Trouble in Thrace was that it was thought that it was aimed to create an ostensible independent government and make a colony, aiming to remove the east of Thrace to Midye- Enes line from us. But, it was thought suitable not to quit Edirne also Meriç border in any circumstances even if it would be thought to give them to an Islamic Government.

Ottoman Empire Period

Posted under History by admin on Saturday 27 December 2008 at 11:13 am

Ottoman Period :


Throughout the process when Timur occupied Anatolia at the beginning of the 15th century and started to destroy it to a great extent, Amasya was surrounded for about seven months by Timur’s soldiers.
After Yıldırım Beyazid possessed been defeated in the Ankara Battle, he was taken a prisoner of war. Then the fights over the Crown came about among the shahzadahs. Çelebi Sultan Mehmet, who tried to continue the Ottoman unity during the collapse known as The Fetret Era and succeeded in doing this, created Amasya his military bottom in the years of struggle.
In the term when Yakut Pasha was the Emir of Amasya in 1402, Kara Devletshah was appointed the Emir of Amasya by Timur, although Devletshah was so notorious for his being cruel among the lower also upper classes of Amasya that his becoming an Emir was not recognized by them and his entering the city was not permitted. Therefore, Kara Devletshah settled in Kağala/Hakala Village also dominated the rest of the city from now.
Amasya in the Ottoman era was a sanjak where Shahzadahs carried elsewhere their duties from the first half of the 15th century and it was the centre of Eyalet-i Rum as well.
It is identified that a Turkmen society known as Kızıl Koca Ogulları, lacking getting under any disciplines of the present structure of that time forced the people living into the area to offer them all their possessions and Yörgüç Pasha put this group also their leader to the sword with some tricks.
In the Ottoman term, one of the crucial events in Amasya was the social incidents identified as Celali Rebellions. throughout these incidents taking location especially in the 16th century, Celalî groups moved mostly within the Yeşilırmak valley into which Amasya was located. In this period, immense disorders were experienced.
The most important disorder was the one caused via Urfalı Yazici Abdulhalim who was the Sanjak Bey in Amasya at single time. As a effect of the events of the year 1603, the supporters of Kara Yazıcı Abdulhalim burnt Amasya. This confusion was so serious that the people of Amasya had to shelter inside the King sway Tombs with all their possessions.
Amasya was the historic place of an important treaty in the history of the Ottoman Empire. This treaty, signed in the late April 1555 and known as Amasya Treaty in our memoir, was one of the first and foremost treaties signed with Persia-Safevi Dynasty. In the while, Kanuni Sultan Süleyman was living in Amasya.
That Amasya was named “Shahzadahs’ City” in the Ottoman history was unpaid to the fact that many shahzadahs were transported up here. Among these shahzadahs were the ones who later succeeded to the throne such as Çelebi Sultan Mehmet, II.Murat, Fatih Sultan Mehmet also II. Beyazid. In addition, it is known that thither were shahzadahs who carried out their duties also then died in Amasya.
The crown place of shahzadahs from the date when it was conquered by the Ottomans onwards, Amasya was excluded since being a shahzadah sanjak after Shahzadah Beyazid fled to Persia in 1559 . head from that year, not one of the shahzadahs was previously on duty in Amasya any longer.


