The Russian Revolution, Effects on the Establishment of the Turkey Republic

Abstract

The issue that we will deal with as a subject will be dealt with mainly with two empire-owned nations. Turks and Russians are two nations that have fought against each other throughout history. The main reason for this was that Tsarist Russia was a land state which was not connected with the seas in the first periods. The most important way for Russia to reach the warm seas was through the territory of the Ottomans. Naturally, these maneuvers of the Russians led to the beginning of the competition process between the two states. For this reason, the geopolitical positions of the Ottoman Empire and Russia caused the relations between the two nations to deteriorate and to constantly fight each other also it caused their influence each other. The goal of the Russians, especially starting from the Great Tsar Petro, to have the Straits of Istanbul has become a purpose for the Russian state until the First World War. At the beginning of the 20th century, although both the Ottoman Empire and Russia had many common points, their relations could not improve positively. In the century in question, as it is today, it is making efforts to integrate with this world gradually against the European world, but could not be integrated with Europe in any way, but also did not trust Europe and There were two Eurasian empires that were not adopted by Europeans either in practically. By the time of the First World War, these two underdeveloped empires were on the opposite fronts, one of the most important factors was that the Ottomans kept alongside the Germans to protect the Straits. Likewise, the Russians relied on the support of the British to get a share in the control of the Straits. As we will discuss in our study, things did not go well for Russia in the Canakkale wars and the process leading to the Revolution was accelerated. The first major impact of the revolution was manifested in the Brest Litovsk treaty, and Results of the events that Ottomans contributed to their acceleration by the victory of Canakkale, that would be returned to Turks as a counter effect
