Özet

© 2016 Taylor & Francis.Between 1830 and 1913, the Ottoman Empire was involved in destructive wars with its trading partners. Boycotts were organized against Bulgaria and Austria-Hungary. The effects of wars and boycotts are a topic of debate among historians. This article examines whether wars and boycotts were associated with how the Ottoman Empire traded with its trading partners from 1830 to 1913. The findings indicate a decrease in trade with its adversaries during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78, the Crimean War, and the Balkan Wars. In addition, there was a statistically significant reduction in trade with Austria-Hungary due to the boycott.
