Abstract (EN)

Control of Jeddah, which is included in the Hejaz administrative allotment together with Mecca, Medina and Taif, which are expressed as ?the Holy Land? by the Islamic Ottoman Empire, was constitutional in Ottoman Empire as the control of holy places. This location, birth place of all three religions, was also important for Christians and Jews from this aspect.When Selim I the Brave, who turned his direction towards the East, to Islamic civilizations, seized control of Egypt from the Mameluke, he had also taken control of Jeddah and vicinity which were in the administrative allotment of Egypt. Selim I the Brave also took over the caliphate and with this prestige, he became the ruler of Holy lands and Islam. Ottoman Empire spared no sacrifice in issues like security of Haj route, construction and repair of Medina, and maintenance of Holy Places (Kaaba), however, it could not prevent European States from setting their eyes on this most strategic point of history.Against all measures taken by the Ottoman Empire, British and French governments have exaggerated the attack made to their Consuls in relation to Jeddah uprising of July 15, 1858 and misguiding the event by means of media, they have turned it into a matter of international public.
