Özet:

Before the World War I, military struggles that were precursors of war took place in various tense regions of the world besides the territories ruled by the Ottoman Empire. In the quarter century before the World War I, the Ottoman Empire engaged in the Turco-Italian War with Italians and in the Balkan Wars with the Balkan countries. The leading actor of the wars taking place in the Far East, on the other hand, was Japan. The Japanese fought a war with the Chinese in 1894-1895 and with Russia in 1904-1905. They won a victory in those wars, contrary to what the Ottoman Empire did. This research aims to reveal the relationships between Japan, which gained momentum in the Far East at the beginning of the 20th century, and the Ottoman Empire, which experienced problems in the Middle East and Balkans in the same period, and the outlook of the Ottoman Government on the Sino-Japanese War, which took place very far away from its territories, based on archive documents
