Abstract:

In the period of national struggle, the Bozkır rebellions, which developed against the Kuva-i Millions movement and were an example of other rebellions, appeared as the organization of Damat Ferit Pasha and his supporters, who were troubled in the face of Kuva-i Millions' rapid bush in Anadolu. Damat Ferit Pasha has sent delegations to Anadolu to investigate the ways to destroy Kuva-i Milly. From these delegations, Suleyman Shephek Pasha, the chairman of the delegation to Konya and Bozkira, after his investigations, clearly stated that "distribution of Kuva-i Millliye is very easy, but for this he must be the Harbiye Nazri." Shortly after he returned to Istanbul, he was given the duty of the Harbiye Nazareti, which he requested. After this appointment, the rebellion against Kuva-i Millions came out in Bozkır connected to Konya, which is the place of mission. The first Bozkır rebellion arose between the organization of Governor Cemal Mr. from Damat Ferit Pasha's greatest bases in Anatolia and the dates from September 26 to October 4, 1919. The newly established Ali Rıza Pasha government wanted to close the incident without bloodshed but failed to succeed. The Assyrians took action for the second time between 22 October and 4 November 1919, with the demands of general forgiveness and the quotation of Kova-i Milly from the region. This second rebellion could only be suppressed by the sending of the Kuwa-i Millions troops to Bozkır. In this study, we tried to examine the activities of various power centers to trigger rebellion in Bozkır with the aim of destroying the national movement in Anatolia, especially with the help of the Prime Minister's Ottoman Archives and the President's General Army's Military History Archives documents.
