COFFEEHOUSES & THE TREATY OF ADRIANOPLE
Ottoman coffeehouses were more than places to drink kahve. They were hubs of news, diplomacy, gossip and public debate, where merchants and officials discussed the fate of the empire. On this day in 1829, the Treaty of Adrianople ended the Russo-Turkish War. The peace reshaped influence in the Balkans and Black Sea world, giving coffeehouse chatter across Ottoman cities plenty to discuss.
