İtalyan Birleşimi Üzerine Osmanlı Görüşü 1796-1861

Öz

İtalya Krallığı yaklaşık yarım asırlık bir mücadelenin ardından resmen kurulurken Osmanlı İmparatorluğu son yüzyılını yaşıyordu. İtalyan Birleşmesi ise tarihte bu iki devletin birbiriyle karşılaştığı önemli dönemlerden biriydi. Bu çalışma, Napolyon Bonaparte Döneminde başlayan ve İtalya Krallığı'nın resmi olarak ilan edildiği 1861 yılına kadar süren İtalyan Birleşmesinin Osmanlı İmparatorluğu perspektifinden bir incelemesidir. Bu dönemde, İtalyan yarımadasındasın oldukça hareketliydi ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile ilgili ya da tamamen alakasız çok sayıda olay meydana geldi; Osmanlı Devleti tüm bu olayları büyük bir titizlikle takip edip inceledi ve kendisini değişen konjonktürde yer bulabilmek ve Avrupa’nın iç çatışmalarından faydalanabilmek adına konumlandırmaya çalıştı. Bu makale, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun İtalyan yarımadasında vuku bulan olayları nasıl ve ne amaçla gözlemlediğini ve bu gözlemlerden hareketle ne gibi eylemlerde bulunduğunu inceleyecektir.
