Abstract:

and II. After Abdülhamid was dropped from the throne, efforts to recognize Europe and to improve relations have been accelerated. Students have been sent to Europe for many years. New policies have been developed during this period. The number of dispatched students and the increase in the visits of senior managers and officials were some of them to ensure that people from different professions and different sections of society could visit Europe. In 1909 235 people participated in the trip to the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Among them were people from different professions, such as Mebus, Mayor, Doctor, Commercialist, Industrialist, Officer. The trip was encouraged by the Tanin newspaper, which is a nevi broadcasting body of the Alliance and Terakki Society. The newspaper said that every Ottoman citizen should definitely see Europe. Most of these people who came from Thessaloniki visited important cities such as Budapest, Pressburg (Bratislava), Vienna, Prague and Trieste. They were welcomed and welcomed in the places where they went. In the talks, friendship and brotherhood were emphasized. The city’s industrial institutions, schools, military units and historic and tourist sites have been visited. During the tour, we entered various social and cultural environments and gained knowledge and experience on many more fields such as art, entertainment and social structure, urbanism. Commercial relations and friendship were established. The study, first and foremost, was founded on the basis of Alliance and Terakki, Neue Freie Presse, Tanin, New Century, New Gazette, New Tasviriefkâr newspapers and archive sources.
