Abstract

Before the First World War, there was a serious competition among the industrialized countries in the territory of the Ottoman Empire in terms of railway construction and lending. In the pre-war, Britain lost its power to build railways on Ottoman territories, while competition between Germany and France increased. However, France has not lost its leadership in investments. Likewise, the country that the Ottoman Empire borrowed the most from was France. In this study, the role of France in terms of railway concessions, investments and foreign debts in the Ottoman territories was examined by using the archive documents of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance.
