Özet:

In the 1877–78 Ottoman-Russian War, which was called "93 Battle" since the formation of the Hicri in 1293, Ottoman State Armies had some successes on the Caucasus front and the Plevne defense of the war failed to success against the Russian and Roman forces resulted in the defeat of the Ottoman State. This situation led to the loss of great land and prestige of the Ottoman State in the Treaties of Ayastefanos and Berlin signed at the end of the war. The decision was made to train the Ottoman Army in the example of Europe to address the failure and lack of the army in the war. While the aid was received from France in the case of military sanctions until the war, the administration of Abdülhamid has now turned to Germany in this matter. Officers were brought from Germany for the intention of military innovations and Ottoman officers were also sent to the European countries that were advanced in military matters, primarily Germany. In this framework, many officers and technicians from Germany came from the 1880s for the healing of the army. For example, Colonel Köhler, Colonel Von der Goltz. The Ottoman State, which has followed its foreign policy closely to Germany since this date, has continued this policy until the end of World War I. One of the important reasons for this was that Germany had a different policy view of the Ottoman State in its sharing policies than the other European powers. The attempts to restore the Ottoman military order have also influenced the foreign policy of Germany and the European Great Powers, and the restraints have become a tool of this policy. This study will analyze why the Ottoman State approached Germany in the after-war military settlements and how a political follow-up closely to Germany influenced the relations of the Empire with the Duvel-i Muazzama.
