Ottoman Documents About Deportation of Muslims and Non-muslims From Bosnia in the Middle of 19th Century

Abstract

The aim of this presentation is to point out to the occurrence of deportation of Bosnian Muslims to Anatolia, because of their participation in the armed actions against the Ottoman administration in the middle of the 19th century. There are few archival materials about this subject and we have to emphasize that this is only a short overview because of the fact that the most of the Ottoman archive documentations has not been analyzed. We can expect studies on this topic in the future. However, on the basis of the documentation we have, we can see that the Ottoman government very often used the punishment of deportation apart from other punishing measures.
