December 1832 CE

The Egyptian army now marches north into Anatolia.

At the Battle of Konya (December 21, 1832), Ibrahim Pasha soundly defeats the Ottoman army led by Koca Mustafa Reshid Pasha.

There are now no military obstacles between Ibrahim's forces and Constantinople itself.

Muhammad Ali's goal is now the removal of the current Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II and replacing him with his son, the infant Abdülmecid.

While Britain and France are sympathetic to Muhammad Ali, Nicholas I sends a Russian army to the assistance of the Turks.
