Xerox University Microfilms INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, th e quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns wh«ch may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) o r section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This m a y have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages t o insura You complete continuity. 2. When a n image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good im age of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed die photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left h a n d corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until com plete. 4. The m a jo rity of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, how ever, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

CONCLUSION ....................................... 283 BIBLIOGRAPHY .............................................. 290 CHAPTER I RUSSIA AiqO THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY The eighteenth century was a period of dynamic expan­ sion for the Russian Empire. During this century Russia's rulers attempted to stabilize the empire's frontiers in order to assure the country's military and economic security. In the South, Russian foreign policy goals were to obtain more defensible borders, to eliminate the threat of raids by the Crimean Tartars and to acquire a commercial outlet on the Black Sea.^ In order to attain these objectives Russia had to overcome the strong and persistent opposition of the Ottoman Empire. Obviously it is impossible in one brief chapter to present a detailed account of the complex history of Russian-Ottoman relations in the course of the eighteenth century. However, a few indications of the general trends of Russian foreign policy toward the Ottoman Empire are see Cyril E. Black, "The Pattern of Russian Objectives," Russian Foreign Policy: Essays in Historical Perspective, ëd. IV O J. Lederer (New Haven, Conn., 1962), Part I, Chap. I, pp. 3-38. 2 necessary in order to understand Russia's later policies and to show the changing power relationship between the two em­ pires. The period between the accession of Peter I and the death of Paul I marked an important transitional period in Russian-Ottoman relations. At the time Peter assumed sole control of the Russian throne, Europe acknowledged the Otto­ man Empire as a great power. Although in retrospect histo­ rians have shown that the causes for the decline of the Turkish empire were present before the beginning of the eighteenth century, these problems were not necessarily recognized by contemporary European statesmen. To many it appeared that while Ottoman expansion into Europe had been checked, there was no assurance that this was a permanent setback for the Turks. The European powers saw little to indicate any substantial decline in Ottoman power. Even the wars of Peter I against the Ottoman Empire seemed to sub­ stantiate the fact that the Turks were still a strong power. Despite impressive gains made in the South during Peter’s first Turkish war, his second war with the Ottoman Empire led to a complete Russian defeat and to the surrender of most of the previous gains. Peter's policy toward the Ottoman Empire exhibited the opportunism and improvisation that characterized much of his activity.. It is difficult to discern clear and consistent objectives in Peter's Ottoman policy. Many of his plans 3 were hastily formulated in response to particular situations. Peter's principal objective in his first Turkish war appar­ ently was to obtain a more secure frontier in the South.^ This was in keeping with previous Russian policy aimed at eliminating the threat of raids by the Crimean Tartars. The war opened in 1695 with an attempt by the Russians to secure the city of Azov. The first attempt failed but the follow­ ing year a second attack and siege, made more effective by the use of a fleet, led to the capture of Azov. Peter pro­ ceeded to expand his fleet and build a naval station at Taganrog on the Sea of Azov. He intended eventually to break out of the Sea of Azov and obtain a foothold on the Black Sea. Peter believed that the alliance he had concluded with Austria against the Ottoman Empire would result in a resounding victory. However, the Austrians, faced by ap­ proaching danger in the West, abandoned Peter and signed an advantageous peace treaty with the Turks at Karlowitz. Rus­ sia secured only a two year truce. Peter was bitterly dis­ appointed but continued to negotiate with the Turks. Peter finally concluded peace with the signing of the Treaty of Constantinople in July 1700. The Russians had made high de­ mands in the course of the negotiations. Their terms ^Vasili Klyuchevsky, Peter the Great, trans. Liliana Archibald (New York, 1958), p. 58. 4 included the demand for access to the Black Sea as well as guarantees of religious freedom and freedom from excessive taxation for the Balkan Christians. Although Peter was un­ able to obtain these demands, he did make significant ter­ ritorial gains. Russia obtained Ottoman recognition of the conquest of Azov and Taganrog and also secured the right to send a permanent diplomatic representative to Constanti­ nople. ^ Russia had concluded peace with the Turks in 1700 partly because of the tsar's necessity to free himself for action in the North against Sweden. Following the defeat of Charles XII at Poltava, the Swedish monarch fled to the Ottoman Empire. Late in 1710, with French support, Charles successfully incited the Turks to war against Russia. Peter reluctantly embarked on this new war. Peter's second Turk­ ish war is noteworthy for the new policies which the tsar adopted. In terms of long range significance one of the most important policies was Peter's call to the Balkan Christians to rise up against their Moslem overlords.

