Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları The Canal of Suez and the Ottoman Empire

Product description

The suez canal was opened on november 17, 1869 with great ceremonies attended by the french empress eugénie. The construction, which started in 1859 and lasted about a decade, was a long process shaped by various disputes, negotiations, and compromises both between great britain, france, and the ottoman empire and directly between the egyptian khedivate and the bubali. What distinguishes this work of prof. dr. faruk bilici from numerous other works on the same subject is the author's meticulous archival research in overlooked ottoman sources and the ottoman press of the period. The süveyş canal and the ottoman empire complete this missing aspect, showcasing how the süveyş canal project and its construction process were viewed from istanbul and cairo.

"the scholar represents the process of the suez canal, which he states represents ""the final resistance of the ottoman empire against the complete dominance of european buyers over egyptian and ottoman finances"", following the correspondence between babali, british and french governments, ottoman envoys in europe, the project owner and founder of the suez canal company ferdinand de lesseps, and egyptian viceroy ismail pasha, as well as various documents from ottoman sources, while also including the ottoman press of the period." The attitude of the ottoman state, which faced the tanzimat period with the issue of süveyş, was primarily determined by concerns related to the rights of rule. There was concern that egypt's ties with istanbul would loosen, integrating with the world economic system with the opening of the canal to sea trade and navigation. Babali, who thought that the opening of a new path between two seas would give the western powers the opportunity to intervene in egypt, believed that this would cause egypt to lose its rule.

history has proven these concerns to be groundless.
