June 1839 CE

Muhammad 'Ali, dissatisfied with partial sovereignty over Syria, goes to war again against the Sultan's forces in 1839.

Mahmud II on May 23 had ordered his forces to advance on the Syrian frontier, but Ibrahim attacks on June 24 and destroys them at the Battle of Nezib, near Urfa.

Echoing the Battle of Konya, Constantinople is again left vulnerable to Ali's forces.
