MAHMUD I

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 396 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MAHMUD I . (16961754),
sultan
  of Turkey, was the son of Mustafa II., and succeeded his uncle Ahmed III. in 1730. After the suppression of a military revolt the war with Persia was continued with varying success, and terminated in 1736 by a treaty of peace restoring the status quo ante bellum. The next enemy whom Turkey was called upon to face was kussia, later joined by
Austria
 . War went on for four years; thesuccesses gained by
Russia
  were outweighed by
Austria
 's various reverses, terminating by the defeat of Wallis at Krotzka, and the peace concluded at Belgrade was a
triumph
  for Turkish diplomacy. The
sultan
 , throughout desirous for peace, is said to have been much under the
influence
  of the
chief
  eunuch, Haji Beshir Aga. In 1754 Mahmud died of heart-disease when returning from the Friday service at the mosque. He had a
passion
  for building, to which are due numberless kiosques, where nocturnal orgies were carried on by him and his boon companions. In this reign the
system
  of appointing Phanariote Greeks to the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia was instituted. (See PHANA1I0TES.)
