Özet
The declaration of the Constitutional Monarchy was followed with great interest by Western public opinion. Both Western statesmen and the press dwelt on this event seriously. Although statesmen congratulated the Ottoman authorities on the proclamation of the Constitutional Monarchy as a matter of political courtesy, they did not refrain from analyzing at length what this development meant for their own countries. For countries like Britain and France, the proclamation of the Constitutional Monarchy was a positive development, while Russia and Germany openly expressed their concerns. Small Balkan countries such as Greece and Bulgaria were also skeptical of the Constitutional Monarchy, believing that it would harm their interests in Macedonia. The Western press, on the other hand, largely supported the Constitutional Monarchy, believing that it would pave the way for a new phase of development in the East. This study seeks to answer the question of how the Constitutional Monarchy was received by Western public opinion in the light of archival documents, especially press materials and copyrighted works.
