dc.description.abstract | This thesis aims to provide an indebt analysis of the British relief to the
Ottoman Refugees of 1877-78 Russo-Turkish War (’93 Refugees). The course of the
war resulted in an enormous exodus especially through the Balkans. Hundreds of
thousands of Ottoman subjects had to flee towards the heartlands of the Ottoman
Empire in destitute conditions. The official British foreign policy was determined as
neutrality, however the British civilian initiative together with the diplomatic actors
showed their support to the Ottomans through humanitarian relief. In August 1877, a
campaign was initiated in London, The Turkish Compassionate Fund was established
especially for the ’93 Refugees and the other British organizations soon got involved
in the relief of non-combatants. The British Ambassador to the Porte superintended
the whole process and mobilised the diplomatic network under his command thus
iv
philanthropy was used as a tool of diplomacy. The British endeavour to succour ’93
Refugees was met with content by the Ottoman authorities and received the Sultan’s
appreciation.
This thesis reveals a rarely known episode of Anglo-Ottoman history far from
the classical approaches of the diplomatic history of the period and handles the issue
as a different dimension of the Anglo-Ottoman relations. | en_US |
