Özet:

In 1430 Selanik got under The Ottoman Empire’s domination which lasted until the year 1912, approximately 482 years. Being the midpoint of Asia and Europe, the city was the most important seaport of The Ottomans in the Balkans. Selanik Seaport was facing to the Aegean Sea so it was on the route of international trade ships on their way to Blacksea and they never passed without stopping at Selanik seaport. With the openning of Suez Channal the city Selanik became the shortest way for British supplies. With the Industrial Revolution, the use of steam-powered ships, and the Treaty of Balta Harbour, Selanik’s place in international trade became more considerable. By the construction of railroads between the Selanik harbour and its hinterland, it was attempted to better the connection between the two. With the construction of the previously mentioned harbour, Selanik had earned the importance it deserved.With this demonstration, we tried to show Selanik’s trade in 20th century as sorted by countries and goods, and also tried to show the Selanik Harbour’s place among five big harbours of the Ottoman Empire
