Notes
The United States, as an emerging power, tried hard after gaining its independence in 1783 AD to open new markets in many countries. Regardless of proximity or distance; Because the American economy was in dire need of recovery and a sense of its strength after emerging from the cloak of the English occupation. The English influence over the amounts of global trade at that time was remarkable. Therefore, it decided to stand on its own two feet, away from the economic power of its arch-friend England, and it had what it wanted when it was able to conclude many commercial diplomatic agreements, for this purpose, and in order to avoid the evil of the Barbary pirates from North African countries, who were a severe headache in the head of the ambitions and dreams of the American side in the Mediterranean - where American ships could not approach this sea except after concluding a series of agreements with the officials in these countries; To avoid the tribute imposed by these pirates for crossing ships, which the United States considered a great insult to it. Thanks to these agreements, the United States was able to reach the Ottoman Empire and its various provinces - especially the Ottoman port of Smyrna and Izmir - which witnessed commercial movement of American ships that docked there. To carry out the trade exchange of many commodities, most notably opium, many American trading houses were also established. To consolidate its position within the Ottoman Empire as an entity with its own characteristics alongside the other economic powers present there, which made the diplomatic representation of the United States inevitable, it established an embassy in Istanbul. To protect its interests, it ended up concluding a trade agreement with them in 1830 AD, through which it preserved its commercial rights within the Ottoman states, not only in Smyrna or Istanbul, or even in the Ottoman ports alone, but in the states belonging to the Ottoman Empire, which is an important advantage and a distinguished harvest for many years of serious commercial attempts, and the diligence of a group of loyal American figures, headed by David Offley, who is the backbone in establishing this strong commercial relationship between the two countries.
