Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin Kuzey Afrika’yla İlk Teması ve Trablusgarp-Amerika İlişkileri

Year 2017, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 93 - 116, 15.01.2019

Abstract

Yeni bir devlet olarak uluslararası siyaset sahnesine çıkan Amerika Birleşik

Devletleri’nin (ABD) Osmanlı Devletiyle ilk karşılaşması, devletin Kuzey Afrika’daki

topraklarında gerçekleşmiştir. Burada yapılan antlaşmalar ve savaşlar, ABD’nin

dış politikasını şekillendiren âmillerin başında gelmektedir. Yaşanan süreç yapılan

pazarlıklar açısından ABD’nin uzlaşma ve savaş diplomasinin iki yönünü de açık

bir şekilde göstermektedir. Güçlü ülkelerle uzlaşma, zayıf görülenle savaş politikası

büyük ölçüde bu dönemde şekillenmiştir. Amerikalılar açısından Garp Ocakları

arasında Trablusgarp’ın (Libya) ise hususi bir yeri vardır. Zira yaptıkları antlaşmanın

bozulmasının ardından ABD, Trablusgarp’ta abluka, bombardıman ve kara harekâtı

gibi ilk yurtdışı operasyon tecrübelerini yaşamış; Trablusgarp Savaşı’nı (1801-1805)

yeni bir ulusun –Amerikan ulusunun- doğuşunu müjdeleyen “büyük zafer” olarak

sunmuştur. Ülkemizde bu konu üzerine hem çok az çalışma bulunmakta; hem de bu

çalışmalarda önemli eksiklikler göze çarpmaktadır. Kullanılan kaynaklar dolayısıyla

meselenin tek tarafl ı değerlendirilmesi bunların başında gelmektedir. Binaenaleyh

çalışmada, özellikle konu üzerine yayınlanmış olan farklı çalışmalar da dikkate

alınarak Trablusgarp-ABD ilişkileri iki taraf açısından da değerlendirilmeye ve tarihî

süreçteki eksik ve hatalı bilgiler tashih edilmeye çalışılmıştır.

United State of America (USA) First Contact with North Africa and Tripolitania (Libya)-American Relations

Year 2017, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 93 - 116, 15.01.2019

Abstract

The first encounter of the United States (US) with the Ottoman Empire, which was

the international political scene as a new state, took place in the state of North Africa.

The treaties and wars made here are the leading factors shaping US foreign policy.

The living process clearly shows both sides of the US agreement and war diplomas

in terms of bargaining. The agreement with the strong countries, the war policy with

weakness, has been shaped in this period to a great extent. For Americans, there is

a special place in Trablusgarp (Libya) between Western Odjacks (Ottoman North

African Provinces). Because, after the disruption of the treaty they have done, the

United States experienced their first overseas operations in Tripoli, such as blockade,

bombardment and ground operations. He presented the Battle of Tripoli (1801-

1805) as a “great victory” that heralded the birth of a new nation - the American

nation. There are very few studies on this subject in our country, and important

shortcomings are striking in these studies. One-sided evaluation of the problems

caused by the resources used is one of these deficiencies. Taking into consideration

the different studies published on the subject, the Tripoli-US relations were tried

to be evaluated both in terms of both sides and to correct missing and erroneous

information in the historical process.
