Abstract

Granice Osmanskog Carstva iz 16. i 17. stoljeća, jedne od najsnažnijih svjetskih sila tog vremena, služe kao dokaz uspješnih vojnih pohoda i osmanskog umijeća ratovanja. Pored dobro osmišljene vojne strategije i taktike, ključnu ulogu u održavanju uspostavljenog mira i izbjegavanju novih ratnih sukoba imala je diplomacija. Uspostava prijateljskih odnosa s europskim zemljama, poput Mletačke Republike, Francuske, Engleske i Nizozemske, te potpisivanje povelja, adhnama, osigurali su obostranu trgovačku i političku korist. Naizgled kulturološki i religijski poprilično različite i zemljopisno udaljene, ove europske zemlje bile su iznimno važne diplomatske saveznice Carstva u ostvarivanju političkih i ekonomskih interesa. Ekonomske težnje i ambicije europskih zemalja u potrazi za povoljnim trgovačkim uvjetima, zajedno sa spretnim manevriranjem njihovih veleposlanika koji pod nepovoljnim uvjetima služe u srcu Osmanskog Carstva, glavne su karakteristike diplomatskih odnosa između Osmanlija i Mlečana, Francuza, Engleza i Nizozemaca.

Abstract (english)

The borders of the Ottoman Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries, one of the most powerful states in the world at the time, serve as a testament to successful military campaigns and the Ottoman art of war. Besides well-thought-out strategy and military tactics, diplomacy played a key role in maintaining already arranged peace treaties and avoiding new potential conflicts. The establishment of friendly relations with European countries such as the Republic of Venice, France, England and the Netherlands as well as the signing of commercial charters, adhname, ensured mutual commercial and political benefit. These European countries, seemingly distant in religious, cultural, and geographical senses, proved to be valuable diplomatic allies of the Ottoman Empire in the pursuit of political and economic interests. Economic aspirations and ambitions of European countries seeking favorable trade conditions, combined with nimble maneuvering of their ambassadors serving under unfavorable conditions in the heart of the Ottoman Empire, constitute the main characteristics of diplomatic relations between the Ottomans and the Venetians, the French, the British and the Dutch.
