Yusuf Karamanli, with the allegiance of the country split among rival claimants to the throne, abdicates in favor of his son, Ali II (reigns 1832-35).

In response to Ali's appeal for assistance and out of fear of the European takeover in Tripoli, the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II sends Turkish troops, ostensibly to put down the numerous rebellions against the pasha and to restore order, but Ali is packed aboard a Turkish warship, which carries him into exile, while the sultan's troops reinstate Ottoman rule in Tripoli.
