Pax Ottomana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pax Ottomana, the "Ottoman Peace" is a recent, post-1980's, phrase used in Turkey to describe the relative stability attained on the lands taken over by the Ottoman Empire. The term is derived from the more common Pax Romana, the "Roman Peace".

The Ottoman Empire, at the height of its power during the 16th and 17th Centuries covered the entire Balkans, most of the Middle East and North Africa as well as Caucasia, regions that experienced social, economic and political instability following the demise of Ottoman rule and especially after the end of the Cold War.

Therefore many historians from the modern Republic of Turkey, with a favourable view of the Ottoman Empire, prefer to use the term in order to underline the supposedly positive impact of Ottoman rule on these regions.

There are several other terms derived from Pax Romana. See the following:
