İspanya Veraset Savaşları Döneminde Felemenk Diplomasisi ve Osmanlılar

Ispanya Veraset Savaslari Yenicag Avrupa Tarihi’nin en onemli donum noktalarindan biridir. Fransa donemin en ihtisamli ve guclu devleti konumdaydi. Fransiz krali XIV. Louis, kendi hâkimiyet sahasini Iber Yarimadasinda, Ren Bolgesinde ve Beneluks topraklarinda genisletmek istemekteydi. Verimli ancak cok dar bir cografyada yer alan kurulu olan yedi birlesik devletcikten olusan Hollanda Cumhuriyeti’nin herhangi bir ittifaka girmeksizin kendisini savunmasi zordu. Ayrica temelde denizci bir devlet olan Hollanda, kara ordularinin gucu sinirliydi. Bu baglamda Fransa tarafindan tehdit edilmekte olan Hollanda Cumhuriyeti, bircok devletten destek girisiminde bulunmaktaydi. 1683’teki II. Viyana Kusatmasi ve sonrasinda ugranilan maglubiyetlerle, Osmanlilar bir miktar guc ve prestij kaybetseler bile, bu donemde Osmanli Imparatorlugu, Avrupa’nin hâlâ en guclu devletlerinden biri konumundaydi. 14. Louis’in agresif dis politikasindan endise eden Hollandalilar, Fransa karsiti koalisyonun mumkun olan en genis tabanda gerceklesmesini istemekteydiler. Yayimlanan bu belge, Hollandalilarin Osmanli hukumdari II. Mustafa nezdindeki diplomatik inisiyatifi ile alakalidir. Osmanlilar ise, Hollanda’nin yardim talebinin geldigi bu donemde, 16 yillik uzun ve yipratici savasin yaralarini sarmakta mesgulduler. Imparatorluk diplomasisi temel hedef olarak Karlofca’daki kayiplarin telafisine yonelmisti. Bâb-i Âli icin, Fransa’nin yukselisi gerek cografi uzaklik gerekse de imparatorlugun politik hedefleri nedeniyle, ikinci derecede oneme sahip bir riskti. Bu baglamda, Osmanli Imparatorlugu, Hollandalilara yardim etmeyi veya Fransa karsiti ittifaka dâhil olmayi, kendisinin asil rakibi olan Avusturya’ya karsi negatif bakisi nedeniyle reddetmistir.

Abstract: War of the Spanish Succesion is one ofthe most important milestone for the Early Modern Age European History. France was the most flourishing and puissant state that era. French monarch XIV. Louis, wanted to expanse his hegemony over Iberian Peninsula, Rhineland and Low Countries. It was difficult for the Dutch Republic which composed of seven united states and established in a productive but very narrow geography, to defend itself without any alliance. In addition, the Netherlands, which was basically a maritime state, was limited in the power of land armies.With in this context Dutch Republic which was threatened by France, and it had started to seek diplomatic help for several countries. In this era Ottoman Empire was still one of the most powerful countries in Europe. The Dutch who concerned about 14, Luois’s aggressive foreign policy, wanted the anti-France coalition to take place as broadly as possible. This scrutinized document is related with, Dutch diplomatic initiative in the presence of Ottoman sultan II. Mustafa. The Ottomans, on the other hand, were busy with the 16-year long and weary war wounds in this period when the Netherlands had applied for aid. The empire’s diplomacy was directed at the compensation of the losses in Karlowitz Treaty as the main objective. For Bâb-i Âli, the rise of France was a second-order therat for its geographical distance, but also because of its political objectives. In this regard, the Ottoman Empire refused to help the Dutch or join the anti-France alliance because of its negative view of Austria as its main rival.
