Since the 1830s, Palestine has been under great pressure from European countries to achieve their religious, political and economic interests. In view of the dangers that might result from this, the Ottoman Empire did not stand idle. The Ottoman Empire tried to counter this threat by taking administrative measures to prevent them from achieving their ambitions. The most important of these measures was when the Ottoman Empire established the independent sanjak Jerusalem and connected it directly with Istanbul. The Palestinian society was affected through the administrative procedures and the many reforms. Jerusalem was influenced by the importance of religious Ottoman measures, which led to the city's status to become one of the most important administrative and political Palestinian cities.
