1812 BUCAREST TREATY IS A TURNING POINT FOR THE Ottoman dynasty. This treaty is an important step in Ottomans withdrawal from Balkans. At the start of the Turco-Russian wars, which ended with the Treaty of Bucharest, the Ottoman Sultan was Selim III. There were three different sultans reigning during 1806-12 Ottoman-Russian War. The wars started during the reign of Selim III, continued into Mustafa IV’s and ended while Mahmud II was on the throne. At this time there was intense civil unrest in the Ottoman lands. Just as the civil unrest affected the war, the war also exasperated the civil unrest. The rule of Selim III, which ended with Kabakci Mustafa Revolt, had direct relation with the Ottoman Russian wars. The defeat of the Nizam-i cedid army, which was assembled as an alternative to the janissaries, in the 1806-12 wars led the sultan’s death. The dethronement of Selim III caused the dispersion of the Nizam-I Cedid army. The one -year rule of the new sultan, Mustafa IV, was over in 1808 and, when Mahmut II came to the throne, the war was still going on. The defeats of the Ottomans along with the continual civil unrest necessitated the signing of the treaty. As a result of the treaty, Bassarabia was given to the Russians which led to the independence of Serbia. In this essay, the conditions leading up to, and after effects of the 1812-16 war from the perspective of the Ottoman state, will be articulated. In this study, the condition of the Ottoman State, the start of the war, the Kabakci Mustafa revolt, the dethronements of Selim III and Mustafa IV, and Mahmut II’s accession to the throne with the support of Alemdar Mustafa Pasa, the treaty of Bucharest will be expounded upon.
