Handlowe i nawigacyjne konwencje rosyjskie zawarte z Turcją I Austrią w roku 1846

Abstract

At the time of the greatest flourishing of Odessa and general Black Sea trade, as well as during days of the peak of political importance of tzarist Russia ruled by Nicholas the I-st, this country has signed two significant agreements on trade and navigation. Both were agreed with countries considered as extremelysensitive to so-called "Eastern question", ie. withTurkey and Austria. Dated as of 20th of July 1846, the navigationagreement concluded by Russia with Austria was in its wildest examples the standard transport solution of generally accepted character. Meanwhile, signed on 30th of April 1846,the trade convention withOttoman Empire, exept bringing some obvious benefits to Turkey based representatives of tzaristtrade, openly confirmed strong unevenness of importance of both countries formally accepting it. In this way, this convention generated one of the future embers of the conflict, that later were to appear with diagonal force altogether with the outbreak of Crimean War.
