Notes
Since its realization of the importance of the Ottoman Sultanate in its economic prosperity and its arrival in India, England has worked to achieve its goals in the Sultanate. To secure raw materials for its factories, and then a market to sell its industrial products, the opportunity came when the rebellion of Muhammad Ali Pasha (1182-1227 AH / 1769-1848 AD) in Egypt began to pose a threat to the capital (Istanbul), so it began working to support the Ottoman Sultan. To undermine the authority of the governor of Egypt; To achieve its goals, it claimed that the revenues of the lands ruled by the latter, and the strength and superiority of its army, stemmed from the Ottoman monopoly law applied in the Sultanate in general and in Egypt in particular. If this law was abolished by the Sultanate, the power of Muhammad Ali Pasha would gradually weaken and the Sultanate would be able to get rid of his threat. Britain's goal was to remove the monopoly law in order to be able to carry out its commercial activities in the Ottoman Sultanate in general, and specifically in Izmir, freely and without any obstacle. Thus, what it aspired to was achieved by concluding a treaty in 1254 AH / 1838 AD, but Britain did not enjoy this, and did not carry out its commercial activities and dominate trade in Izmir as it had planned. As a result of internal Ottoman developments that hindered its trade, caused it serious problems and had a significant impact on British merchants, British trade in Izmir gradually weakened in favor of local merchants and other European powers.
