history

Neighboring countries of Bosnia 1683.

Eyâlet Bosnia emerged in 1580 from the amalgamation of smaller provinces that were formed during the Ottoman conquest and pacification of Bosnia from 1463. Due to the Turkish Wars, the area of ​​the province decreased increasingly from the end of the 17th century. The Eyâlet suffered the greatest loss with the Treaty of Karlowitz . In the course of the Tanzimat reforms, the Vilâyet Acts were enacted in 1864, which envisaged the transformation of all Ottoman Eyâlet into Vilâyets . With a Ferman of the Sultan on May 13, 1865, the Eyâlet was transformed into Vilâyet Bosnia .

Administrative division

The administrative structure of the Eyâlets changed frequently. Around 1606 the Eyâlet was divided into the following seven sandjaks :

  • Sanjak Bosnia (Bosanski Sandžak)
  • Sandschak Herzegovina (Hercegovački Sandžak)
  • Sandschak Klis (Kliški Sandžak)
  • Sandschak Cernik (Cernički Sandžak)
  • Sandschak Krk (Krčki Sandžak)
  • Sandschak Zvornik (Zvornički Sandžak)
  • Sandschak Bihać (Bihaćki Sandžak)

In the middle of the 17th century, at the time of its greatest expansion, the Bosnian Eyâlet encompassed what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina and areas beyond. It was divided into eight sanjaks:

As the Turkish wars continued in Europe, the area of ​​the province decreased in the same century. After the Treaty of Karlowitz , the province was only divided into four sanjaks (three of which had lost size). From 1833 to 1851 the Sanjak Herzegovina was spun off from the Eyâlet.
