Summary: This cartoon depicts the 1913 Ottoman coup d'état, in which the Committee of Union and Progress overthrew the monarchy of the Sultan. The Committee of Union and Progress was a political group, which had aligned itself with the Young Turks. The young Turks were a group that sought to turn the Ottoman Empire into a constitutional government. A statesman in Constantinople, Kamil Pasha had been working to eliminate the Committee of Union and Progress. In response to this, the Committee launched a coup, and quickly ousted the Ottoman government. The Hellespont, now referred to as the Dardanelles, was a waterway near Constantinople.
