The Birth of the Jerusalem Sanjak 1864-1914: Administrative and Social Impacts‏

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Since the 1830s, Palestine has been under great pressure from European
countries to achieve their religious, political and economic interests. In view of the dangers that might result from this, the Ottoman Empire did not stand idle. The Ottoman Empire tried to counter this threat by taking administrative measures to prevent them from achieving their ambitions. The most important of these measures was when the Ottoman Empire established the independent sanjak Jerusalem and connected it directly with Istanbul. The
Palestinian society was affected through the administrative procedures and the many reforms in this period. The fact that Jerusalem became a political and administrative city with religious significance necessitated the state to take these measures.
