Özet:

The Crimean War of 1853 is a turning point in Ottoman history. It was understood that the economic recession that started in the 16th century could no longer be corrected with new taxes, domestic borrowing and adulteration, and for the first time in Ottoman history, foreign borrowing was resorted to. The Ottoman Empire, which fought against Russia with its allies in the Crimean War, was financed by its allies. The foreign borrowing process that started in 1854 resulted in financial bankruptcy after 15 borrowings in 21 years. After the financial bankruptcy, various solutions were sought with the pressure of the creditor states. After the success of the Rusûm-ı Sitte Administration, which was established in 1879 as a result of this search, the Düyun-ı Umumiye Administration was established by signing the Muharrem Decree with the European creditor states in December 1881. After the administration started its activities, the tobacco income under the administration was transferred to the Regie Company, which started its activities in 1884 under the administration. The Regie Company was quickly organized and became the sole arbiter in every field related to tobacco. The type of relationship developed by Regie Company has caused great problems and troubles. One of the provinces where the company is strongly organized is Ma'muratü'l-Aziz Province, and in our article, the activities and results of the company after it was established in the aforementioned province in 1883, the date of its establishment, were tried to be examined.
