Project Summary
Potential Title: `` Anglo-Ottoman relations, 1874-1885: in the era of W.E.Gladstone``
The aim of this research thesis will try to explore the 'destruction' of the Ottoman-Anglo alliance with the evolution of the events in the circle of W.E.Gladstone's policies and his policy makers against the Ottoman Empire. While the study will be based on the statesmen's political strategies and their sense of views, it will try to locate the history of the breaking points of the empires. Moreover, the campaigns against the Turks and the election strategies supported the diplomatic relations to transform.
In conjunction with the evidence of the diplomatic relations and the promotion of the public analysis, this work will try to seek the possible answers to the diplomatic alternation until the beginning of the 20th century under the analyse of the W.E.Gladstone`s political authobiography against the Ottoman Empire.
