October 1895 CE

The Great Powers (Britain, France, Russia) force Hamid to sign a new reform package designed to curtail the powers of the Hamidiye in October 1895 which, like the Berlin treaty, will never be implemented.

On October 1, 1895, two thousand Armenians assembled in Constantinople to petition for the implementation of the reforms, but Ottoman police units converge on the rally and violently break it up.[

Upon receiving the reform package, the sultan is said to have remarked, "This business will end in blood."
