About Enver Pasha
İsmail Enver (November 22, 1881 – August 4, 1922) was an Ottoman military officer who formed one-third of the dictatorial triumvirate known as the "Three Pashas" (along with Talaat Pasha and Cemal Pasha) in the Ottoman Empire, which held de facto rule from 1913 until the end of World War I in 1918. Enver was an early member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), a Young Turk organization that agitated against Abdul Hamid II's absolute rule. He was a key leader of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, and along with Ahmed Niyazi and Eyub Sabri was hailed as "hero of the revolution". After the 1913 Ottoman coup d’état that brought the CUP directly to power, he became (4 January 1914) the Minister of War.

How could a person forget about the plains, the meadows, watered with the blood of our forefathers; abandon those places where Turkish raiders had hidden their steeds for a full four hundred years, with our mosques, our tombs, our dervish retreats, our bridges and our castles, to leave them to our slaves, to be driven out of Rumelia to Anatolia: this was beyond a person’s endurance. I am prepared to gladly sacrifice the remaining years of my life to take revenge on the Bulgarians, the Greeks, and the Montenegrans.
