The Ottoman 'Long War' of 1683–1699 with the Lega Sacra H-Turk From War to Piece: The Ottoman ‘Long War’ of 1683–1699 with the Lega Sacra Powers and the Treaties of Carlowitz 1699: Antecedents, Course and Consequences Discussion published by Grigor Boykov on Thursday, April 10, 2014 FROM WAR TO PEACE: The Ottoman ‘Long War’ of 1683–1699 with the Lega Sacra Powers and the Treaties of Carlowitz 1699: Antecedents, Course and Consequences International workshop Center of Excellence in the Humanities “Alma Mater”, Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” Sofia, 25–26 April 2014 The year 2014 will be observed by the academic community and the general public as the one- hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War (1914–1918), one of the most important turning points in world history, and a conflict which undoubtedly not only destroyed the old European order, but also had an immense influence, an influence which which is still felt, upon the course of history since 1914. That same year 2014 may also be recognised as the anniversary of another, earlier, major conflict, less known to a general audience and the scholarly community than the WWI, but which had an impact on Europe and especially on the history of the Balkans which was fully comparable to the effect which World War I had on Europe and the rest of the world. In 1699, exactly three hundred and fifteen years ago, a major military conflict came to a closure. The Lega Sacra, comprising the Habsburg Empire, Poland, Venice and Russia, confronted in all possible military means the Ottoman Empire during the years following the unsuccessful Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683. The peace treaties signed at Carlowitz in January 1699 put a seal on the first major territorial losses suffered by the Ottomans, forcing them to accept the loss of much territory in Hungary and Poland, as well as part of the western Balkans. The peace congress of Carlowitz and the signing of the treaties themselves brought new elements in the relations between the Ottoman Empire and their Christian neighbours in Europe, which up to that time had been dominated mainly by ideology and the fierce fight between religions. The war of 1683-1699, the negotiations and the signing of the Carlowitz agreements and, in effect, the closing of the Ottoman frontier, belong to a group of important historical events that were underestimated not only as a public perception at the time, but also subsequently as a still relatively little-studied problem of historiography. The final years of the seventeenth century, however, do mark a major turning point for the history of the Balkans, for the Ottoman Empire, and for Europe. Looking back retrospectively at the 315 years which have elapsed since 1699, it may be that the time has come to pay to the Peace of Carlowitz the tribute that the War of 1683–1699 and the Peace congress of 1698–9 – the third centenary of which in 1699 went almost totally unnoticed by historians – really deserve.

The paper analyzes Turkic glosses in Hungarian and Polish post/mediaeval texts from the point of view of their correlation with historical events, and of their com- patibility with the Piotrovskij-Altmann law. The correspondence is found to be very good in both cases. A slight modification is proposed to the equation to lend more lin- guistic significance to one of the coefficients. 0 Rationale The goal of the present paper is twofold. On one hand, it continues the work pioneered by Karl-Heinz Best (Best/Kohlhase 1983, Best 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010 and others), of collecting empirical evidence for the so-called Piotrovskij-Alt- mann law. By providing Hungarian and Polish data, it also adds to the issue of Turkic influence in Europe, first discussed quantitatively in Best (2005) using the example of German. On the other hand, it attempts to show how the quantitative and qualitative " ' ' ' K & '+ &D 8T 6 worked to demonstrate this to a more traditionalistic audience (1990: 371). My aim here is to illustrate how the quantitative approach can reveal a general ten- dency in a collection of detailed observations gathered and explained with the philological method. I will: 1. explain how I prepared the data for analysis, 2.

  • Political and Economic Transition of Ottoman Sovereignty from a Sole Monarch to Numerous Ottoman Elites, 1683–1750S
    Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hung. Volume 70 (1), 49 – 90 (2017) DOI: 10.1556/062.2017.70.1.4 POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC TRANSITION OF OTTOMAN SOVEREIGNTY FROM A SOLE MONARCH TO NUMEROUS OTTOMAN ELITES, 1683–1750S BIROL GÜNDOĞDU Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen Historisches Institut, Osteuropäische Geschichte Otto-Behaghel-Str. 10, Haus D Raum 205, 35394 Gießen, Deutschland e-mail: [email protected] The aim of this paper is to reveal the transformation of the Ottoman Empire following the debacles of the second siege of Vienna in 1683. The failures compelled the Ottoman state to change its socio- economic and political structure. As a result of this transition of the state structure, which brought about a so-called “redistribution of power” in the empire, new Ottoman elites emerged from 1683 until the 1750s. We have divided the above time span into three stages that will greatly help us com- prehend the Ottoman transition from sultanic authority to numerous autonomies of first Muslim, then non-Muslim elites of the Ottoman Empire. During the first period (1683–1699) we see the emergence of Muslim power players at the expense of sultanic authority. In the second stage (1699–1730) we observe the sultans’ unsuccessful attempts to revive their authority. In the third period (1730–1750) we witness the emergence of non-Muslim notables who gradually came into power with the help of both the sultans and external powers. At the end of this last stage, not only did the authority of Ottoman sultans decrease enormously, but a new era evolved where Muslim and non-Muslim leading figures both fought and co-operated with one another for a new distribution of wealth in the Ottoman Empire.

