The development of railways in the late Ottoman Era
(Bilkent University, 2020) Khan, Amnah Ejaz; Muradov, Argun; Aliyev, Amir; Aliyev, Oruj; Dar, Yasir Amin
Sultan Abdülmecîd initiated the railway project in the Ottoman Empire with the hope that it would bring back the economic and political glory the Empire had once known. This paper explores the wide-ranging political and social consequences of this decision, and the unfolding progress and development of the railways. It examines foreign influences, economic difficulties, political pressures, and rebellions in the Balkans, all of which exerted their own unique pressures on the Ottoman Empire and this project, leaving behind imprints that can be observed to this day. The legacy of the railway project hung heavy on the newly created Republic of Turkey but has since become an asset to the country.

European influence on Ottoman cuisine: From the Tanzimat period (1839-1876) to the 1920s
(Bilkent University, 2021) Aizad, Mahnoor; Mangi, Sehar; Jaffery, Roshaan Abbas; Kapıasheva, Diana; Taleb, Chifae
From the late-1830s through the 1920s, a series of events took place that played a great role in Europeanizing the food and dining etiquette within the Ottoman Empire. Initially, the Ottoman Turks' attitudes toward such changes were not entirely positive; but, as the Crimean War unfolded the nature of the influence altered. Following this, Sultan Abdul Aziz, the Ottoman Emperor at the time, and his entourage travelled to Europe in 1867, which had a profound effect on Ottoman palace cuisine afterwards. Finally, the Bolshevik revolution that took place in 1917 forced members of the royal dynasty to flee from Russia to Turkey and, afterward, Europe. These events brought some Russian dishes to Turkish cuisine. Many European travelers wrote about their journeys and experiences during this period, which will aid in understanding how and what changed with the arrival of the White Russians. This paper examines the events that contributed to the Europeanization of food and dining etiquette in the Ottoman Empire, as well as the degree to which they had an influence on the Ottoman sultans and the people of the Empire.

(Bilkent University, 2020) Kızıltaş, Eda; Gökdam, Dila; Karaca, Efsane; Karalı, Tarık Buğra; Tezcan, Berk
Tarih boyunca süren, sayısız kişinin ölümüne sebebiyet veren savaşlar, aynı zamanda sayısız insanın evsiz, vatansız kalmasına da sebep olmuştur. Bu kayıpların en net gözlenebildiği yerlerden biri de Avrupa’nın doğu tarafında kalan, Karadeniz ile Azak Denizi’nin arasında Sovyetler Birliği içinde yer alan olan, farklı kültüre ev sahipliği yapmış “Karadeniz’in incisi” olarak anılan Kırım topraklarıydı. Kırım’ın bu savaşlarda pek çok kayıp vermesinin ve pek çok ülkenin hedefi haline gelmesinin sebebi stratejik coğrafi konumu ve verimli topraklarıdır. Bu çalışma Türkiye’nin önemli bir parçası olan Kırım Türklerinin, tarih boyunca karşılaştıkları zorlukları ve verdikleri mücadeleyi incelemiştir. Çalışma, Kırım tarihi hakkındaki detaylı akademik incelemeler ve Zafer Karatay’ın anıları ışığında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Özellikle Kırım Savaşı’ndan itibaren yaşanmış olaylar ele alınmıştır. 18 Mayıs 1944 Kırım Sürgünü ve sonrasında İkinci Dünya Savaşı ardından, Türk halkının Türkiye’ye göçü ve bu süreçlerde Zafer Karatay’ın yaşadıkları da ele alınmıştır.

Ottoman war on the Danube : state, subject, and soldier (1853-1856)
(2013) Köremezli, İbrahim
This study analyzes the Danubian front of the Crimean War, which includes the military activities in the Ottoman Bulgaria, Dobruja and the Principalities. A comparison between Russian and Ottoman military activities in the Balkan theater helps to explain the “Ottoman and Russian War of 1853-1856” separate from the existing Eurocentric literature. This study not only explains the war as a product of interstate politics but also concentrates on the individual participants, both combatants and civilians. Logistics, intelligence activities, and prisoners of war will be focused on in addition to the battles to discuss the Danubian front from a broader perspective. There are three main chapters discussing the Danubian front of the Crimean War: “before the front”, “at the front” and “behind the front”. However, before explaining the battles in particular and the Danubian front in general, the legacy of the Crimean War historiography is reviewed and pre-war diplomacy is re-examined.
