« Ottoman Official Attitudes Towards American Missionaries »

The history of Turkish-American relations go back to the 1790s when American sailors met with Turks in North Africa ...

Soon after they reached the Ottoman land in 1821, Parsons * died. But Fisk ** continued his mission. He visited Beirut, Tripoli, Baalbek, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Hebron , Alexandretta and Latakia, collecting information on Turks, Arabs, Kurds, Druzes, Maronites, Greeks and Armenians. He was able to convert some Armenians ...

Forty-one missionaries were sent to the Ottoman Empire in 1836. Between 1836-1844, 54 new missionaries were appointed to posts in the Levant.[8] This number reached 137 in 1875, 177 in 1890 and 209 in 1913.[9]

At the beginning, the relations between the Sublime Porte and the missionaries were peaceful.
