Özet

GeçmiĢi kadim devirlere kadar uzanan ve Hz. Ömer zamanında as kerî amaçlıbir garnizon olarak kurulan Basra, her dönemde jeostratejik ve jeopolitik kon u- mundan kaynaklanan bir öneme sahip olmuĢtur.islam tarihinde merkezî otoriteye karĢı baĢlatılan ilk isyanda taraf olma, so n- rasında ise dinî ve siyasî içerikli pek ço k isyanda merkez olma özelliği ile ön pl a- na çıkan Basra, Osmanlı tarihinde de isyanlar Ģehri olarak anılmıĢtır. Basra dameydana gelen bu isyan ve istila hareketlerinden biri de 1691 yılında patlak v e- ren ve ancak on yıl sonra düzenlenen Basra Seferi ile ba stırılan Urbân i syanıdır.Yüz elli bin kiĢilik bir ordu ile gerçekleĢtirilen bu seferde herhangi bir çatıĢma y a- ĢanmamıĢ, Osmanlı ordusu sırf yürüyüĢle bölgenin yeniden itaatini sa ğ lamıĢtır.
