In June 1826, Sultan Mahmud II orchestrated the violent end of the Janissary corps, an institution that had shaped Ottoman politics for nearly five centuries. This episode explores the Vaka-i Hayriye, the Auspicious Incident, as Mahmud II moved against the elite slave soldiers who had become a reactionary force blocking reform. We trace the events of that bloody day in Istanbul's Hippodrome, where the Nizam-ı Cedid-trained artillery opened fire on the Janissaries, and examine the aftermath: the execution of thousands, the banning of the Bektashi order, and the creation of a modern army. We also discuss Mahmud's earlier reforms, the influence of European military models, and the Janissaries' final stand against the sultan they once made and unmade. #MahmudII #AuspiciousIncident #VakaiHayriye #Janissaries #OttomanEmpire #OttomanReform #NizamıCedid #Bektashi #Istanbul #Hippodrome #EtMeydanı #OttomanArmy #MilitaryHistory #19thCentury #SultanMahmud #JanissaryRevolt #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
