Abstract: One of the fronts that caused many economic and social problems for the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, in which the Ottoman Empire was a part, is the Caucasus Front. Shortly after the war started, the Russians attacked the Ottoman Empire from the Caucasus Front by sea and land, and the region was severely damaged. With the fall of the Caucasus Front, which had great hopes, the Russians started to bomb and capture the present Eastern Black Sea region, including Rize. Especially between 1916-1918, Rize, one of the important centers in the region, was badly affected economically by this war and the people of the region had to migrate to the west. In this study, the economic effects of the war on Rize were examined, and it was understood that Rize suffered severe damage both economically and socially.N30 N40 N90
