After his death the empire experienced severe internal crises, including disorder in the provinces, unrest in the military as serious inflation caused soldiers to be underpaid or not paid at all, and succession issues due to the lack of candidates who were of age to assume the sultanate.

 Bey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bey is originally a Turkic word for "chieftain," traditionally applied to the leaders of small tribal groups.
The title bey could be maintained as a similar office within Arab states that broke away from the High Porte, such as Khedive Mehmet Ali's Egypt, where it was a rank below Pasha (maintained in two rank classes after 1922), and a title of courtesy for a Pasha's son.
Sometimes a bey was a territorial vassal within a khanate, as in each of the three zuzes under the Khan of the Khazaks.

 Notes on the Ottoman Empire
The powerful empire of Byzantium was an extension of the Roman empire that lasted more than nine centuries and was responsible for the conversion of the Russians to Christianity.
I finally chose to use the title "Notes on the Ottoman Empire" because although it lasted only six centuries, its influence is still present in all the regions shown on these maps, including those it did not occupy.
For information on the history of the neighbouring regions to the north and to the south, you could refer to the Notes on the Balkans that I gathered in 1999 and the Notes on the Middle East drafted in 2002.

It is true that Ismail Bey Gaspirali's attempt to openly discourage his compatriots from abandoning their ancestral homeland, the Crimea, was too late; the majority of the Crimean Tatars had already fled their ancestral homeland and resettled in the Ottoman Empire.
Ismail Bey Gaspirali was the individual who really made a monumental difference in the national awakening of the Crimean Tatars and the rest of the Turkic-Muslim people of the Russian Empire and the development of the milli ruh or national conscious.
It is unfortunate that Ismail Bey was not born a half a century earlier to awaken the national conscience of the Crimean Tatar people during the height of the Crimean Tatar emigrations to the Ottoman Empire.
