Özet:

 Throughout history, the Mediterranean has been a connecting region between three continents. States that aspire to dominate the geography of the Mediterranean have never hesitated to engage in conflict. The competition for control of the Mediterranean, which originated with economic and trade routes, persisted prior to the First World War in order to exploit the regions mineral resources. The Ottoman States discovery of the most significant oil deposits within its borders at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century prompted these countries to concentrate their efforts on the Mesopotamia region in the energy competition among industrialized nations. The primary dynamic of this competition was the acquisition of strategic locations through the acquisition of commercial and economic concessions and the utilization of these resources through railway investments. It is evident that the neighboring states and great states of the Mediterranean have always been interested in this geography due to its geopolitical and geostrategic significance. The geopolitical and geostrategic significance of this region has consistently piqued the interest of neighboring states and major Mediterranean states, indicating its susceptibility to future threats as a result of its location and current energy potential. The objective of this investigation was to examine the politics and conflicts that the main states were involved in prior to the First World War, utilizing Ottoman Turkish sources and literature to draw comparisons.

 Üç kıtayı birbirine bağlayan Akdeniz, tarih boyunca buraya hâkim olmak isteyen devletlerin ilgisini çekmiş ve devletler bu uğurda savaşmaktan da geri durmamıştır. Akdeniz hâkimiyet mücadelesi bölgedeki ticaret yollarına sahip olup ekonomiye hükmetme düşüncesiyle başlamışken bu mücadele Birinci Dünya Harbi öncesi bölgedeki kaynakların elde edilmesi politikasına dönüşmüştür.19. Yüzyıl sonları ile 20. Yüzyıl başlarında, Osmanlı Devleti sınırları içinde bilinen en mühim petrol yataklarının tespit edilmesi, endüstrileşmiş ülkeler arasındaki enerji rekabetinde bu ülkelerin dikkatlerini Mezopotamya bölgesine yoğunlaştırmalarına sebep olmuştur. Ticari ve iktisadi imtiyazlar alarak stratejik noktaları elde etmek ve demiryolu yatırımlarıyla bu kaynaklara ulaşmak, bu rekabetin temel dinamiği olmuştur. Jeopolitik ve jeostratejik öneminden dolayı günümüzde de Akdenize komşu devletler ile büyük devletlerin ilgisini kaybetmeyen bu coğrafya, mevcut konumu ve enerji potansiyeli ile mücadele alanı olmaya gebe bir bölge olduğu açıkça görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Birinci Dünya Harbi öncesinde büyük devletlerin yürütmüş olduğu siyaset ve mücadele, literatürden tespit edilen ve Osmanlı Türkçesi kaynaklarla karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
