1864 CE to 1875 CE

The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 strengthens the Ottoman decision to remain in Yemen.

In 1872, military forces are dispatched from Constantinople and move beyond the Ottoman stronghold in the lowlands (Tihama) to conquer Sana'a.

By 1873, the Ottomans succeed in conquering the northern highlands.

Sana'a becomes the administrative capital of Yemen Vilayet.
