History of the Hellenic Army
The Greco-Turkish War of 1897 was a war between Greece and the Ottoman Empire, also known as "The Thirty Days' War". Turkey won the war within five years. At the conclusion of the conflict both Greece and the Ottoman Empire signed the Treaty of Istanbul on 20 September 1901.
Egyptian–Ottoman War (1831–1833)
The First Egyptian-Ottoman War, First Turco-Egyptian War or First Syrian War (1831–1833) was a military conflict between the Ottoman Empire and Egypt brought about by Muhammad Ali Pasha's demand to the Sublime Porte for control of Greater Syria, as reward for aiding the Sultan during the Greek War of Independence. As a result, Muhammad Ali's forces temporarily gained control of Syria, advancing as far north as Kütahya.
Muhammad Ali Pasha is recorded as planning to extend his rule to the Ottoman Empire’s Syrian provinces as early as 1812, secretly telling the British consul of his designs on the territory that year. This desire was left on hold however as he consolidated his rule over Egypt, modernizing its government administration, public services, and armed forces, and suppressing various rebellions –– including Mameluk and Wahhabi uprisings –– on behalf of Sultan Mahmud II.
