Kolebanja u odnosima porte i Evrope od 'Jedrenskog događaja' (1703) do uspostave stabilne vladavine Ahmeda III (1706)

Abstract

Ahmed III (1703-1730) koji je zahvaljujući pobuni u Jedrenu izabran za sultana, morao se odmah po dolasku na vlast suočiti sa negativnom nasleđem Velikog rata (1683-1699), koje je nastavilo da utiče na unutrašnju i spoljnu politiku osmanske države. Istraživanje je zasnovano na neobjavljenoj građi iz The National Archive, Kew Garden, London (Public Record Office). U prvom redu obuhvaćena je prepiska iz fonda State Papers, Turkey (serija 97). Izveštaji stranih ambasadora, koji otkrivaju mnogo toga što zvanična osmanska istoriografija prećutkuje, uzeti su kao osnova u objašnjenju događaja, koji su obeležili ovo razdoblje u istoriji Osmanskog carstva i njegovih odnosa sa Evropom.

In the period between 1703 and 1706, the Port was faced with resolutions of series of questions, most of which were the legacy of The Great War. Its power to act was limited by bad finances that were recovering gradually, but insufficiently. However, the question of Spanish legacy launched Europe into a new conflict. Rebellion in Hungary was its immediate consequence. This led French diplomacy to become involved in engaging the Port in a new war against the Habsburgs. According to methodology and practical means, there was almost no difference between Chateauneuf and Ferriol. Their actions represented traditional politics of Versailles towards the Port, which underlined pragmatism as the main course of action. Other diplomats could not represent serious competition in this field. The fact that, during the period analyzed here, the Port did not dare to openly lend a hand to rebels in Hungary, is justified by unresolved issues with Russia, as well as with a new upheaval in Arabia.
