Bust of Mehmed V Sultan of the Ottoman Empire
Made of metal alloy.Turkey was an ally of Germany during the First World War Unique
Mehmed V
Born November 2, 1844 in Constantinople, d. 3 July 1918 ibid.)
35 Sultan of the Ottoman Empire
He was the son of Sultan Abdulmecid I. He took power on April 27, 1909, after the parliament overthrew his predecessor and older brother Abdulhamid II. He took the nickname Resad ("Orthodox").
He did not have great political power, but he did not betray any ambitions in this direction either. The actual decisions in the state were made by the then ruling Committee of Unity and Progress, and from 1913 the triumvirate: Enver Pasha, Talaat Pasha, and Jemal Pasha.
His only significant decision was to declare a holy war, the so-called jihad, November 14, 1914. This appeal, which was to call all Muslims in the world to war against the infidels (although in the current political conditions it concerned only the Entente countries) did not have a major impact on the ongoing Great War.
He was the last Ottoman, nominal head of Egypt, who, in connection with the outbreak of the war in 1914, broke with illusory subordination, passing under the British protectorate.
Material: Made of metal alloy.
Size: 3.4 x 4.5 x 9.7 cm
