Midhat Pasha
Midhat Pasha, influenced by the British deep state, plunged the Ottoman
Empire in a war with Russia. He was also one of the three plotters of the coup
that dethroned and caused the martyrdom of Sultan Abdülaziz. Interesting-
ly, he was also behind the riot that led to the coup. It is also known that he
had planned the coup with the British ambassador Elliot. 146
During his first term as the grand vizier, he signed a decree that allowed
Egypt to receive foreign loans, which ultimately caused Egypt to come under
British rule. Ármin Vámbéry, known as a British spy of the Abdul Hamid II
era, was the French tutor of Midhat Pasha.
It is also known that during his time as the governor of Baghdad, he
sought to bring the Kuwait Emirate under British rule.
Kamil Pasha
Having spent 9 years as grand vizier, Kamil
Pasha was another Ottoman officer that was
called 'English' for his anglophile nature. His
visit to London in 1851 for an exhibition left
him with a lifelong admiration for England.
This admiration was such common knowl-
edge, from spies' reports to embassy notes,
that the matter was discussed everywhere.
When he was assigned to Rhodes while he was
the governor of Izmir, he sought refuge in the Kamil Pasha
British Consulate. Only after the Sultan gave a per-
sonal assurance, he returned to Istanbul.
When he was the Izmir governor, Kamil Pasha worked with the British
to create an autonomous region in Izmir, just as in Egypt. Many historians
believe that Abdul Hamid II secretly supported him in this endeavor.
His final term as the Grand Vizier ended when he had to resign at gun-
point by Enver Pasha. He then sought refuge with his close friend Lord Kitch-
ener, British Consul-General in charge of Egypt at the time.
