Abstract

This study aims to shed light on the diplomacy of the Ottoman Empire in dealing with the Egyptian crisis 1832-1840 in the light of the Ottoman documents, i.e., relying on the Ottoman documents (the three reports: internal, external and excellent) and other printed sources. This also includes Ottoman diplomacy in the wake of the defeat of the Ottoman army in the Battle of Nasaybiin in July 1839 AD, the European diplomatic position in the wake of the defeat of the Ottoman army after the Battle of Nasaybiin and the decline of the activity of Ottoman diplomacy in the late Egyptian crisis. The study concludes that the Ottoman Empire resorted to diplomacy when it found that the military superiority of the Egyptian forces became a reality on the ground.
