Mehmed V
1844 CE–1918 CE · Constantinople
Mehmed V became Ottoman ruler in 1909 after the deposition of his brother Abdulhamid II, reigning largely as a constitutional figurehead while real power lay with the Young Turk leadership of the Committee of Union and Progress. During his reign the empire lost most of its remaining European territory in the Balkan Wars and entered the First World War on the side of the Central Powers. The ruling Committee of Union and Progress carried out the mass deportation and killing of Ottoman Armenians in 1915–1916, commonly termed the Armenian Genocide. He died in 1918, before the war's end.
