Колебања у односима Порте и Европе од „Једренског догађаја“ (1703) до успоставе стабилне владавине Ахмеда III (1706)
Wavering in Relations between Port and Europe since Edirne event (1703) until the Establishment of stable Rule of Ahmed III (1706)

Summary/Abstract: In the period between 1703 and 1706, the Port was faced with resolutions of series of questions, most of which were the legacy of The Great War. Its power to act was limited by bad finances that were recovering gradually, but insufficiently. However, the question of Spanish legacy launched Europe into a new conflict. Rebellion in Hungary was its immediate consequence. This led French diplomacy to become involved in engaging the Port in a new war against the Habsburgs. According to methodology and practical means, there was almost no difference between Chateauneuf and Ferriol. Their actions represented traditional politics of Versailles towards the Port, which underlined pragmatism as the main course of action. Other diplomats could not represent serious competition in this field. The fact that, during the period analyzed here, the Port did not dare to openly lend a hand to rebels in Hungary, is justified by unresolved issues with Russia, as well as with a new upheaval in Arabia.
