Coups, Betrayals, Rebellions in the Ottoman Empire

The history of coups in our country dates back to ancient times. In the Ottoman Empire, coups that left their marks were frequently witnessed. These were defined as ‘revolt,’ ‘rebellion,’ and ‘uprising’ during that era, but all of them were considered as ‘treason.’ Gürbüz Azak, a master name in Bâbıâli, narrates the coups, betrayals, and rebellions that occurred throughout Ottoman history in this work. The consequences of these attempts and the fates of those who sought to overthrow the sultans are depicted vividly, like a film strip. Those who defied the Ottoman Palace and sought to depose the sultans from their thrones to install individuals of their own liking generally faced both societal condemnation and violent punishment for their mostly unsuccessful endeavors. To better understand today, it is necessary to know and comprehend yesterday.
