On Socio-Political Circumstances in Smederevo Sanjak and Bosnian Eyalet at the End of the 18th and the First Decades of the 19th Century

Summary/Abstract: This work presents the most important socio-political events in the Smederevo Sanjak and the Bosnian Eyalet at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Chronologically following events in the mentioned areas, it is possible to see the separate socio-political movements of both administrative units, but also the period of contact points on that historical path and the consequences that would follow. Based on published and unpublished archival material, available documents and literature, in addition to the main factors that marked the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the work also touches on the everyday life of an ordinary person in the Bosnian Eyalet in the context of wider socio-political processes. The paper points to the position of the Ottoman state at that time, its military and socio-economic circumstances, and the influence of international powers and their relations. Therefore, every reflection and refraction in various aspects on the Bosnian Eyalet must be viewed in a broader framework, taking into account the policy and strategy of the center in relation to the events on the frontiers which become the subject of interest at the international level, and which are reflected in the area of the Smederevo Sanjak and the Bosnian Eyalet. Seen from a broader framework, while taking into account the policy and strategy of the center, the events that become an issue at the international level are exposed, solely because of the different plans and interests of each of them. In addition, the paper emphasises some of the most important consequences of the events in the Smederevo Sanjak, especially the long-term outcomes of the Serbian uprisings and the issues related to its demarcation with the Bosnian Eyalet as well as the forced emigration of the Muslim population.
