An Ottoman AAR
Ottoman Empire January 1st 1836
The starting days of 1836 were filled with uncertainty in the Ottoman Empire, as the two main political positions in the empire the Sultan and the Grand Vizier were vacant or in a transitional period. The Sultan on January 1st was 13 year old Abdulmecid the son of Mahmud II the previous Sultan. Abdulmecid ascension to the throne was caused by his father’s decreasing health which kept secret from everyone but a select few. He passed away on the 21st of December 1835 from what would later be diagnosed as tuberculosis, before passing he stated that his son Abdulmecid would take control of the Sultanate. The position of Grand Vizier was left vacant after Mehmed Emin Rauf Pasha was forced to resign after being found of compromising the integrity of the position, because he let other western powers(Britain and Austria primarily) to corrupt officials or those in direct contact to the sultan including himself. He officially left his office on the 5th of November after a long investigation on the matter. With Mahmud’s failing health he focused more on the smooth transition between him and his son than appointing a new Vizier, but left a list of suitable candidates for his son to pick. With a young Sultan with no Grand Vizier yet to guide him the future of the empire is unclear, Abdulmecid could either return the empire to its former glory or to a darker place than it was on his ascension

Hello everyone and welcome to my second AAR, my first ended when I lost my game files, hopefully that won't happen again. My first AAR gave me some experience and should help with this AAR, and as shown above it is one on the Ottoman Empire. In my time playing Vic 2 I realized I hadn't played as the "Sick man of Europe" and thought it would be a fun experience to have an AAR on my first play through, this is interesting because I don't know many events after the Oriental crisis for them. Of course my rules are that I don't reload unless the game crashes(or something similar) I don't plan on going over the infamy limit and finally try not to be too gamey. My goal is to make the Ottoman Empire be a dominate power again. So with that out of the way I hope you enjoy.
