Course Content (Syllabus)
Region of Pontus from the Fall of the Empire of Trebizond to the beginning of the 19th century
The objective of the Course is to study the History of the Greeks who lived in Pontus (regions between Colchis and the so-called “Small Armenia” to Paphlagonia to the west and Cappadocia to the south) during the period starting with the Fall of Trebizond (1461) till the first decades of the 19th century. Especially the period 1461-1774 was characterized as a period of introversion, particularly after the Ottomans and their Allies prevailed in Black Sea. Yet, by the end of the 18th – beginning of the 19th century Europeans started rapidly penetrating into the Ottoman Empire in order to serve their geopolitical, strategic and economic interests. Within this long period, the socio-economic development of the Greeks of Pontus, the formation of their institutions within the Rum millet and their gradual transition from religious to national identity will be examined.
