  • Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770S: a Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising
    Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770s: A Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising by Birol Gundogdu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Birol Gundogdu 2012 Ottoman Constructions of the Morea Rebellion, 1770s: A Comprehensive Study of Ottoman Attitudes to the Greek Uprising Birol Gundogdu Doctor of Philosophy Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The topic of our dissertation concerns the Greek uprisings against the Ottoman Empire, which took place in the context of the Ottoman-Russian struggle of 1768-1774. That is, our research focuses on the Morea Rebellion which is often claimed as not only the first crucial step on the way towards creating an independent Greek state, which came into being in 1829 with the treaty of London, but also occasionally as one of the most significant turning points both for the history of the Ottoman Empire and for the struggle of Greek independence. The meaning of the Morea Rebellion has long been under discussion among Greek historians. While we will deal with Ottoman side of the issue, this study will shed light on matters of Greek historiography which has been generally been created without taking account of the Ottoman side of the story. In the light of Ottoman archival documents as well as writings of earlier, more contemporary sources, we will argue for the complexity and intricacy of the Morea Rebellion, as reflected in the Ottoman documents, many of which have not been used before.

Besnik Bajrami [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n2s2p189 Abstract Albania was one of those countries whose physical and geographical position was tempting and favorable in the Western Balkans as well as South-Eastern Europe. Its position attracted many conquerors and empires through centuries who established their territorial and political hegemony. One of these was also the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, not only a political and economic power of that time, but also with the purpose of following the policy of territorial expansion, it intensified its efforts not only in the Balkans but also in other regions. The conquering policy was mainly focused on the linguistic, educational, cultural and religious unification including even the income, economy, taxes, the assets of this place, going even further aiming the use of the political elite as well as Albanian and Balkan leaders, who were soon under the subjugation and in the service of the Empire. Keywords: Albanian personalities, Ottoman Empire, expansion, viziers 1.
