AN ANALYSIS OF THE BRITISH INVASION OF EGYPT (1882) THROUGH THE LENS OF VICTORIAN PARTY POLITICS

Begüm Yıldızeli

The British occupation of Egypt in 1882 meant a breakaway from the Anglo-French entente’s control over Ottoman financial system and the end of the Liberal Government’s ‘reluctant’ imperialism. When the Liberal ministry began in 1880, the cabinet immediately focused on foreign policies towards the Ottoman Empire subsequent to Gladstone’s campaign during the Bulgarian Agitation which had already turned out to be a party question. The protection of the Suez Canal as well as the interests of the British bondholders and the prestige of the British Empire was vital, which united the Liberal ministry and the Conservatives under the same purpose. Despite late Ottoman approval, the occupation signified the edge of Anglo-Ottoman alliance during the nineteenth century. This study will analyse why the Egyptian question is important for British party politics and to what extend the Anglo-Ottoman relations was affected with these circumstances.

VİKTORYA DÖNEMİ PARTİ SIYASETİ PERSPEKTİFİNDEN İNGİLiZLER’iN MISIR’I İŞGALİ (1882) ÜZERİNE BIR ANALİZ

Begüm Yıldızeli

1882 yılında İngilizler ’in Mısır’ı işgali gerek İngiliz Hükümeti’nin ‘gönülsüz’ emperyalizminin gerekse de Osmanlı ekonomisindeki İngiliz -Fransız kontrolünün sonu anlamına gelmekteydi. 1880 yılında Liberal parti göreve baslar başlamaz, William E. Gladstone’un 1876 yılında gerçekleştirdiği Bulgar Ajitasyonu kampanyasının bir devamı olan ve parti siyasetinde ana gündem maddesini oluşturmuş Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na yönelik dış politikaya ağırlık vermişlerdi. Süveyş Kanalı’nın korunması, İngiliz tahvil sahiplerinin çıkarları ve İngiliz İmparatorluğu’nun prestiji bu açıdan Liberal ve Muhafazakârları ayni amaçta birleştirmişti. Osmanlı’nın geç onayıyla, 19. yüzyıl boyunca suren Osmanlı-İngiliz İşbirliği’nde işgal köşe taşlarından biri olmuştur. Bu çalışma, Mısır Sorunu’nun İngiliz parti politikasında önemi ve Osmanlı-İngiliz ilişkilerini bu şartlar altında ne derecede etkilediğini analiz edecektir.
