THE ROLE OF THE GREAT POWER AND IMPACT ON THE KARADAĞ STATE (1850-1875)

Summary/Abstract: The attitude of Montenegro against Ottoman Government after 1697 has always been a subject of argument; however, it was only an internal security issue until 1850s. When Vladika Danila came to power in 1851, in less than no time, Montenegro issue got out of Ottoman Goventment’s control and became an international problem. The road map destined for the independence of Montenegro, which was planned in 1852 at Petersburg, was carried out for 25 years without exception and was completed in 1878 with Berlin Treaty. After 1852, the relations between Ottoman and Montenegro were carried out mostly under supervision of England, France, Russia, Austria-Hungary and Prussia, which were named as Düvel-i Muazzama by the Ottomans. The very first time the Ottoman Government realized Montenegro was not alone was during the military operation on 1853. Ottoman operation was stopped and the soldiers were retracted with Austrian intervention. Later on, Montenegro became an issue during the Paris Congress which was gathered to end the Crimean War, although Montenegro was not a part of it. During the congress, Ottoman delegate was forced to express that they were courteous to Montenegro’s existing borders. After 1856, France supported Montenegro.
