Mahmud Shevket Pasha (Ottoman Turkish: محمود شوكت پاشا, Turkish: Mahmut Şevket Paşa; 1856 – 11 June 1913) was an Ottoman military commander and statesman. During the 31 March Incident in 1909, Shevket Pasha and the Committee of Union and Progress overthrew Abdul Hamid II after an anti-Constitutionalist uprising in Constantinople. He played the role of a military dictator, surpassing the power of the CUP and the Grand Viziers after the crisis, with many observers ascribing him the title "generalissimo". As War Minister he played a leading role in military reform and the incorporation of Air Squadrons. Read more on Wikipedia
