Fine, Co-Chair Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Mary Kelley Professor Rudi Lindner Barbara Reeves-Ellington, University of Oxford © Nevila Pahumi 2016 For my family ii Acknowledgements This project has come to life thanks to the support of people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is now the time and my great pleasure to acknowledge each of them and their efforts here. My long-time advisor John Fine set me on this path. John’s recovery, ten years ago, was instrumental in directing my plans for doctoral study. My parents, like many well-intended first generation immigrants before and after them, wanted me to become a different kind of doctor. Indeed, I made a now-broken promise to my father that I would follow in my mother’s footsteps, and study medicine. But then, I was his daughter, and like him, I followed my own dream. When made, the choice was not easy. But I will always be grateful to John for the years of unmatched guidance and support. In graduate school, I had the great fortune to study with outstanding teacher-scholars. It is my committee members whom I thank first and foremost: Pamela Ballinger, John Fine, Rudi Lindner, Müge Göcek, Mary Kelley, and Barbara Reeves-Ellington.

  • Arguments Towards the Rising of Ottoman Empire Osmanli Kuruluş Dönemi Tartişmalari
    Ayşen ÇAKIRAY ARGUMENTS TOWARDS THE RISING OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE OSMANLI KURULUŞ DÖNEMİ TARTIŞMALARI Ayşen ÇAKIRAY1 ÖZET Osmanlı Devleti küçük bir uç beyliği iken büyük bir imparatorluğa dönüşmüş ve altı asır boyunca çok geniş bir coğrafyada hüküm sürmüştür. Bu büyük imparatorluğun kimler tarafından kurulduğu, temelleri ve niteliği üzerine 20. Yüzyıldan itibaren birçok tez ortaya konmuştur. Bu dönemden itibaren Modern Osmanlı yazıcılığında Osmanlı’nın kuruluşu meselesi önemli bir tartışma konusu haline gelmiştir. Herbert Adams Gibbons’un “Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun Kuruluşu / Foundation of the Ottoman Empire” adlı kitabında ortaya koyduğu görüşler ile bunun tam karşıtı olarak Fuat köprülü’nün görüşleri Osmanlı kuruluş dönemi tartışmalarındaki ilk yaklaşımlardır. Wittek ‘in gazi çevreleri ve onların değerler sistemi hakkındaki tezi 1980’lerde RP. Lindner, Gy. Kaldy-Nagy, R.C. Jennings, Colin Imber, C. Heywood gibi Osmanlı tarihçileri tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Rudi Paul Lindner; “kutsal savaş” Gaza düşüncesine karşı görüş belirtmiştir. Osmanlıların dinsel kaygısının olmadığını söylemiştir. Colin İmber ve Feridun Emecen’in kaynakların yetersizliği olduğunu söyleyerek Osmanlının kökenleri hakkında görüşlerini belirtmiştir. Bu çalışmadaki amacımız Osmanlı Kuruluşunu Gibbons, Fuat Köprülü, Paul Wittek, Colin Imber, Halil Inalcık gibi tarihçilerin ortaya koyduğu görüşler çerçevesinde incelenmeye çalışmaktır. Osmanlı kuruluşu ile ilgili bütün görüşler değerlendirilecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Osmanlı kuruluşu, Kutsal Savaş, Gaza tezi, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun kökenleri ABSTRACT The Ottoman state was a border beylic at the beginning, then it turned to an empire and dominated a wide geography during a centuries. Many theses have presented since 20th century about who ruled the empire and its origins and its quality. Since this period modern Ottoman records about the problem of Ottoman rising became an important discussion subject.

Years of misrule, war, and oppression of its various nationalities had virtually driven the Turks from Europe, leaving the weakened Empire on the verge of collapse. By the 1870s the Armenians were the most troubling group, having gained international sympathy at the Congress of Berlin.

    Slobodan G. Markovich DOI:10.2298/BALC0940093M Original scholarly work School of Political Sciences University of Belgrade Anglophiles in Balkan Christian States (1862–1920)* Abstract: The life stories of five Balkan Anglophiles emerging in the nineteenth century — two Serbs, Vladimir Jovanović (Yovanovich) and Čedomilj Mijatović (Chedomille Mijatovich); two Greeks, Ioannes ( John) Gennadios and Eleutherios Venizelos; and one Bulgarian, Ivan Evstratiev Geshov — reflect, each in its own way, major episodes in relations between Britain and three Balkan Christian states (Serbia, the Hellenic Kingdom and Bulgaria) between the 1860s and 1920. Their education, cultural pat- terns, relations and models inspired by Britain are looked at, showing that they acted as intermediaries between British culture and their own and played a part in the best and worst moments in the history of mutual relations, such as the Serbian-Ottoman crisis of 1862, the Anglo-Hellenic crisis following the Dilessi murders, Bulgarian atrocities and the Eastern Crisis, unification of Bulgaria and the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885, the Balkan Wars 1912–13, the National Schism in Greece. Their biog- raphies are therefore essential for understanding Anglo-Balkan relations in the pe- riod under study. The roles of two British Balkanophiles (a Bulgarophile, James David Bourchier, and a Hellenophile, Ronald Burrows) are looked at as well. In conclusion, a comparison of the Balkan Anglophiles is offered, and their Britain-inspired cultural and institutional legacy to their countries is shown in the form of a table. Keywords: Anglo-Balkan relations, Balkan Anglophiles, Balkans, Serbia, Hellenic Kingdom, Bulgaria, British Balkanophiles ccording to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word Anglophilia first appeared in 1896 meaning “unusual admiration or partiality for England,A English ways, or things English”.
