النشاطات الزراعية في ريف القدس وأثر الصراعات السياسية عليها خلال القرن الثامن عشر الميلادي

Abstract

The agricultural activities in the countryside of the Holy City of Al-Quds were greatly affected by the conflicts and rebellions that were occurring in the region, and agricultural fields were always destroyed when battles occurred in the area in which they are located, and the belligerents often use olive fields or vine farms as firewood for their fuel and other means of sabotage. The study tries to show the impact of political and military conflicts on agricultural activities and activities in the countryside of Al-Quds Al-Sharif during the eighteenth century, and the crises, rebellions, and battles that occurred in it in the vicinity of the province of Damascus, which negatively affected Al-Quds district farms and destroyed many of its fields, which were important economic resources for its people and the Holy City and the attempt of the local Ottoman authorities not to expose the city and its countryside to any danger threatening its people, and this is what the reader will notice in the folds of the study that relied on documents and documentary sources to investigate their information and show their effects.
