[Levantine Heritage Foundation] Levantine-Polish Contacts in Late Ottoman Istanbul – Paulina Dominik
February 17, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm GMT
Throughout the nineteenth century the Ottoman Empire was one of the chief destinations for the Polish political émigrés who following the final partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795 fled to Istanbul in the hope of securing Ottoman support in their efforts to regain national independence. For four decades between the 1840s and the 1870s, the Ottoman capital became a key centre of their activities against Tsarist Russia. The
Polish presence in the Ottoman Empire, however, was not limited to activities aimed at the restoration of an independent Poland. Rather, Polish émigrés were also involved in various enterprises connected to the nineteenth reforms of the Ottoman state and chief political figures of the Tanzimat Era welcomed their services.
