Abstract

The European colonial penetration was manifested in its geographical beginnings and in the activity of the European consuls; it was used as a basis for the definition of Africa, where the center was an unknown spot                                                                          .

Prime Minister Giulietti, for his enthusiasm and long tenure, began to promote public opinion in support of peaceful means of penetration. This helped the Ottoman administration's decay and delay in all fields                                                                                  .
