Name, Last Name: Deniz Armağan Akto Signature: iii ABSTRACT OTTOMAN FORTRESSES AND GARRISONS IN THE HUNGARIAN AND THE EASTERN FRONTIERS (1578-1664) Akto, Deniz Armağan M.A., Department of History Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kayhan Orbay September 2019, 138 Pages In this thesis, the fortresses and the garrisons in the Hungarian and the Eastern frontiers of the Ottoman Empire are taken as the main examination subjects. Ottoman military architecture and garrisons are evaluated according to the one of the arguments of the “Military Revolution” debate which suggest that emergence of the trace italienne fortresses caused the growth in the size of armies and garrisons. In this context, the Hungarian and Eastern frontiers of the Ottoman Empire are compared between the years of 1578-1664 to discuss that the trace italienne fortresses were not the single factor that affected the size of garrisons, the number of artillerymen in garrisons, and the infantry/cavalry ratio. According to findings of this thesis, the size of the garrisons was similar in both of the frontiers, while the infantry/cavalry ratio and the number of the artillerymen was higher in numbers in the Hungarian frontier. Instead of single factor, there were more than one reason that affected these elements. These factors were the topography of the region, the location of the fortresses, wars, and rebellions. Also, Ottoman’s choice of not building trace italienne fortresses until the 18th century is discussed and evaluated as a military preference, and the Ottoman goals and strategies and the establishment of the fortress network on both frontiers are discussed. Keywords: Ottoman Empire, Hungarian Frontier, Eastern Frontier, Military History iv ÖZ MACARISTAN VE DOĞU SERHADLERİNDE OSMANLI KALE VE GARNİZONLARI (1578-1664) Akto, Deniz Armağan M.A., Department of History Tez Yöneticisi: Doç. Dr. Kayhan Orbay Eylül 2019, 138 Sayfa Bu tezde Osmanlının Macaristan ve Doğu serhadlerindeki kale ve garnizonları incelenmektedir. Bu inceleme yapılırken “Askeri Devrim” tartışmalarının bir argümanı olan trace italienne kale mimarisinin ortaya çıkışıyla orduların ve garnizonların büyüdüğü tezi ele alınıp iki serhaddeki kale mimarisi ve garnizonları üzerinden bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır. Bu bağlamda, trace italienne kalelerin garnizon büyüklüğünü etkilediği tezine karşı olarak Macaristan ve Doğu serhadleri karşılaştırıldığında garnizon büyüklüklerinin birbirine denk, piyade atlı oranı ve topçu sayılarının ise Macar serhaddinde Doğuya göre daha yüksek miktarda olduğu saptanmıştır. Bunun tek bir sebepten değil, bölgenin topografik özellikleri, kalelerin lokasyonları, savaşlar ve isyanlardır gibi çeşitli nedenlerden ötürü değiştiği tartışılacaktır. Tezin bulgularına göre. Ayrıca Osmanlıların 18.yy’a kadar kadar trace italienne kale mimarisine tam anlamıyla geçmemesinin sebebi olarak, bu askeri mimariyi o dönem için bir seçenek olarak görmedikleri argümanı da ele alınacaktır. Bunlara ek olarak Doğu ve Macar serhaddindeki Osmanlı hedef ve stratejileriyle birlikte bu serhadlerdeki kale ağının kuruluşu da bu tezde konu edilecektir.

    Teşkilat ve Đşleyiş Bakımından Doğu Hududundaki Osmanlı Kaleleri ve Mevâcib Defterleri The Ottoman Castles in Eastern Border of in Terms of Organization and Operation and Mevacib Defters Orhan Kılıç * Özet Bir çeşit askeri sayım niteliğinde olan mevâcib defterleri ulûfe sistemi içinde olan askeri sınıfların tespiti için en önemli arşiv kaynaklarıdır. Bu defterler sayesinde merkez ve merkez dışında görev yapan yevmiyyeli askerlerin mevcudunu, aldıkları ücretleri, isimlerini ve teşkilatlanmalarını tespit etmek mümkündür. Osmanlı coğrafyasının değişik bölgelerindeki hudut kaleleri, iç bölgelerdeki kalelere göre çok daha kalabalık ve askeri sınıfların çeşitliliği bakımından daha da zengin olmuştur. Bu kalelerde kadrolu askerlerinin yanı sıra merkezden görevlendirilen nöbetçi askerler de muhafaza hizmetinde bulunmuşlardır. Bu yapılanma, hudut kalelerinin bulunduğu şehirlerin adeta bir asker şehri görüntüsü vermesine sebep olmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: Osmanlı, Van, Erzurum, Yeniçeri, Mevâcib, Kale teşkilatı. Abstract Mevacib defters, a type of military counting, are the most important archive sources to determine the military corps in ulufe. Due to these defter, it is possible to identify the size, payments, names and organizations of the retained soldiers working in and out of center. Border castles in the different parts of the Ottoman geography were more crowded than the inland castles and richer according to the variety of military corps. In these castles, sentries assigned from the center gave maintenance service as well as permanent soldiers. This settlement made the cities in which these castles exist have an appearance of a military city. Keywords: Ottoman, Van, Erzurum, Mevâcib, Janissary, Castle organization. * Prof. Dr., Fırat Üniversitesi Đnsani ve Sosyal Bilimler Fakültesi Tarih Bölümü Elazığ/TÜRKĐYE.

