The Uprisings and Occupations in Iași and Bucharest During the Ottoman-Russian War of 1768–1774
Abstract
The principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia on the western border of the Ottoman Empire were directly exposed to the devastating effects of the eighteenth -century wars. The harsh conditions brought by war, such as disease, hunger, and famine, caused people to abandon their homes and lands, while also increasing discontent toward Ottoman administration. Russia’s protectionist policies emphasizing Orthodox identity, along with various promises, led the local population to revolt and support Russia. First Ottomans sent orders to reduce the burden of war on the people, they issued two fatwas equating the rebels with the enemy in response to the uprisings and the facilitation of the Russian advance. In this article, I examine the Russo-Ottoman War of 1768–1774 through the lens of the occupations of Iaşi and Bucharest and the uprisings in these principalities, arguing that these events contributed to the Ottoman failure. The study addresses topics such as the revolts of the inhabitants of Iaşi and Bucharest and the fatwas issued by the Ottomans, which are only briefly mentioned in the existing literature. The article aims to emphasize the importance of regional dynamics in the Ottoman-Russian struggle and to fill gaps in the historiography of the 1768–1774 Ottoman-Russian War.
