He was succeeded by his half-brother Mehmed VI. His nine-year reign was marked by the cession of the Empire's North African territories and the Dodecanese Islands, including Rhodes, in the Italo-Turkish War, the traumatic loss of almost all of the Empire's European territories west of Constantinople (now Istanbul) in the First Balkan War, and the entry of the Ottoman Empire into World War I in 1914, which would ultimately lead to the Empire's end.IS96529.

Islamic, Ottoman Empire, Mahmud II, 28 July 1808 - 1 July 1839
Mahmud II was the 30th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1808 until his death in 1839. His reign is recognized for the extensive administrative, military, and fiscal reforms he instituted, including the 1826 abolition of the conservative Janissary corp, and culminating in the Decree of Tanzimat ("reorganization") that was carried out by his sons. Often described as "Peter the Great of Turkey," Mahmud's reforms, political, and social changes, would eventually lead to the birth of the modern Turkish Republic. Mahmud's reign was also marked by nationalist uprisings in Ottoman-ruled Serbia and Greece, leading to significant loss of territory for the Empire following the emergence of an independent Greek state.IS96729.
