Abstract
Up until 1910 year, Ottoman Empıre resorted to borrowing as a method of balancingher revenues and expenses. As a matter of fact, the attempt, which was initiated in May 1910,was only one of them. What distinguishes it from other borrowing attempts is that France, thebiggest creditor ally of the Empire, stipulated political conditions beyond financial ones, withthe concern that Turkey could become closer with the Triple Allicance and the presumptionthat Ottoman empire had no other source of borrowing other than France, which broughtthe process to a stalemate. Whereupon, the scene was set for the new British-origined actorof Ottoman financial life, Turkish National Bank. Upon the negative reaction from BritishalliedFrance towards the British Bank’s intervention, it is seen that British Governmentstopped supporting the bank and that the bank even started mediation attempts with Frenchgovernment. As a result of this, Ottoman Empire took the way of borrowing from Germangroup of banks. It is seen that the whole process was treated in detail by the presses of relatedcountries and that the process constituted the subject matter of many discussions.
