Storm Warnings In The Straits: Russian-Ottoman Trade Issues, Theophilus C. Prousis Jan 2008

Storm Warnings In The Straits: Russian-Ottoman Trade Issues, Theophilus C. Prousis

History Faculty Research and Scholarship

Russian envoys in the Ottoman capital routinely raised storm warnings over commerce and other contentious points in Russian-Ottoman relations. Trade formed part of the "precarious balance" between conflict and negotiation, as the two adjacent empires competed for lands, peoples and resources along porous frontiers and engaged in risky but profitable commercial exchange. Archival documents from the Russian embassy in Constantinople provide telling detail and firsthand commentary on trade issues, contested borders and related concerns in Russian-Ottoman affairs of the early 19th century. These- sources not only indicate the variety of interests that shaped Russian policy in the eastern Mediterranean but …


God, Gold, Or Glory: Norman Piety And The First Crusade, Samuel Andrew Bartlett Jan 2008

God, Gold, Or Glory: Norman Piety And The First Crusade, Samuel Andrew Bartlett

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Recent trends in crusade historiography depict the Frankish participants of the First Crusade as acting out of piety, while their Norman counterparts remain as impious opportunists.

Eastern Orthodoxy Under Siege In The Ottoman Levant: A View From Constantinople In 1821, Theophilus C. Prousis Jan 2008

Eastern Orthodoxy Under Siege In The Ottoman Levant: A View From Constantinople In 1821, Theophilus C. Prousis

History Faculty Research and Scholarship

Research on Imperial Russia’s contacts and connections with Eastern Orthodox communities in the Levant in the early nineteenth century aroused my interest in how Britain, that other edge of Europe, related to the Ottoman Empire during this tumultuous period. Traders, travelers, envoys, consuls, and others registered their impressions and observations in myriad writings, providing historians with a treasure trove for probing the Eastern Question, the nineteenth-century European dilemma of what to do with the surprisingly resilient Ottoman Empire, still possessing strategic lands and vital waterways in the Near East. Russian and British archival and printed sources widen our perspective on …
