CAPITAL ABDULHAMID

It fictionalizes the important events that marked the last 13 years of the reign of Sultan Abdulhamid, who ruled the Ottoman Empire from its capital, from a historical revisionist perspective. It describes the political developments following the 1897 Ottoman-Greek War by referring to the Young Turks, who were dissidents in favor of constitutional monarchy, and the Freemasons, who are the subject of many conspiracy theories. It incorrectly portrays Theodor Herzl's demand for land in Palestine as events that did not actually happen. Throughout his reign, the Sultan faced opposition from all sides, from England and Russia to those who were supposedly loyal to him.
