Topic: Abd ul Hamid I


  
  Abdul Hamid I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abd-ul-Hamid I (alternate spellings include Abdulhamid, Abdul Hamid or Abdul-Hamid) (March 20, 1725 – April 7, 1789), was the 27th sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
War was, however, forced on him, and less than a year after his accession the complete defeat of the Turks at Battle of Kozluja led to the treaty of Kuchuk-Kainarji on July 21, 1774.
In spite of his failures, Sultan Abdul Hamid I was regarded as the most gracious sultan of the Ottomans.

Son of Sultan Abdul Mejid, he was placed in power after his uncle Sultan Abdul Aziz was deposed.
He reigned for 93 days before also being deposed, due to mental illness, and succeeded by his brother Sultan Abdul Hamid II.
He failed to deliver the Constitution that his supporters had sought, and under his reign the country moved closer to the disastrous Russo–Turkish War, 1877–8 against Alexander II of Russia.

 Bryce Report. A Summary of Armenian History. V-VI.
The two Inspector-Generals were authorised to appoint and dismiss all officials in their respective spheres, except those "of superior rank." They were themselves to be appointed by the Ottoman Government, on the recommendation of the Powers, for a term, of ten years, and not to be removable within this period.
The Government duly proceeded to select two candidates for these Inspectorates, a Dutchman and a Norwegian, but its treatment of these gentlemen soon showed that in diplomacy, at any rate, the Young Turks had adopted the methods of Abd-ul Hamid.
The unfortunate nominees were spared the farce of exercising their maimed authority.
