XIX. Yüzyılda Fırat Ve Dicle Havzasında Büyük Güçlerin Nüfuz Mücadeleleri
Struggle For Influence Of The Great Powers At The Euphrates And The Tıgrıs Rıvers Valley In The 19th Century

Summary/Abstract: This paper was compiled from various first-hand documents obtained mainly from the Prime Ministry Ottoman Archives, the National Archives, the British Newspaper Archives and the classical works and written works obtained from some research centers. These documents, which involve significant information, made significant contributions for the completion of this study. Since the topic about which we tried to give detailed information is concerned with the great powers’ conflict on the Euphrates and Tigris region, we specifically concentrated on this subject and were satisfied with giving general information about both the Middle East and Iraq. Inarguably, the winner of this conflict on that area in the beginning of the 19th century was the British Empire. Nevertheless, this accomplishment was not an easy one for the British Empire. They gained this triumph by virtue of defeating French, Russians, Dutch, and German forces after a long-standing struggle. In this study, we aimed to present details about the conflict between the Great Powers on that region and the British Empire’s success against the others.
