Abstract:

In the 12th century, the name was only a border town and completed the formation of Russia, which was born from the little Moscow princess in the 14th and 16th centuries.  In the middle of the 16th century, Kazan, which was located in the Volga region during the Horrible Ivan period and a Muslim dynasty, was captured by the Russians in 1552. In 1556 the Russians captured Astrahan and achieved a great success in achieving their goals in the region. Since that date, Russia has continued to follow a spread policy in the east-west direction.  In particular, in the period of Petro I, Russia has seen achieving hot seas by setting its strategic targets as a certain main policy.  Furthermore, the Caucasus and Central Asia are also identified as certain main places for Russia to maintain its own existence. 17 . In the middle of the century, Russia managed to cross the Asian continent in the east direction and reached the Pacific Ocean. In the 18th century, when the wars between Russia and the Ottoman State ended against the Ottoman State, the Russians also managed to settle in the Black Sea. Thus, Russia became a great power and threat to the Ottoman State in the north. Following these developments, Russia began to pose a threat not only to the Ottoman State but also to Britain, which sees the way of India as very important for its political and economic interests. In this context, the study is based on the three works of the British traveler Edmund Spencer and some of his observations. In order to better understand the political relations in the region and the political atmosphere in the century, it aims to track and analyze the policy that Britain has followed in the region and thus contribute some to the field literature.
