Abstract
Tezimizin Konusu, “Akdeniz’de Bir Uluslararası Çekişme Alanı: Yedi Ada Sorunu 1797-1815”tir. Bu dönem, Fransa’nın Avrupa ve özellikle Akdeniz’de takip ettiği politikadan dolayı meydana gelen siyasi ve stratejik değişimler ve İngiltere, Rusya, Avusturya gibi büyük devletlerin Osmanlı Devleti üzerindeki yıkıcı faaliyetleri ve siyasi çıkar ilişkileri açısından önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Yedi Ada ve ona yakın Osmanlı tebaaları üzerindeki devletlerin faaliyetlerine karşı Osmanlı Devleti’nin kendisini en az zararla kurtarma çabaları açık bir şekilde gösterilmektedir. Mahalli düzeyde de olsa, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu tarihinde ilk anayasasının ortaya çıkması ve otonom bir yönetim şekli oluşturan bir cumhuriyetin kurulması bahis konusu edilmiştir. Tezimizde üzerinde durular önemli bir konu da; bu süreçte Akdeniz’de ve özellikle Yedi Ada’da İngiltere, Rusya ve Fransa’nın kendi aralarındaki siyasi ve askeri çekişmelerin Osmanlı Devleti’ne nasıl yansıdığıdır. Ayrıca Osmanlı Devleti, bu siyaset ve değişime karşı nasıl bir politika takip etti? Sorusuna cevap bulmaya çalıştık.
