Abstract (EN)

This thesis evaluates possible reasons for why the Ottoman Empire implemented new technology, especially sailing ships, more than a hundred years after western naval forces started using them. The Ottoman Empire's geography, politics, military decisions, economic activities and individual contributions are evaluated separately. Each of these factors, in different ways, contributes to the Ottoman failure to modernize their fleet in a timely manner.
