DESCRIPTION:The Ottoman-Egyptian War of 1831-33: An Assessment\n	\n	Dr. Veyse
 l Şimşek\n	Institute of Islamic Studies\n	\n	This talk will examine the first
  armed conflict between central Ottoman forces and armies of Mehmed Ali Pa
 sha\, the ambitious and skillful governor of Egypt. After establishing his
  unchallenged authority in the province\, Mehmed Ali Pasha (d. 1848) gradu
 ally expanded his military and fiscal power in the early 19th century. His
  relations with Ottoman sultan Mahmud II (r. 1808-1839)\, whose concurrent
  European-inspired administrative-military reforms had been underway since
  1826\, deteriorated after the conclusion of the Greek Revolution. Subsequ
 ently\, Ottoman central authority and Mehmed Ali Pasha fought two successi
 ve wars in 1831-33 and 1839-41. Both conflicts were rapidly “international
 ized” by the Great Powers’ direct and indirect involvement\, and they deci
 sively re-shaped the Middle East for the next century and beyond.\n	The dip
 lomatic aspects of “First Ottoman-Egyptian War” and Great Powers’ involvem
 ent have arguably been better studied by the historians of the “Eastern Qu
 estion”. By using multi-lingual and multi-archival sources\, this paper\, 
 however\, will attempt to provide a detailed political and military accoun
 t for the conflict. It will also offer a closer examination on the pivotal
  battles of Homs\, Beylan\, and Konya that ended disastrously for the Otto
 mans by studying indigenous historical material as well as the physical ge
 ography of the conflict zones.\n
