Description
The Ottoman Empire's final years were marked by a desperate struggle for survival. As European powers vied for control, the empire was torn apart, with nations claiming special rights and economic privileges. Russia's aggressive expansion in 1877 brought the conflict to a head, prompting a cautious response from Europe. In this tumultuous period, a young boy was born in Salonika, Greece, who would one day become a key figure in the empire's fate. Mustafa Kemal, the son of Ali Riza and Zubeida, grew up amidst the turmoil, his life forever changed by the events unfolding around him. As the world watched with bated breath, the Red Sultan, Abdul Hamid, skillfully navigated the complex web of alliances and rivalries, determined to preserve the empire's integrity.
