ILI CRISIS OF 1878-1881’S AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

While in 1865 Yakup Bey founded the state of Yetteşeher taking under his control the southern region of Tanrı mount, approximately during the same period also ‘Ilı/Tarancy Sultanate’ was founded in Ilı region of northern part of the Tanrı mounts. It’s probable that gradual strengthening of Yakup Bey’s state was a means of inconvenience for the Tzarist Russia as the Russians accelerated their plans and strategies for termination of these two states. On the other hand Qing/ Chinese empire approached seriously its plans of occupying the regions under Yakup bey’s control for the purpose of liquidating the threats coming from the west. While Yakup bey was trying to take under his control the southern and northern parts of Tanrı mounts in 1871, Tzarist Russia sent its forces and liquidated the Ilı/Tarancy sultanate by occupying the Ilı region. On the other hand Chinese army under Zo Zongtang’s command coming from the east was approaching the Tanrı mounts. After that Qing/Chinese army took under control south of Tanrı mounts by defeating Yakup bey it has demanded from Russia to leave the Ilı region which they have occupied. So the Ilı region has brought face to face the two big empires. During the years of 1878-1881 very tough diplomatic struggles have been made between the Tzarist Russia and Qing / Chinese empire in order to solve the Ilı crisis. While the Russians couldn’t afford the war with Qing / Chinese armies because of the heavy financial consequences of the war with the Ottoman in 1877-1878, Qing / Chinese armies also couldn’t risk the war with the Russians because of the pressure of Japans in the east, the English in the west and as their control over the south of Tanrı mounts was not yet strengthened. In such a circumstance like this the Ilı crisis was solved by the “Livadiye treaty’ between the two empires in 1879 and ‘Petersburg treaty’ or ‘Ilı treaty’ in 1881 without any war. As a result of these treaties while the Russians took 9 million roubles from Qing / Chinese state as a compensation, Qing/ Chinese government was able to include the Ilı region within the borders of Qing / Chinese state. In this study the causes of the occurrence of Ilı crisis and tough periods of its solution by “Livadiye treaty” and “Peterburg treaty” have been analyzed.
