‘Abdu’l-Hamid II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | ‘Abdu’l-Ḥamīd II (Ottoman Turkish: عبد الحميد ثانی `Abdu’l-ḥamîd-i sânî, Turkish: İkinci Abdülhamid) (September 21, 1842 – February 10, 1918), was a Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. |
 | | Over the years Sultan Hamid succeeded in reducing his ministers to the position of secretaries, and he concentrated much of the administration of the Empire into his own hands at Yildiz. |
 | | The government, restored by soldiers from Salonica, decided on Abdul Hamid's deposition, and on April 27 his brother Reshid Efendi was proclaimed as Sultan Mehmed V. |
