Özet:

The aim of this thesis is to examine the historical background of the alliances that European Great Powers created for the first time in terms of mutual benefits after wars had ended with the Congress of Vienna in 1815, and the interruption of these alliances with the wars between the Ottoman Empire and Russia (The Crimean War and Ottoman- Russian War, etc.) in the light of Ottoman archival documents. A number of social, political, and economic reasons had some effects on the foundation of these alliances which were called Congress system established after the Congress of Vienna. European Great Powers put some economic and political policies into practice in order to share the Ottoman lands equally since the middle of the 19th century. These policies which the European Powers named as the ‘Eastern Question’ also determined the future of the Ottoman Empire. Although these policies caused clashes among the European Great Powers as happened in the Crimean War and 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian War, they could overcome these clashes in the Congress of Berlin in 1878. However, this was a temporary situation and the agreement among them only lived until the World War I. For this reason, the basic points in these alliances during the period that had started in the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and lasted in the Congress of Berlin in 1878. The effects of these in the future of Europe and accordingly of the Ottoman Empire are important and this thesis is written to examine those points.
