The April Uprising has been the main factor behind the incidents that
culminated in the coup. From April 20, 1876, when the uprising started, right
until August 31, when Abdul Hamid II was made the Sultan, the British deep
state unleashed a relentless campaign of hatred on Turks. Mysteriously, many
circles that accused Turks of carrying out non-existent massacres at the time

over those of their country, preferred to be pawns of the British deep state.
Their horrible betrayal caused the martyrdom of thousands of people.
Developments in North Africa

In the 16 century, the Ottoman Empire – a strong naval force – con-
quered North Africa. The Empire reached the coast of Italy in the north, con-
trolled the entire Eastern Mediterranean and seized Egypt and Morocco in
the south. In other words, the Mediterranean became a Turkish lake. The
