Ottoman-Qajareen Relationships in 1796-1847

Abstract

The study of Ottoman-Iranian relations is very difficult, because the two countries are basically two political circles formed as a result of the immersion of multiple political configurations, both geographically and ethnically. At the beginning of the modern era, they reached the extent of their expansion, where their circles were close to each other until the conflict erupted between them on areas rich in economic wealth, or on areas that are strategic crossings between East and West, which made each circle overwhelm each other depending on the circumstances of power And weakness over a long time.The colonialism of the Ottoman and Iranian states was also an important cause of the military clashes between them, which led to the conclusion of many treaties and protocols for reconciliation between them, under direct and influential pressure from the two competing states over the Qajar sovereignty, Russia and Britain, due to the wide scope of their influence. As well as their common interests in each of the Ottoman and Qajar states. These protocols, which have been overturned by the Qajar state, undoubtedly explained their tendency to seize and expand whenever the opportunity arises.The importance of this research is that it sheds light on an important historical era in which the two countries concluded treaties and conventions that caused Iraq many of the border problems with the Persians and the Turks later, because he inherited a heavy legacy of problems. In addition to foreign interventions in crystallizing the events of this stage of political interactions and economic change in the relationships between the two countries, especially in the second half of the nineteenth century.
