Western countries sought to further interfere in the affairs of the Ottoman Empire despite all these gains that the state's non-Muslim subjects had obtained during the Tanzimat period. The pretext that this state presented to exert more pressure on the Ottoman Empire was to protect the Christian minorities therein. This required creating a kind of discontent in the cities and places where Christians constituted a significant majority, which led to a kind of instability in those areas, which necessitated further foreign intervention. The American "missionary" campaigns that penetrated the lands of the Ottoman Empire and legally carried out their work after the Tanzimat decrees played an important role in this regard. The effective tool that these missionary campaigns used to carry out their mission of weakening the Ottoman Empire was the establishment of many educational institutions in places where ethnic and religious minorities gathered in many cities and states of the state. In this context comes our research, through which we seek to learn about what the American missionary missions did through their schools within the lands of the state, and the impact of that on one of the most important minorities in the Ottoman Empire, namely the Armenians. The efforts made by the Ottoman Empire to confront these foreign schools in general and missionary schools in particular, relying in reaching this goal on the historical method that is based on analysis, interpretation and induction of sources, references and studies related to the subject of study.
