Slavery and the Ottoman-crimean Khanate Connection
Abstract
This document discusses the economic connection between Ottoman Anatolia and the Crimean Khanate within the context of the slave trade. It emphasizes the consumption of slaves in Anatolia as a driving force behind the khanate's consistent raiding into Russian territory. The frequency of this raiding correlates with several historical events and social practices which cause the demand for slaves to fluctuate. Through the detailed analysis of this correlation, the Black Sea system is more effectively described by a core-periphery relationship.
