Background and career

Mahmud Shevket Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: محمود شوكت پاشا, Turkish: Mahmut Şevket Paşa; 1856 – 11 June 1913) was an Ottoman military commander and statesman.

During the 31 March Incident in 1909, Shevket Pasha and the Committee of Union and Progress overthrew Abdul Hamid II after an anti-Constitutionalist uprising in Constantinople. He played the role of a military dictator, surpassing the power of the CUP and the Grand Viziers after the crisis, with many observers ascribing to him the title of "generalissimo". As War Minister, he introduced military reform, including the incorporation of the empire's Air Squadrons. Shevket Pasha became Grand Vizier during the First Balkan War, in the aftermath of the CUP's 23 January 1913 coup d'état, resuming war with the Balkan League. He was assassinated 6 months later by partisans of the Freedom and Accord Party, as part of a larger counter-coup attempt against the CUP.
