Sudan Topraklarının Mısır Hidivliğine Bağlanması

Abstract

Located in the center of the African continent, Sudan has a special place with its geographical location, ethnic structure, history and culture. It has a dynamic and strong structure on the Nile basin with its ancient historical texture. The geography known as Sudanese resorts Bilād al-Sūdān, extending from the Red Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, covers a wide area in the center of Africa. With the conquest of Egypt, during the reign of Yavuz Sultan Selim, the Ottomans descended to the south of Egypt and expanded their lands and continued their conquest movements. They build military, commercial, scientific and social contacts in the region within the sphere of influence of the Beylerbeyligi (State) of Egypt and the State of Abyssinia. The appointment of Kavalalı Mehmed ‘Alī Pasha as the governor of Egypt increased the influence ot the Ottoman Empire further in the territory of Sudan and the administration of the country between 1821-1895 was named as Ahd al-Turkey. Under the administration of the Ottoman-Egyptian powers, the region was developed and civilized, until its colonization by British Empire. The absence of a comprehensive study about the Ottoman period in the region and its political and cultural contributions to the region motivated this study. In the study it is tegreted to outline and analyse the effect of Ottoman culture and civilization on the region by interpreting previous studies about the history of Ottoman-Sudan relations and annexation of Sudanese territories in the literature.
