18. yüzyıldan itibaren Osmanlı Devleti’ni parçalayarak Kafkasya bölgesini ele
geçirme planları yapan Rusya’nın bölgede işgal hareketlerine karşı Kafkas
halklarının bir asra yakın verdikleri özgürlük mücadelesi, 1859’da Şeyh
Şamil’in teslim alınmasıyla sona ermiş ve böylece Rusya, Kafkasya bölgesini ele
geçirmeye başlamıştır. Rusların, Kafkasya bölgesinde kazandıkları her askeri
başarı ve Kırım ve Kafkasya bölgelerindeki Müslüman halka karşı uyguladıkları
baskı, zulüm politikaları, beraberinde zorunlu göçü getirdiğinden, bu
bölgelerden Osmanlı Devleti’ne göç hareketleri kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Osmanlı
Devleti, kendisine sığınan Çerkesleri ve diğer göçmenleri, dönemin şartları ve
eldeki imkânlar doğrultusunda Anadolu’nun çeşitli bölgelerine iskân etmiştir.
Çerkeslerin Anadolu’da iskân edildikleri önemli bölgelerden biri de, Sakarya
bölgesidir. Coğrafi konumu, iklimi, ulaşım imkânları, sahip olduğu kaynaklar,
verimli ve boş arazileri ile göçmenler için önemli yerleşim merkezlerinden biri
olan Sakarya’da, Çerkeslerin yerleştirildikleri yerlerden birisi de, Maksudiye
köyüdür. Bu çalışmada, genel anlamda Çerkesler ve Maksudiye köyü ele alınarak
gerekli değerlendirmeler yapılmaya çalışılmıştır.
Abstract
The liberation struggle of the Caucasus peoples
against the occupation movements of Russia, which made the plans to seize the
Caucasus region by tearing the Ottoman Empire from the 18th century onwards,
came to an end with the surrender of Sheikh Shamil in 1859 and thus Russia has
begun to take over the Caucasus region. The migration to the Ottoman Empire was
inevitable since oppression policies and forced immigration they had imposed
against the Muslim people in the Crimea and Caucasus regions after the every
Russian military achievement in the Caucasus region. The Ottoman Empire settled
on Circassians and other immigrants who took refuge in various regions of
Anatolia in accordance with the conditions of the time and the means available.
One of the important places where Circassians are settled in Anatolia is the
Sakarya region. One of the important settlement centers for immigrants is
Sakarya with its geographical location, climate, transportation possibilities,
resources, efficient and empty areas, and Maksudiye village in Sakarya is one
of the places where Circassians are settled. In this study, Circassians and
Maksudiye village were considered in general terms and tried to make necessary
evaluations.