Editor’s Preface From the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to Istanbul: A female doctor in the eighteenth-century Ottoman capital Diplomatic relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Com- monwealth go back to the first quarter of the fifteenth century. While the mutual con- tacts were characterized by exchange and cooperation interrupted by periods of war, particularly in the seventeenth century, the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699) marked a new stage in the history of Ottoman-Polish relations. In the light of the common Russian danger Poland made efforts to gain Ottoman political support to secure its integrity. The leading Polish Orientalist Jan Reychman (1910-1975) in his seminal work The Pol- ish Life in Istanbul in the Eighteenth Century (»Życie polskie w Stambule w XVIII wieku«, 1959) argues that the eighteenth century brought to life a Polish community in the Ottoman capital.

  • Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500-1700
    Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Muscovy waged a costly struggle against the Crimean Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for control of the fertile steppe above the Black Sea. This was a region of great strategic and economic importance – arguably the pivot of Eurasia at the time. Yet, this crucial period in Russia’s history has, up until now, been neglected by historians. Brian L. Davies’s study provides an essential insight into the emergence of Russia as a great power. The long campaign took a great toll upon Russia’s population, economy, and institutions, and repeatedly frustrated or redefi ned Russian military and diplo- matic projects in the West. The struggle was every bit as important as Russia’s wars in northern and central Europe for driving the Russian state-building process, forcing military reform and shaping Russia’s visions of Empire. Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 examines the course of this struggle and explains how Russia’s ultimate prevalence resulted from new strategies of military colonization in addition to improvements in army command-and-control, logistics, and tactics.

  • Building Sovereignty in the Late Ottoman World: Imperial Subjects, Consular Networks and Documentation of Individual Identities
    Building Sovereignty in the Late Ottoman World: Imperial Subjects, Consular Networks and Documentation of Individual Identities Merve Ispahani Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Merve Ispahani All rights reserved ABSTRACT Building Sovereignty in the Late Ottoman World: Imperial Subjects, Consular Networks and Documentation of Individual Identities Merve Ispahani This dissertation examines the formation of Ottoman sovereignty in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries at the disciplinary intersection of international law and history. As an attempt to break away from a strictly territorial understanding of sovereignty as a fixed legal construct, it explores shifting definitions of sovereignty within and across the boundaries of the Ottoman Empire as well as its semi-autonomous provinces. It argues that Ottoman sovereignty was constantly re-defined by inter-imperial rivalries, jurisdictional politics and the formation of modern subjecthood and citizenship in the emerging arena of international law during the period in question. Exploring what it meant to be an Ottoman and a foreigner in the Ottoman Empire during this period, I argue that subjecthood; nationality and citizenship often appear as instrumental categories incidentally utilized by ordinary individuals when deemed necessary. A careful examination of the Ottoman passport regime, on the other hand, proves that there already existed a prolonged process of experimentation on individual documentation and movement controls during the second half of the nineteenth history. Studying a collection of identity cards and passports, I argue that individual documentation was more important for some subjects than others, who needed to maintain and negotiate their identities under overlapping structures of multiple sovereignties.

Link to the lesson You will learn with whom Poland waged wars in the 17th century; how the Polish‐Russian war ended; what the course of the Polish‐Turkish war was. Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu The 17th century was a period of armed conflicts for Poland, which weakened the country. One of the countries with which Poland waged war was Russia. After the death of Ivan IV the Terrible, a tsar of the Rurik dynasty, Russia faced deep crisis, uprisings and riots. This time was called as the „Time of Troubles”. This situation in the Tsardom of Russia was a consequence of the internal politics of the deceased tsar. In 1598 Tsar Feodor died, thus ending the reign of the Rurikids. The power was then seized by the boyar Boris Godunow, who was accused of murdering tsar Feodor's brother - Dmitry. However, a man calling himself Dmitri and professing to be the rightful heir to the throne returned to Russia in unclear circumstances and took over power. He married a daughter of a Polish magnate, Marina Mniszchówna. His reign had no support from his compatriots, because he did not respect Orthodox customs and surrounded himself with Polish Catholics. This led to riots in which Dmitry was slain. Power was then seized by the boyar Vasili IV of Russia.
