The Young Turks came to power in the Ottoman Empire in 1908.

The Young Turks was a political reform movement that emerged in the early 20th century with the aim of modernizing and revitalizing the Ottoman Empire. They sought to establish a constitutional government, promote secularism, and address the empire's economic and social challenges. In July 1908, a group of Young Turk officers in the Ottoman army initiated a successful revolt against the autocratic rule of Sultan Abdulhamid II, leading to the restoration of the Ottoman constitution and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The Young Turks played a significant role in shaping the final years of the Ottoman Empire until its dissolution following World War
