Abstract

After Italy attained a national state structure in the second half of the 19th century, it embarked on some imperialist/irredentist activities. It especially targeted the western coasts of Dalmatia, the Balkans, the places in the Mediterranean and in Africa that were not yet dominated by other Great Powers. In the mentioned century, the Ottoman Empire was in various political, economic and social turmoil. Therefore, Italy saw this situation as an opportunity and developed policies to achieve these goals. In this study, based on the materials of The Republic of Turkey, Directorate of State Archives, Ottoman Archive (BOA henceforth), it has been researched how effect on the Ottoman Empire what was done between 1911 and 1912 in order to occupy or at least take control of Albania, which was the key to Italy’s exit to the Balkans. On the other hand, it was tried to determine which initiatives the Ottomans followed closely. In addition, it has been examined how the administrative authorities interpret the developments in Italy and the aims of Italy, and what measures they strive to take.
