAN YILLARINDA ANADOLU’DAKİ EŞKIYALIK HAREKETLERİ (1683-1699)
BANDITRY MOVEMENTS IN ANATOLIA DURING THE DEPRESSION AFTER THE SIEGE OF VIENNA II (1683-1699)

Summary/Abstract: The 17th century marks a crucial period in the history of the Ottoman Empire, characterized by significant disruptions, changes, and transformations in political, military, economic, and social spheres. The unsuccessful Siege of Vienna in 1683, occurring towards the end of this century, and the subsequent signing of the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, following a 16-year war period, represent a historical turning point for the Ottoman Empire. The empire experienced substantial territorial losses through this treaty for the first time, plunging it into an uncertain era. While extensive research has been conducted on the political, military, and logistical aspects of this period (1683-1699), there has been a shortage of studies examining the impact of this war period on Ottoman social life. This study focuses on banditry incidents, which are of paramount importance in Ottoman social life and occurred during times of depression or calamity in Ottoman history. Through an analysis of primary sources from the period, the researchers gathered documentary evidence and applied content analysis to transform it into statistical data. These data were then organized into tables, and a text supported by visual elements was crafted to present a comprehensive understanding of the banditry incidents and their repercussions in a tangible manner.
