Explicación:
The rejection of the despotic and distrustful government of Sultan Abdul Hamid II led to the emergence of a secret opposition organization in 1889: the Committee of Union and Progress, whose objective was to end the absolutist system, restore the Constitution of 1876 and implant a liberal constitutional government. .2 Government persecution caused most of its members to emigrate, mainly to Paris, where they received the nickname by which they are best known: "Young Turks" .2 During the reign of Abdul Hamid, political power was held by the sultan and a small palatial clique, unable to guarantee the stability of the empire.3 Government inefficiency aroused discontent within the Public Administration and the Army, watched over by the monarch's spies.3 Abdul Hamid's reign was the the height of legal, administrative and educational reforms, but political power remained in the hands of the sultan, who considered all political liberalism an am It enchants its prerogatives.4 Paradoxically, the government reforms fostered the emergence of the opposition, which was seeking political, social and economic change that would favor it.5
The strength of the opposition grew with the founding in Thessaloniki in 1906 of the Ottoman Freedom Society, which had supporters among the officers and non-commissioned officers stationed in Macedonia.2 The Society joined the Committee in 1907.2 The possibility of the powers returned to action in Macedonia in the face of the failure of the reforms imposed in 1903 after the Ilinden revolt - the Russian and British sovereigns met in Revel in January and discussed the matter - and the fear that the Sultan would disrupt the committee and purge the army of his supporters led the Young Turks to perform in 1908.6
