While the Kingdom of Italy was officially established after half a century of struggle, the Ottoman Empire was living its last century. The unification period of Italy was a significant epoch in which these two states coincided with each other in history. This study is the examination of the period of the Italian Unification from the Ottoman point of view, which started in the Napoleonic period and until 1861 when the Kingdom of Italy was officially declared. During this era in the Italian peninsula, numerous events, relevant or irrelevant for the Ottoman Empire took place; On the other hand, the Ottoman state followed and examined all these events with great attention and tried to position itself in order to find a place in the changing world order. This article will examine how and for what purpose the Ottoman Empire observed the events that took place in the Italian peninsula and what actions it took based on these observations.

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.
