Abstract

Sultan Abdulaziz ascended the Ottoman throne in a difficult period of political and economic crisis. During the 19th century, the empire was on the point of disintegration due to rebellions in the Balkans, especially in the region of Wallachia-Moldavia. The state’s finances almost collapsed. Internally, an important opposition front formed with the influence of the Young Ottomans. This opposition grew stronger over time within the military and political bureaucracy and played a critical role in Abdulaziz’s detohrement and Murad V becoming the sultan. In this study, the important events that took place in the Abdulaziz period and the developments following his dethronement are examined through some American newspapers and American State Department documents. The last period of the Empire was examined with different documents by giving a new perspective to the Ottoman history.

Abstract

Sultan Abdülaziz, Osmanlı Devleti’nin siyasi ve ekonomik yönden zorlu bir döneminde tahtta geçti. 19’uncu yüzyıl boyunca imparatorluk Balkan coğrafyasında ve özellikle Eflak-Boğdan bölgesinde yaşanan isyanlar nedeniyle dağılma noktasına gelmişti. Devletin maliyesi neredeyse çökmüştü. Dâhilde ise Genç Osmanlıların etkisiyle önemli bir muhalefet cephesi oluşmuştu. Bu muhalefet zamanla askeri ve siyasi bürokrasi içerisinde güçlendi ve Abdülaziz’in tahtan indirilip V. Murad’ın padişah olmasında kritik bir rol oynadı. Bu çalışmada Abdülaziz döneminde gerçekleşen önemli olaylar ile tahtan indirilmesi sonrasında yaşanan hadiselerin bazı Amerikan gazeteleri ile Amerikan Dışişleri kaynaklarında nasıl yer aldığı incelenmiştir. İmparatorluğun son dönemi farklı belgelerle Osmanlı tarihine yeni bir bakış açısı kazandırılarak değerlendirilmiştir.