Danishmend and Seljuk Period

Posted under History by admin on Saturday 27 December 2008 at 11:05 am

While the Great Seljuk army won the Malazgirt war in 1071, Sultan Alparslan’s high-rank commanders started the attacks against the Middle Anatolia. As a result of these attacks, Bizantyne sovereignity over Anatolia ended and, the commanders who did these conquests founded principalities (beylikler) independent in their internal affairs, after they had recieved the consent of the Seljuk State.
During this process, Amasya and its surrounding were conquered via Danishmend Ahmet Gazi also Turkish sovereignity started into the region. The battle which was held active 5th August 1101 between Amasya and Merzifon by the troops under the order of Seljuk Sultan Kılıç Arslan and Danishmend Gazi dispersed the Crusaders.
Danishmends’ sovereignity lasting intended about a century finished with the conquest of Amasya in 1175 by Seljuk Sultan II. Kılıç Arslan. As a result, the city of Amasya also its surrounding came beneath the Seljukian sovereignity.
throughout his long-lasting reign, II. Kılıç Arslan alloted the Seljuk State to his eleven sons also as a result of this allotement, Nizameddin Argunshah owned Amasya. Upon Nizameddin Argunshah’s brother, II. Rükneddin Süleyman shah’s getting hold of the Seljukian sovereignity, Amasya as many other places transformed into a province dependent active this sovereignity.
When the Mongolians became a threat, the Anatolian Seljuk king Alaeddin Keykubad gave various provinces to Harezm Beys as a fief (dirlik), so that he perhaps benefit from their experiences. Similarly, Amasya was imparted to Bereket Han as a fief in this period (1231).
After the reign of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad (1220-1237), the ill-management of the country caused various social disorders in the Seljuk State. Amasya-centred, Babailer Rebellion which occured in 637H/1239M was the first also foremost of all the social activities in this period.
At this rebellion beginning under the leadership of Baba İlyas Horasani, Baba Ishak Kefersudi launched the practical process of the activity in the village of Kefersud, also during these happenings relating to the rebellion, Amasya witnessed them as an important historic location.
As a result of the spread of the increasing rebellion, Sultan II. Gıyaseddin Keyhusrev withdrew to the Kubadabad Castle as a precaution and meanwhile Hadji Armaganshah who was appointed as Amasya Subaşı was ordered to suppress the Hadji Armaganshah movement.
In the end, Baba İlyas, who was the chief of the Babaîler Rebellion and was suppressed in a bloody method, and hanged in the ramparts of the Amasya Castle after being captured in his tekke via Hadji Armaganshah. When the Seljuk State was defeated by the Mongols into the Kösedağ Battle in 1243, the Mongols started to plunder almost each part of of Anatolia, which took more than a century and Amasya was one of the places to be affected.
The Mongols who invaded Anatolia settled in the Middle Anatolia Region where Amasya was also situated. These settlers were named ‘Tatar’ in general. In this period, those who settled in Amasya was previously Ca’unğar tribes, also known as gone-hand clans.
After the İlhanlı ruler Ebu alleged Bahadır Han died in 1335, Sultan Alaeddin Eratna founded the State of Eratna by declaring their independence by the assist of Sultan Alaeddin who was the general governer of Anatolia in İlhanlı period and Amasya came under the rule of the State of Eratna in 1341.
In the equal year, Amasya was captured by Taceddinoğlu Principality(beylik) whose centre was Niksar. Sultan Eratna reserved his silence for a while, but when he got the protection also the support of Eygpt-Memluk Sultan Melih Nasır, he sent Tüli Bey (one of his emirs) towards the invaders. As a effect, Tüli Bey recieved Amasya and its around back from Taceddin Doganshah by the help of the local people into Amasya, thereby ending this invasion.
In this term, Zeyneddin Tüli Bey was the Emir of Amasya, but following his death Hadji Kutlushah was appointed as the Emir in 1347. Then, Şahabeddin Ahmet Shah ,the eldest son of Hadji Kutlushah transformed into the Emir of Amasya in the middle of 1352.
By the year 1356, Kebir Sücaaddin Bey transformed into the Emir ,using his power. However, Şahabeddin Ahmet Shah got this mission back from him recurrently in 1358.
Şadgeldi Pasha, the other son of Hadji Kutlushah was appointed the Emir of Amasya into 1359; later in 1361 Alaaddin Ali Bey , the son of Sücaaddin Süleyman Bey became the Emir. However, in the wake of Kaynar incident, Hadji Şadgeldi Pasha was created himself the Emir of Amasya for the subsequent time.
As the sultans ruling the Province following Sultan Eratna were frail and indulged in pleasure and joy of existence, they caused their condition authority to lose influence and the administrators into charge to get the idea to gain their independence. During these years, the Emir of Amasya, Hadji Şadgeldi Pasha started to act on his own and later declared his own principality.
Durign the reign of Şadgeldi Pasha, considerable construction activities were carried out. Amasya Castle was restored into 1363 and the old minting factory was rebuilt; also then a paper factory was built. It is also known that various construction units such as mosque, medrese and imaret were built in this period.
Fahreddin Ahmet Bey was the son of Hadji Şadgeldi Pasha who died in the battle with Kadı Burhaneddin, the judge (kadı) of the State of Eratna into 1381. He became the Emir of Amasya. Like his father, Fahreddin Ahmet Bey was in a continuous struggle with Kadı Burhaneddin; however, because he perhaps not get anything since that struggle, he offered to give Amasya to the Ottomans in revert for another sanjak. after this exchange, the metropolis entered the Ottoman government in 1393.
