Mehmed VI

1861 CE1926 CE · Constantinople

Mehmed VI was the last sultan of the Ottoman Empire, coming to the throne in 1918 as the empire faced defeat in the First World War and Allied occupation. His government signed the punitive Treaty of Sèvres in 1920, while a nationalist movement under Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) organized resistance in Anatolia. The sultanate was abolished by the nationalist Grand National Assembly on 1 November 1922, and Mehmed VI went into exile, dying in 1926.