  • Islamic Gunpowder Empires : Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals / Douglas E
    “Douglas Streusand has contributed a masterful comparative analysis and an up-to- S date reinterpretation of the significance of the early modern Islamic empires. This T book makes profound scholarly insights readily accessible to undergraduate stu- R dents and will be useful in world history surveys as well as more advanced courses.” —Hope Benne, Salem State College E U “Streusand creatively reexamines the military and political history and structures of the SAN Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. He breaks down the process of transformation and makes their divergent outcomes comprehensible, not only to an audience of special- ists, but also to undergraduates and general readers. Appropriate for courses in world, early modern, or Middle Eastern history as well as the political sociology of empires.” D —Linda T. Darling, University of Arizona “Streusand is to be commended for navigating these hearty and substantial historiogra- phies to pull together an analytical textbook which will be both informative and thought provoking for the undergraduate university audience.” GUNPOWDER EMPIRES —Colin Mitchell, Dalhousie University Islamic Gunpowder Empires provides an illuminating history of Islamic civilization in the early modern world through a comparative examination of Islam’s three greatest empires: the Otto- IS mans (centered in what is now Turkey), the Safavids (in modern Iran), and the Mughals (ruling the Indian subcontinent). Author Douglas Streusand explains the origins of the three empires; compares the ideological, institutional, military, and economic contributors to their success; and L analyzes the causes of their rise, expansion, and ultimate transformation and decline. Streusand depicts the three empires as a part of an integrated international system extending from the At- lantic to the Straits of Malacca, emphasizing both the connections and the conflicts within that AMIC system.

That is, journals and associations which sought to represent and promote the interests of particular ethnic communities residing in the vast domains of the Sultan. While these journals and organisations entertained the broader socio- political objective of ‘awakening’, by means of education, their community, this invites the question: to what ends? In traditional historiography, the presence of such journals and associations has been taken as a sign of the historical obsolescence of the ‘multi-ethnic’ state. This point of view holds that the formation of these journals and organisations was the first ‘proto-nationalist’ stage in a progressive development which ultimately culminated in the formation of fully fledged nationalist movements and new nation-states.

  • An Ottoman Global Moment
    AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Kahraman Sakul, M.A Washington, DC November, 18, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Kahraman Sakul All Rights Reserved ii AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT Kahraman Sakul, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Gabor Agoston, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to place the Ottoman Empire within its proper context in the Napoleonic Age and calls for a recognition of the crucial role of the Sublime Porte in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy.

Ayrıca, isyancılarla saray arasındaki meşruiyet mücadelesi, çalışmamızın bir diğer konu başlığıdır. Başkentte patlak veren dört büyük isyan bir arada değerlendirilerek, Osmanlı isyanlarının karakteristik özelliklerine ve isyanlarda izlenilen meşruiyet pratiklerine ışık tutulması hedeflenmiştir.

  • The Making of Sultan Süleyman: a Study of Process/Es of Image-Making and Reputation Management
    THE MAKING OF SULTAN SÜLEYMAN: A STUDY OF PROCESS/ES OF IMAGE-MAKING AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT by NEV ĐN ZEYNEP YELÇE Submitted to the Institute of Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Sabancı University June, 2009 © Nevin Zeynep Yelçe 2009 All Rights Reserved To My Dear Parents Ay şegül and Özer Yelçe ABSTRACT THE MAKING OF SULTAN SÜLEYMAN: A STUDY OF PROCESS/ES OF IMAGE-MAKING AND REPUTATION MANAGEMENT Yelçe, Nevin Zeynep Ph.D., History Supervisor: Metin Kunt June 2009, xv+558 pages This dissertation is a study of the processes involved in the making of Sultan Süleyman’s image and reputation within the two decades preceding and following his accession, delineating the various phases and aspects involved in the making of the multi-layered image of the Sultan. Handling these processes within the framework of Sultan Süleyman’s deeds and choices, the main argument of this study is that the reputation of Sultan Süleyman in the 1520s was the result of the convergence of his actions and his projected image. In the course of this study, main events of the first ten years of Sultan Süleyman’s reign are conceptualized in order to understand the elements employed first in making a Sultan out of a Prince, then in maintaining and enhancing the sultanic image and authority. As such, this dissertation examines the rhetorical, ceremonial, and symbolic devices which came together to build up a public image for the Sultan. Contextualized within a larger framework in terms of both time and space, not only the meaning and role of each device but the way they are combined to create an image becomes clearer.