  • The Crimean Khanate, Ottomans and the Rise of the Russian Empire*
    STRUGGLE FOR EAST-EUROPEAN EMPIRE: 1400-1700 The Crimean Khanate, Ottomans and the Rise of the Russian Empire* HALİL İNALCIK The empire of the Golden Horde, built by Batu, son of Djodji and the grand son of Genghis Khan, around 1240, was an empire which united the whole East-Europe under its domination. The Golden Horde empire comprised ali of the remnants of the earlier nomadic peoples of Turkic language in the steppe area which were then known under the common name of Tatar within this new political framework. The Golden Horde ruled directly över the Eurasian steppe from Khwarezm to the Danube and över the Russian principalities in the forest zone indirectly as tribute-paying states. Already in the second half of the 13th century the western part of the steppe from the Don river to the Danube tended to become a separate political entity under the powerful emir Noghay. In the second half of the 14th century rival branches of the Djodjid dynasty, each supported by a group of the dissident clans, started a long struggle for the Ulugh-Yurd, the core of the empire in the lower itil (Volga) river, and for the title of Ulugh Khan which meant the supreme ruler of the empire. Toktamish Khan restored, for a short period, the unity of the empire. When defeated by Tamerlane, his sons and dependent clans resumed the struggle for the Ulugh-Khan-ship in the westem steppe area. During ali this period, the Crimean peninsula, separated from the steppe by a narrow isthmus, became a refuge area for the defeated in the steppe.

  • John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and the Quasi-War with France
    John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and the Quasi-War with France David Loudon General University Honors Professor Robert Griffith, Faculty Advisor American University, Spring 2010 1 John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and the Quasi-War with France Abstract This paper examines the split of the Federalist Party and subsequent election defeat in 1800 through the views of John Adams and Alexander Hamilton on the Quasi-War with France. More specifically, I will be focusing on what caused their split on the French issue. I argue that the main source of conflict between the two men was ideological differences on parties in contemporary American politics. While Adams believed that there were two parties in America and his job was to remain independent of both, Hamilton saw only one party (the Republicans), and believed that it was the goal of all “real” Americans to do whatever was needed to defeat that faction. This ideological difference between the two men resulted in their personal disdain for one another and eventually their split on the French issue. Introduction National politics in the early American republic was a very uncertain venture. The founding fathers had no historical precedents to rely upon. The kind of government created in the American constitution had never been attempted in the Western World; it was a piecemeal system designed in many ways more to gain individual state approval than for practical implementation. Furthermore, while the fathers knew they wanted opposition within their political system, they rejected political parties as evil and dangerous to the public good. This tension between the belief in opposition and the rejection of party sentiment led to confusion and high tensions during the early American republic.

  • American and Russian Imperialism
    American and Russian Imperialism American Imperialism At the end of the 19th century, the USA tried successfully to enlarge its spheres of influence* inside and outside the Americas. It started to play a more active role in global politics than it did before and used military force to achieve its goals. But which driving forces were responsible for such a change? First, the industrial revolution* had created challenges that required a new outlook. The production of more 5 goods and the need for additional sources of raw materials and new markets called for Americans to begin to look further than their home country. Second, the USA had been driven by the idea of Manifest Destiny,* the idea that the U.S. was to expand over the whole continent of North America. With the ending of the frontier* and the completion of westward expansion, the conviction grew that the United States would have to find new outlets for its increasing population as well as its agricultural and industrial production. Other reasons to take part in the 10 Imperialist struggle were national prestige as one of the global powers and also security concerns. The seizure of the Philippines from Spain was – at least in part – driven by an American desire to keep the islands out of Japan - ese hands. To promote its new policy of expansion, the USA needed more military power, especially sea power. This was in part due to the success of Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, founder of the Naval War College in Newport, 15 Rhode Island. He wrote a popular book – The Influence of Sea Power upon History – that called for the USA to improve its strength on the basis of sea power which he thought to be a decisive force, making nations and em- pires great and able to stand the test of time.

  • Chapter 6: Federalists and Republicans, 1789-1816
    Federalists and Republicans 1789–1816 Why It Matters In the first government under the Constitution, important new institutions included the cabinet, a system of federal courts, and a national bank. Political parties gradually developed from the different views of citizens in the Northeast, West, and South. The new government faced special challenges in foreign affairs, including the War of 1812 with Great Britain. The Impact Today During this period, fundamental policies of American government came into being. • Politicians set important precedents for the national government and for relations between the federal and state governments. For example, the idea of a presidential cabinet originated with George Washington and has been followed by every president since that time • President Washington’s caution against foreign involvement powerfully influenced American foreign policy.
