Özet:

 The Fāṭimid State, which belonged to the Ismāilī Shiism, completed its establishment in 297 909 by eliminating the Aghlabīds of the Abbāsīds in Ifrīqiyya. The Fāṭimid State, which aimed to be a politically and militarily effective power in the Maghrib region from the moment of its establishment, realised that it had to have a great naval power since it had to fight against the Byzantine Empire and the Umayyad State of Andalusia in the Western Mediterranean, and formed a strong navy by inheriting the naval experience of the Aghlabīds in the Western Mediterranean. Due to its strategic position in the region, it dominated the island of Sicily and established superiority over the Byzantine Empire. He also tried to expand his borders by organising successful raids on the cities in the south of Italy. During the reign of Caliph Qāim, the naval power of the state made a great leap with the capture of the city of Genoa in the north of Italy. The Fāṭimid naval power, which reached its peak during the reigns of Caliphs Manṣûr and Muizz, enabled the state to achieve brilliant successes against the Byzantine Empire and to organise attacks on Andalusian cities. With the control of islands such as Sardinia and Corsica in the Western Mediterranean, an important Fāṭimid domination was established in the region. As the Fāṭimids attached importance to seafaring militarily, they also developed seafaring commercially and undertook important tasks in the Western Mediterranean by having a wide commercial network thanks to their ships. In this study, it will be tried to reveal how the Fāṭimids were effective in the Western Mediterranean thanks to their maritime activities.

 İsmâilî Şiîliğine mensup Fâtımî Devleti, 297 909 yılında İfrîkıyede Abbâsîlere bağlı Ağlebîleri ortadan kaldırarak kuruşunu tamamladı. Kurulduğu andan itibaren Mağrib bölgesinde siyasî ve askerî açıdan etkin bir güç olmayı hedefleyen Fâtımî Devleti, Batı Akdenizde Bizans İmparatorluğu ve Endülüs Emevî Devleti ile mücadele etmek zorunda kalmasından ötürü büyük bir deniz gücüne sahip olması gerektiğini fark etti ve Ağlebîlerin Batı Akdenizdeki denizcilik alanındaki birikimini de tevarüs ederek güçlü bir donanma oluşturdu. Bölgedeki stratejik konumu nedeniyle Sicilya adasını hâkimiyet altına alarak Bizans İmparatorluğuna karşı üstünlük kurdu. Ayrıca İtalyanın güneyinde yer alan şehirlere başarılı akınlar gerçekleştirerek sınırlarını genişletme çabası içerisinde oldu. Halife Kâim döneminde İtalyanın kuzeyinde bulunan Cenova şehrinin ele geçirilmesiyle devletin deniz gücü büyük bir sıçrayış kaydetti. Halife Mansûr ve Muizz dönemlerinde zirve dönemini yaşayan Fâtımî denizciliği, Bizans İmparatorluğuna karşı parlak başarılar kazanılmasını sağlamasının yanında Endülüs şehirlerine saldırılarda bulunulmasına imkân tanıdı. Batı Akdenizde bulunan Sardinya ve Korsika gibi adaların da kontrol altına alınmasıyla bölgede önemli ölçüde Fâtımî hâkimiyeti tesis edildi. Fâtımîler askerî açıdan denizciliğe önem verdikleri gibi ticarî açıdan da denizciliği geliştirdiler ve Batı Akdenizdeki gemileri sayesinde geniş bir ticarî ağ yelpazesine sahip olarak önemli işler üstlendiler. Bu çalışmada Fâtımîlerin önem verdikleri denizcilik faaliyetleri sayesinde Akdenizin batısında nasıl etkili oldukları ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.
