JERUSALEM in the Early 19th Century

The city of Jerusalem, which is considered sacred by Muslims, Christians and Jews, dates back to BC. It has an ancient history dating back to the 4000s. The dominance of states belonging to these religions in Jerusalem for different periods paved the way for the formation of holy places belonging to three religions in the city.
Various zoning activities carried out by the state in Jerusalem, which came under Ottoman rule in 1517, increased the quality of life of the city. One of the breaking points for Jerusalem in this period of domination that lasted until 1917 was the process that started with the French occupation of Egypt in 1798 and continued until the end of the Kavalalı Mehmed Ali Pasha rebellion in 1841. The emergence of the troubles in different parts of the state, such as the Wahhabi and Greek rebellions, in this time period, caused Jerusalem to be indirectly affected by these events, since it hosted different nations together.
In this study, which deals with the policy of the Ottoman Empire in Jerusalem between 1798-1841, the political events and administrative changes, the prominent activities in the approach of the state to Muslims, the rights granted by the state to non-Muslims and the ways of communication of the people with the state are examined.
