1913 Ottoman coup d'état

Coup d'etat that took place in the Ottoman Empire in 1913

The 1913 Ottoman coup d'état (23 January 1913), also known as the Raid on the Sublime Porte (Turkish: Bâb-ı Âlî Baskını), was a coup d'état carried out in the Ottoman Empire by a number of Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) members led by Ismail Enver Bey and Mehmed Talât Bey, in which the group made a surprise raid on the central Ottoman government buildings, the Sublime Porte (Turkish: Bâb-ı Âlî). The coup occurred in the context of toxic partisanship in the Ottoman Empire between the CUP and the Freedom and Accord Party, including a fraudulent April 1912 general election benefiting the CUP and a coup against them in July. After receiving the permission of Sultan Mehmed V to form a new government in October 1912, Kâmil Pasha engaged in diplomatic talks with Bulgaria after the unsuccessful First Balkan War.
