In January 1913, a small group of Young Turk officers stormed the Ottoman government building in a bold coup that would set the empire on an irreversible path to World War I. This episode dives into the Bab-ı Ali Baskını, the raid on the Sublime Porte led by Enver Bey and Talat Bey, which overthrew the Kamil Pasha government and installed a hardline İttihat ve Terakki (Committee of Union and Progress) regime. We explore the immediate aftermath: the assassination of Grand Vizier Mahmut Şevket Paşa, the consolidation of the Three Pashas (Enver, Talat, and Cemal), and the shift toward German military influence. The coup's context includes the disastrous First Balkan War, the loss of Edirne, and the empire's desperate attempts to hold onto its European territories. We also examine how this power grab alienated non-Turkish minorities and set the stage for wartime deportations and the Armenian Genocide. A pivotal, bloody moment that turned the Ottoman Empire into a military dictatorship and sealed its collapse. #1913OttomanCoup #BabıAliBaskını #YoungTurks #İttihatveTerakki #EnverPaşa #TalatPaşa #CemalPaşa #MahmutŞevketPaşa #KamilPaşa #BalkanWars #Edirne #ThreePashas #OttomanEmpire #WorldWarI #History #FexingoHistory #MiddleEastHistory #Coups Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
