1900 CE to 1911 CE

A group of reform-minded nationalist army officers in Constantinople, known as the Young Turks, forces Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1908 to restore the 1876 Ottoman constitution.

The next year the Young Turks depose Hamid in favor of his malleable brother, Mehmed V.

Under the constitution, Ottoman provinces are represented by delegates elected to an imperial parliament.

The restoration of the constitution and installation of Mehmed V initially generates a wave of good feeling among the empire's non-Turkish subjects and stimulates expectations of greater self-government.
