The effects of the French Revolution reached far beyond the
confines of France itself. The Ottoman Empire, ancient ally and
major trading partner of France, was not immune from the
repercussions of the 'Age of Revolutions', especially since it was
home to permanent French communities with a certain legal autonomy.
French Revolutionaries in the Ottoman Empire examines, for the
first time, the political and cultural impact of the French
Revolution on Franco-Ottoman relations, as well as on the French
communities of the Ottoman Empire. The modern interpretation of
revolutionary ideological expansionism is strongly influenced by
the famous propaganda decree of 19 November 1792 which promised
'fraternity and help to all peoples who wish to recover their
liberty', as well as the well-studied efforts to export the
Revolution into the territories conquered by the revolutionary
armies and to the various Sister Republics. Against all
expectations, however, French revolutionaries in the Ottoman Empire
exhibited neither a 'crusading mentality' nor a heightened
readiness to use force in order to achieve ideological goals.
Instead, as this volume shows, in matters of diplomacy as well as
in the administration of French expatriate communities,
revolutionary policies were applied in an extremely circumspect
fashion. The focus on the effects of the French regime change
outside of France offers valuable new insights into the
revolutionary process itself, which will revise common assumptions
about French revolutionary diplomacy. In addition, Pascal Firges
takes a close look at the establishment of the new political
culture of the French Revolution within the transcultural context
of the French expatriate communities of the Ottoman Empire, which
serves as a thought-provoking point of comparison for the emergence
and development of French revolutionary political culture.
